Story
I'm River, a striking 4-year-old brown and white Collie-Australian Shepherd mix, and I've got the energy to match my good looks! 🐕 I'm friendly, smart, and full of enthusiasm — but I need an active household where I can burn off steam throughout the day, ideally with other dogs and plenty of open space to romp around. I do best with teenage children or older (no little ones under 10, please), and I'm a bit mouthy when excitement takes over, so I'll need someone willing to work with me on that. If you're ready for an energetic, affectionate companion who'll keep up with your active lifestyle, let's meet! 💪❤️

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.

Story
Dog's Name: Bosa Gender: Male Current Age: 7 Current Weight: 90 lbs Breed: German Shepherd/Border Collie mix Energy Level: Low-Medium Dog Friendly: Yes, and can have other dogs in the home or can be an only dog. Cat Friendly: Unknown Kids: Yes Apartment Friendly: Yes Fence Requirements: Physical fence preferred but not required with regular walks/exercise. Crate Trained: Doesn't need to be crated Potty Trained: Yes Joey Bosa (aka Bosa) may be 7 years old, but someone forgot to tell him he’s supposed to act his age. He still loves to play, snuggle, and generally be involved in everything you’re doing. This handsome big guy has the Shepherd protective instinct and the movie-star beauty of a Bernese Mountain Dog. Basically, he looks like he should be guarding the castle, but he’d rather be on the couch cuddling with you. Bosa is incredibly gentle with his much-smaller foster sisters and has been wonderful around young children. He loves watching the little humans, snuggling his toys, and chewing on a good bone like it’s his full-time job.  And when Joey is happy? THE WHOLE BOOTY WIGGLES. He’s the sweetest big guy you’ll ever meet—gentle, playful, loving, loyal, and ready to find his forever family. If you’re looking for a giant cuddlebug with a heart just as big as his body, Joey Bosa is your guy.  All fees include spay/neuter, microchip, vaccinations, deworming, and the dog will be current on flea, tick, and heartworm preventatives. All dogs over 6 months of age have been tested and are heartworm negative. ##911123##
