Border Collie

Details
Not good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Oliver is a handsome 2-year 9-month old male Border Collie mix who was surrendered by his owner on August 14th 2026. 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. This good-looking boy may look familiar to many of our HSOV volunteers and Facebook followers since Oliver originally came to our shelter on November 13th 2025 after he was found on State Route 339 in the Vincent Ohio area. These original photos were taken on November 14th 2025 when HSOV Volunteer Jennie Payton Sherrard accompanied Oliver for outdoor photos. When we walked back into the shelter, 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. Oliver went home with a foster family on December 7, 2025 who planned to adopt him after he was neutered but, unfortunately, he was returned on March 24, 2026 because the foster family was unable to keep him. They reported that Oliver would do best without young kids in his home. Oliver is housetrained. Oliver was neutered on February 19, 2026. He weighs approximately 45 lbs and is housetrained. We were thrilled when Oliver was adopted late in the afternoon on June 14th 2026 .. But heartbroken again when Oliver was returned on August 14th 2026. Apparently Oliver was nippy with his adoptive 'Dad', and he was selective about whom he felt comfortable with. His adoptive family also shared that Oliver was frightened of super-hyper children and loud chaotic environments, so Oliver is looking to find a loving home with a family or individual who has a quiet, stress-free lifestyle. Oliver is good with other dogs. We don't know yet how he feels about cats. Oliver has exhibited 'resource guarding' behavior but it wasn't clear when he guarded food or toys/possessions. We look forward to taking updated outdoor photos of Oliver when the monsoon rains and thunderstorms stop moving through the mid-Ohio Valley.

Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
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 sessions. Jake weighs 42 lbs and has a super sweet personality. Since he was not reclaimed, Jake was neutered on January 13, 2025 and was also given rabies vaccine. Jake enjoyed an extended out-of-shelter 'vacation' at Boxers Bed & Biscuits from mid-March 2025 to mid-June 2025 thanks to the generosity of a group of dedicated HSOV volunteers/supporters. Jake returned to HSOV on June 20, 2025 and has enjoyed his own private “bachelor’s pad/man cave” in a spacious room adjacent to the shelter lobby. If you have been in our shelter, you have most likely heard Jake making his own excitement by pushing his stainless steel bowl around like an imaginary ice hockey puck. .. And we must say that he is quite an accomplished player. Jake is good with his adult people friends, but he is not good with cats or young children. Jake is dog selective and picks/chooses which dogs he gets along with. We are including several of Jake’s favorite toys/activities in his description (thanks to HSOV Volunteers Miley Kiggans and Levi Emil de Leeuw who are the co-Presidents of Jake’s Fan Club). Jake is a 'smaller little firecracker' (we LOVED Levi's cute description of Jake!!) with lots of love to give to his people friends. Jake is full of playful energy and is surprising good on a leash when he is outside the shelter. Jake loves water puddles/ponds as witnessed by Miley Kiggans when she accompanied him on an off-site walk during a rainy afternoon. Jake also loves peanut butter, pig ears, rope toys and stuffed toys (not necessarily in that order). We all agree that Jake is a totally different dog when you are with him outside the shelter .. Like many dogs, Jake's shelter presence does not represent his true character. Jake's 'ice hockey playtime with his stainless-steel bowl does not define his personality/behavior out of his 'bachelor's pad/man cave' residence. Jake has a sweet personality He isn’t a very big dog when you see him in person (less than 50 lbs). Jake is currently about 2-1/2 years old and has now spent the majority of his life with us. Jake would love to find a home with his special person/soulmate who would give him the love, playtime, and companionship which he is longing for.

Story
Jackal is a handsome one-year old male Australian Shepherd/Husky mix who was brought to the HSOV on August 20th 2026 by an individual who found him on State Route 821 (between Interstate-77 and State Route 60 in Washington County Ohio). Jackal was accompanied by his companions (Badger and Puma) who are surely his siblings. All three of the boys were wearing a collar, but there was neither an ID tag nor a dog license tag on their collars ... And they were not microchipped. Jackal has a tan-and-cream medium/longhaired coat with subtle black shading, a long extra fluffy tail, and a beautiful Shepherd/Husky tan face with a white stripe on his forehead, a black button nose, a white ring around his slender muzzle, and large erect ears. Jackal's left eye is pale blue while his right eye is brown. Jackal and his relatives all have incredible extra-fluffy tails (the largest fluffiest tails we've ever seen by far .. almost as if they were sporting hair extensions to enhance the length and volume of their tails) (smile). But we can vouch for the boys and report that their tails are indeed natural with no fake extensions. Thanks to HSOV Volunteer Jennie Sherrard for accompanying Jackal for his outdoor photo session. Jackal posed beautifully and was careful to make eye contact with the camera so that everyone could see his stunning eye colors. He gave Jennie several nice hugs while still gazing at the camera. Jackal weighs 36.5 lbs. He did fairly well walking on a leash and was happy when Jennie took him for a short walk after he was finished with his glamour shots. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Jackal and his siblings will be held for the mandatory three-day stray hold so that their family will have an opportunity to reclaim them with proof of ownership.

Piglet aka Piggie (RN Brutus)

Cattle Dog Pit Bull Terrier

Male, Adult
Marietta, OH
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
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. Update 7/28/2026: Please note that Piglet is dog selective and picks/chooses which dogs he will get along with.
