Story

🚨 Stella has been abandoned, and she is currently living in a pen outside! She desperately needs to find a loving forever home where she can live out her golden years! Note that this dog is not being fostered by our organization, and we’re just posting her as a courtesy. A family member has been temporarily housing her outside, but obviously it’s too cold outside. She is accustomed to being an indoor dog, and due to age/health, the relative cannot care for the dog long-term. Stella is located in the Zanesville area. She is a female white pit mix. She is described as a very friendly and affectionate dog. She is about 6 years old, and she has been spayed. ⚠️ If you don’t have space for another dog, please help by sharing this post! 📧 Email karmawhitford@gmail.com or karmandrew@hotmail.com with any questions or to express interest.

Bonded Pair

Dorothy (Spayed)

Labrador Retriever

Female, Adult

Marietta, OH

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Story

Dorothy is a beautiful 2-year old female Labrador Retriever mix who was surrendered by her owner on December 26, 2025 along with her best friend Toto who had shared her home. Dorothy has a black short smooth coat with a large patch of white on her chest, cute black-and-white paws, rather long legs, a long tail, and a pretty face with dark brown eyes, a dusting of white on her long slender muzzle, and large floppy ears. Thanks to HSOV Volunteer Miley Kiggans for accompanying Dorothy for glamour photos in the shelter lobby on December 27th 2025. Dorothy was understandably a bit nervous being in an unfamiliar place after enjoying a home of her very own (and Dorothy was probably thinking "I've got a feeling Toto that we're not in Kansas anymore") .. but with Miley by her side Dorothy did her best to 'smile' for the camera and put on a happy face. Dorothy weighs 56 lbs. His owner told us that Dorothy is afraid of loud noises. Dorothy and Toto are very bonded with each other and need to stay together, so that will be a requirement for their adoptions. Dorothy has already been spayed. Toto will be neutered before being adopted by their new family.

Story

Lex is a 37 lb Velcro pup that was surrendered with her 'accidential' littermates. She is reported to be a Dalmatian/ English Springer Spaniel mix, but she is actually a Lovebug.Lex is a smart little girl with a DOB of 11/5/2024 and a prominent underbite.Lex is housetrained, keeps her crate tidy at night, great with kids/other dogs and was exposed to a cat at her previous Foster's home that she did not bother.Lex's main interest is her people. She can't get close enough when you sit on a couch and wants you in her sight at all time. (Although she also loves her Nala bones and drags them all out daily.)Lex is working on not jumping up to greet her people.Lex is 8 months old. She is spayed and up to date on vaccines.A fenced yard is preferred for Lex. We don't think she would do well with an invisible fence. Apply to meet Lex at Ricopetrecovery.org. The adoption fee for Lex is $250
