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.

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).
