Story
Oliver is a handsome 2-year old male Border Collie mix who was brought to the HSOV on November 13, 2025 by a Good Samaritan who found him on State Route 339 in the Vincent Ohio area. Oliver was not wearing a collar, and he was not microchipped. Oliver has a black medium-haired coat with a large patch of white on his chest, black freckles on his white legs/paws, a long tail with a white tip on the end, and a sweet face with dark brown eyes, a splash of white on the right-hand side of his muzzle, and large floppy ears. Oliver weighs 44 lbs. Thanks to HSOV Volunteer Jennie Payton Sherrard for accompanying Oliver for outdoor photos on November 14th. It was touching to see Oliver politely begging for bites of a donut (no icing) when he noticed two volunteers enjoying Tim Horton donuts in the lobby. Oliver 'sat pretty' and was rewarded with several bites of donuts before returning to his floor crate. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Oliver will be held for three days so that his family will have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership. Since he was not reclaimed, Oliver went home with a foster family on December 7, 2025 who plans to adopt him after he is neutered. Update: Oliver was neutered on February 19, 2026. Unfortunately, Oliver was returned to our shelter on March 24, 2026 because the foster family was unable to keep him .. And they said that Oliver does best without kids in the home. Oliver is housetrained.

Buck is a sweet boy that was brought in as a stray. He is out and about a lot locally so was time he came to us. We are still learning about him but he is such a sweet fella. Very lovable and gets along with everyone. We are guessing him around 2-3 years old. He has been around dogs, cats and children and does well. His 5 day stray hold is up and he is ready for adoption. Neutered, up to date, chipped and house trained. Adoption fee is $150

These pups are in Marietta, Ohio too!

Story
Piglet (affectionately known as Piggie) is a handsome 8-year old male Pit Bull Terrier/Red Heeler mix who came to the HSOV during the overnight/early morning hours on January 26, 2024 when he was placed in one of our outside kennels near the front door of our shelter. Piglet was wearing a collar but, unfortunately, there was neither an id tag nor a dog tag on his collar ... And he was not microchipped. No information was left with Piglet, so we don't know if someone found him as a stray or whether his owner left him with us for some unknown reason. Piglet has a white short smooth coat with beautiful red/brown ticking and a large brown patch on his right side, a long tail, and an adorable symmetrically-marked face with amber-colored eyes, a liver-colored nose, and large floppy ears. Piglet might possibly have some Pointer ancestors in his family tree since at first glance he appears to have physical traits of that breed .. But he never went 'on point' when HSOV Kennel Tech Bradyn Morris helped him with this photo session on the afternoon of February 3, 2024. Piggie was full of energy and ready for 'fun-and-games' or an extra-long walk instead of posing for boring still-life pictures, but he humored us with a few great poses. Piglet weighs 64.2 lbs and is strong on the other end of a leash. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Piglet was held for three days so that his family would have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership. Sadly, nobody called or came looking for this magnificent boy. We've learned that Piglet was actually left in the outside kennel by his family :( .. And his real name is Brutus. An individual who was a friend of the family provided information about Brutus. He is NOT good with children (especially when food is involved), and he is NOT good with cats since he will cause mortal harm to them. Piglet aka Brutus is tolerant of other dogs. He does best with those who tend to leave him alone and aren't 'in his face'. We had listed Piglet's age as being 2-3 years old when he was first posted. We learned later that he was older than we originally believed and was likely 8-years old when he was left at our shelter. Piglet would love to find a fabulous home with someone special (possibly as an ‘only child’). He will be neutered before an adoption is finalized but could be fostered while he is awaiting that procedure. Piglet was neutered on March 23, 2026 and was also given rabies vaccine.

Story
Jake is a sweet one-year old male (possible) Hound/Blue Heeler mix who was brought to the HSOV on October 14, 2024 by a Washington County Ohio Deputy Sheriff. Jake was found near the Dollar General Store in Belpre Ohio earlier that day and was taken into custody by the Belpre City Police in hopes that his owner could be located. Unfortunately Jake's family/owner was not found. This handsome boy was not wearing a collar, and he was not microchipped. Jake has a shiny black-and-tan coat with a beautiful patch of blue ticking on his chest, a long tail, and a cute face with dark brown eyes, a dusting of blue/white on his muzzle and a thin stripe on his forehead, and large floppy ears which frame his face. These photos were taken shortly after Jake made his debut at HSOV late in the afternoon on October 14th. Jake spent a little time relaxing in the lobby with HSOV Manager Tracy Lynn and soaked up some loving attention while he waited patiently for several 'wild and crazy' kittens to finish their photo session. Jake weighs 42 lbs and has a super sweet personality. He loved his people friends that he met but did NOT include cats in his circle of friends. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Jake will be held for three days so that his family will have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership. Since he was not reclaimed, Jake was neutered on January 13, 2025 and was also given rabies vaccine. Update: Jake (and HSOV Finley Marie) are currently at Boxers Bed & Biscuits in Belpre Ohio where they are enjoying an out-of-shelter 'vacation' thanks to the generosity of a group of dedicated HSOV volunteers/supporters. They are both available for adoption through HSOV. Jake returned to HSOV on June 20, 2025 and would love to find a loving home with someone special instead of being in shelter kennel after enjoying the freedom of being at Boxers Bed & Biscuits for several months.
