Story
Bruiser is a sweet one-year old male Chihuahua mix who arrived at HSOV on January 7, 2026 when a Good Samaritan found him on State Route 550 in the Marietta Ohio and brought Bruiser to the safety of our shelter. Bruiser has a black short smooth coat, rather long legs, a long tail, and an adorable face with classic Chihuahua features including a teeny tiny slender muzzle and large ears which he holds erect when he chooses to do so. Bruiser weighs 14.2 lbs and walks fairly well on a leash. These photos were taken on January 12, 2026 when HSOV Kennel Tech Emily Beaver accompanied Bruiser for outdoor pictures. Bruiser loved playtime/attention from Emily, and also enjoyed being carried in Emily's arms when Bruiser was returned to his large floor crate. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Bruiser was held for the mandatory three-day stray hold so that his family would have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership. Sadly nobody called or came looking for this little fellow. Bruiser will be neutered before being adopted by his new family (a requirement for HSOV adoptions to be finalized).. Bruiser could be fostered while he awaits his neuter procedure so that he could enjoy a real home environment instead of shelter floor crate. Please complete an HSOV foster/adoption application and submit for approval if you would like to offer Bruiser a terrific home. Update: Bruiser was neutered on January 19, 2026 and was also given rabies vaccine.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Welcome Ellie Christmas to DASH! This lovely little girl came to DASH with her friend Mini Claus when they were abandoned in a burnt down drug house. Luckily some kind neighbors were feeding them, but it was no place for small girls to be. So they made their way to us where they will never know that kind of life again. Ellie is a very sweet, loving girl, who is pretty laid back. She enjoys napping in a big comfy dog bed, and watching all the other doggie antics in her current foster home. She is still a little shy upon meeting new people, but warms up quickly once she knows you are there to love her. She is working on her potty training, crate training and walking on a leash, so her new family will need to continue helping her on that journey. She loves other dogs, is fine around cats, but has not been kid tested. She would be great for a senior or family alike and is ready to find her forever home.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Introducing Lazy Daisy! This small little chi girl came to DASH with several other small dogs when their owner went into a nursing home and could no longer care for them. She is a very sweet, little girl, but is a little shy upon meeting new people, but warms up very quickly, once she knows you. She loves sleeping in bed with her foster mom and dad and enjoys playing with the other dogs in the house. She is working on her crate training, potty training and leash training as she has never known any of those things in her previous home. She is ok with cats, but no small kids for this girl. She would be a great companion for a senior or family with older kids.  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.December 16, 2025, 8:59 pm

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Welcome Shaggy to DASH! This sweet boy came to DASH with several other small dogs who had been living outside. No place for a small dog like Shaggy. He is currently in our DASH Prison Training Program where his handler has said he loves all people and has never met a stranger, he loves all the other female dogs, but is a little selective with male dogs. He is crate trained, potty trained in the prison setting, and walks well on a leash. He is very sociable and likes a good snuggle session. He is a little bit of a picky eater and likes to have his dry kibble softened with a bit of water before he'll eat it! This boy would be great for a senior looking for a moderately active boy or a family who wants to have a young dog who has already gone through the puppy phase and is ready to be a great family addition for years to come.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Meet Jasmine and Lady Gray! This bonded pair of sisters came to DASH from southern Ohio when their elderly owner had to go into nursing care and could not take them with them. They are truly the sweetest, most loving dogs ever! They just want to be with you and give you kisses all the time. Jasmine is the more outgoing of the 2, but Lady Gray is never far away and once she sees Jasmine getting the attention, she will move her way right in so she isn't left out! They are crate trained, pee pad trained (working on going outside to potty on a schedule) and working on their leash manners in their current foster home. They do get along with the other small dogs in their foster home, but truly would be perfectly content to be someone's only 2 since they get along with each other perfectly. They have not been kid or cat tested. If you are ready for double the loving, then these 2 are ready for you too!
