Story
Koko is a sweetheart. She is very timid. She is good with other dogs, cats and children. She is house broken and crate trained. Always up for petting and love. Terrified of a leash. She is 45 pounds and 2 years old. Koko is a great dog but I am on disability now and she deserves a more involved mom.

Story
ZuZu is a lovely 2-1/2 year old female (possible) Boxer/American Pit Bull Terrier mix who was brought to the HSOV on April 19, 2026 by a Good Samaritan who found her on State Route 555 in the Little Hocking Ohio area. ZuZu was wearing a collar but, unfortunately, there was neither an id tag nor a dog tag on her collar .. And she was not microchipped. ZuZu has a white short smooth coat, a long tail, and a beautiful face with hopeful innocent eyes, a black button nose, a square muzzle, and short floppy ears which are sprinkled with black spotting. This sweet girl has a friendly outgoing personality and loves attention. She appears to have had litters of puppies in her lifetime. ZuZu weighed 36 lbs when she entered our shelter and could easily gain several pounds to fill out her slim trim figure. ZuZu is fairly strong on a leash in spite of her size. These photos of ZuZu were taken on the afternoon of April 24th when HSOV Volunteer Jennie Sherrard accompanied her for outdoor glamour pictures. ZuZu was such a 'good girl' and looked so cute in her heart-covered pink bandana. She thoroughly enjoyed being the center of attention. ZuZu appears to be housetrained, so someone has surely loved ZuZu and cared about her. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, ZuZu was held for the mandatory three-day stray hold so that her family would have an opportunity to reclaim her with proof of ownership. Since nobody called or came looking for her, ZuZu can be fostered or fostered-to-adopt with an approved HSOV foster/adoption application. Since she was not reclaimed, ZuZu went home with a foster family on May 12, 2026 who offered her a fabulous temporary home so that she could enjoy the comfort of a nice home environment instead of being in a shelter kennel/floor crate. Her foster family reports that ZuZu is good with children and other dogs (and our HSOV staff/kennel techs feel that ZuZu is also good with cats). ZuZu is still available for adoption. Please complete/submit an HSOV foster/adoption application if you would like to meet ZuZu so that we may arrange a meet-and-greet with ZuZu and her foster family. Note: ZuZu was returned to HSOV by her foster family on May 30, 2026 for a happy reason (to meet a potential adopter). The meet-and-greet went extremely well, and ZuZu went home with another foster family on May 30th 2026 who planned to adopt her after she was spayed. Unfortunately, ZuZu was returned to HSOV by her foster-to-adopt family on June 26th 2026 because she and the resident dog in the home were not compatible with each other .. So her original foster mother took ZuZu back to her home where she is available for foster/adoption with an approved HSOV foster/adoption application. Update: ZuZu was spayed on July 20, 2026 and was also given rabies vaccine.

Story
Henry is a handsome 1-1/2 year old male Boxer/Terrier mix who was surrendered by his family on October 10, 2025. Henry was dearly loved by the family, but he had developed a bad habit of nipping/snapping at their children (and is the reason he was returned ..So we will a bit of Henry's background history with his current Petfinder/Facebook/Adoptapet listing: Henry made his original debut in our shelter when he was brought to the HSOV on July 1, 2024. Henry was an adorable 10-week old puppy at that time. Since there wasn't any location provided as to where he was found, it was unclear whether he was a stray or possibly an owner surrender. Henry had a brown short smooth coat, a long tail, and a cute puppy face with dark brown eyes, black shading on his chubby muzzle, and short floppy ears. Henry weighed 7.5 lbs on July 4th when he scampered across the floor scales. This little playboy had a happy, outgoing personality and loved attention more than anything else in the world. Henry had typical puppy behavior and was always looking for mischief to get into during the chewing stage of his young life. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Henry was held for three days so that his family would have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership. Since nobody called or came looking for this baby boy, Henry went home with a foster family on July 24, 2024 who planned to adopt him after he was neutered (a requirement for HSOV adoptions to be finalized). Henry was neutered on October 1, 2024 and was also given rabies vaccine. He was adopted by his foster family later that afternoon. Henry enjoyed one-year+ in his adoptive home and was very much loved by the family. But when Henry began nipping/snapping at the children, they made the difficult decision to return him so that he could find a more appropriate home. These updated photos of Henry were taken on October 11th 2025 when HSOV Volunteer Hannah MClain and HSOV Shelter Manager Tracy Lynn accompanied him for outdoor pictures. Henry has matured into a magnificent young man. He has a stunning tan short smooth coat, a long tail, and a beautiful chubby Boxer/Terrier face with brown 'teddy bear' eyes, a black button nose, and short semi-erect ears. Henry had not yet stepped on the scales for a weigh-in when these photos were taken, but an estimate would be that he weighs 60 lbs or so. Henry is very strong on a leash. He quickly obeyed the 'sit' command for several of his photos. Henry would likely benefit from some obedience/training classes and perhaps an experienced 'alpha' person to help him reach his full potential. Henry is a good dog who needs a little assistance to become the best dog (smile).
