Boxer

Female, Adult
Marietta, OH
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Sophie is a beautiful 2-year old female Boxer mix who was brought to the HSOV on October 7, 2025 by a Marietta Ohio City Police Officer who had picked her up in the 400 block on Eighth Street in Marietta Ohio. Sophie was wearing a collar but there was neither an id tag or license tag on her collar .. And she was not microchipped. Sophie has a dark brown/brindle-and-white short smooth coat, a long tail, and an adorable face with dark brown eyes, a splash of white on her muzzle, a narrow white stripe on her forehead, and large floppy ears. This little sweetheart has a friendly disposition and an affectionate personality. Sophie weighs 58 lbs and walks fairly well on a leash. These photos were taken late in the afternoon on October 18th when HSOV Lead Canine Kennel Tech Emily Beaver accompanied Sophie for outdoor glamour pictures. The sky was beginning to cloud over in anticipation of an impending rain storm, so the lighting was not conducive to showing off the true color of Sophie's gorgeous brindle coat .. We will take more flattering photos of Sophie if she is not reclaimed, but we really really hope that Sophie's family will see her photos on our Facebook pages and know that she is safely in our shelter. Sophie misses her very own house/family and would love to go back home again. Sophie was spayed on December 15, 2025 and was also given rabies vaccine.

Story
Bolt is an adorable 3-year old male Boxer/Labrador Retriever (??) mix who was brought to the HSOV late in the afternoon on August 19, 2024 by the Washington County Ohio Dog Warden who had picked him up in the vicinity of the Kiwanis Club (Gilman Avenue in Marietta Ohio). Bolt was not wearing a collar, and he was not microchipped. This good-looking guy has a snow white coat, a patch of brown at the base of his long tail, and a beautiful face with soulful brown eyes, a black button nose on his cute long muzzle, and extra-large floppy ears. Bolt has a super sweet disposition and happy, outgoing 'Type A' personality. Bolt adored being the center of attention when we took preliminary photos in the shelter lobby shortly after his arrival. This little sweetheart was a pushover for attention when HSOV Executive Director Amy Rogers spent time with him (and HSOV Kennel Tech Rachel Elizabeth offered him 'good boy' treats). Bolt appeared to have been accustomed to spending leisure time on a comfy sofa since he was quick to take the initiative to sit on HSOV Volunteer Wendy Jo Irvin's lap. Bolt is a wanna-be lap dog. Bolt weighs 31.8 lbs and could easily gain a few pounds to fill out his slim trim physique. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Bolt will be held for three days so that his family will have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership. Note: We've learned that Bolt is NOT good with cats. Bolt went home with a foster family on October 22, 2024 who plans to adopt him after he is neutered. Bolt was neutered by the foster family's veterinarian, and he was officially adopted by his foster family on November 19, 2024. Update: Bolt was picked up near the Washington Street Bridge in Marietta Ohio on April 11, 2025 by the Marietta Police Department and brought to HSOV. Fortunately Bolt had a microchip, and we were able to contact his adopted family and he was placed on a 14-day hold for them. Sadly, his family decided to surrender him back to our shelter instead of reclaiming him .. So Bolt is looking for a new family who will love/cherish him forever and ever. He is such a good boy!! Bolt weighed 52 lbs when he entered the shelter on April 11, 2025. Bolt went home with a foster family on May 27, 2025 who plans to adopt him if all goes well. Unfortunately Bolt was returned by his foster family on May 28th 2025. Update: Bolt went home with a foster family on July 27, 2025 who offered him the hospitality of a real home environment while he waits for his forever home (so that he doesn't have to be in a shelter kennel). Bolt is still available for adoption. If you would like to meet Bolt, please complete/submit an HSOV adoption application so that we may arrange a meet-and-greet with your family.
