Sheldon (Neutered)

Labrador Retriever Pit Bull Terrier

Size

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

Details

Not good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Sheldon is a handsome 3-1/2 year old male Chocolate Labrador Retriever/Pit Bull Terrier mix who was brought to the HSOV on November 22, 2022 by the Washington County Ohio Dog Warden who picked him up on State Route 555 in the Cutler Ohio area. Sheldon was wearing an orange/silver reflective collar but there was neither an id tag nor a dog tag on his collar .. And he was not microchipped. Sheldon has a chocolate brown short smooth coat with a white bib on his neck/chest, a long tail, and an adorable face with expressive brown eyes, a milk chocolate nose, and short floppy ears . Sheldon has a friendly, easygoing personality and enjoyed his 15-minutes of fame when HSOV Humane Officer Fredley Tynan spent time with him for his outdoor photo session. There was an after-hours dog walk in progress, and Sheldon was very curious about other dogs that he saw being walked in the distant and seemed to want to make their acquaintance. He also 'perked up' when he saw cars being driven into the parking lot as though he expected his owner to coming to look for him. Sheldon appears to be housetrained. Sheldon weighs 59.4 lbs and walks fairly well on a leash. He has a slim trim physique and could easily carry a few more pounds. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Sheldon was held for three days so that his family would have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership. Since Sheldon was not reclaimed, he was neutered on January 11, 2023 and was also given rabies vaccine. Sheldon was adopted on March 25, 2023 but was returned a week or so later because he was nervous around babies (and perhaps with toddlers/small children) and shows his fear by growling, so we recommend that Sheldon be placed in a home with adults or older children. He is truly a fantastic lovable dog who will be a terrific companion with his new family. We've also learned that Sheldon does NOT do well with cats, so he should not be placed in a home where he would have contact with them. Sheldon appears to do ok with most other dogs.

Mountain Cur

Male, Young

Marietta, OH

Size

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

Details

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Vaughn is a cute one-year old male Mountain Cur mix who was brought to the HSOV on November 29, 2022 by a Good Samaritan who found him in the 400 Block of Fifth Street in Marietta Ohio. Vaughn was wearing a nice collar (with a matching leash attached) but, unfortunately, there was neither an id tag nor a dog tag on his collar to enable us to locate his family ... And he was not microchipped. Vaughn has a dark brown/brindle short smooth coat, a long tail, and an adorable face with black shading, expressive brown eyes, and short semi-erect ears. This young man has a happy, exuberant personality and is quite active. Vaughn loves to 'play nip' in an attempt to encourage anyone nearby to engage in some fun-and-games. HSOV Kennel Tech Olivia Moretto accompanied Vaughn outdoors late in the afternoon he arrived and indulged him in some playtime (much to his delight). Vaughn weighs 52 lbs and is energetic on a leash. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Vaughn will be held for three days so that his family will have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership. Since he was not reclaimed, Vaughn was neutered on February 14, 2023 and was also given rabies vaccine.

Story

Bambi is a beautiful 3-year old female Yellow Labrador Retriever/Shepherd mix who was surrendered by her owner to a Washington County Ohio Deputy Sheriff on September 9, 2022 who in turn brought her to the safety of our shelter. Bambi has a tan short smooth coat with a white blaze on her chest, white paws, a long tail, and a lovely serene-looking face with a black button nose and a long slender muzzle. Bambi has rather large ears which she holds erect. Bambi was understandably frightened after being brought to an unfamiliar place with people that she did not yet realize were her new best friends. Bambi was learning to trust our kennel techs and was willing to accompany HSOV Kennel Tech Zarah Strahler outdoors for glamour photos on the afternoon of September 11th when we took her original pictures. Bambi looked to Zarah for self-confidence and stayed as close to her as possible. Bambi weighed 48.4 lbs the day she arrived. She definitely needed to gain several pounds to fill out her slim trim physique, and it broke our hearts to see that every rib in her beautiful body was protruding. Fortunately for Bambi, one of our fantastic foster mothers offered her a temporary foster home on September 17, 2022 where she could enjoy the hospitality of a real home instead of a shelter kennel .. and where Bambi could receive extra TLC (and good nutritional food), extra loving, and the companionship of other dogs. Bambi was spayed on December 5, 2022 and was also given rabies vaccine. These updated photos of Bambi were taken on January 2, 2023 when her foster mother brought her back to HSOV for a visit. We were thrilled to see Bambi looking even more beautiful than when we saw her three months ago! Bambi is now at a healthy weight and weighs approximately 65-70 lbs. She walks fairly well on a leash and posed like a showgirl for HSOV Kennel Tech Alexis O'Brien who helped Bambi with glamour photos. Her foster mother gave us some terrific information about Bambi based upon her experience with her over the past three months which we want to share with potential adopters: Bambi gets along with other dogs, and she is quite playful (especially with Nigel a senior male dog that we are fostering over the holidays). Bambi is good with older children, but she will unintentionally knock young/smaller children down since Bambi doesn't pay attention when she is playing. Bambi tends to be protective of both her human family and canine family in her foster home. Bambi knows the 'sit' and 'down' commands. She has been kept indoors and is housebroken (and will use a doggy door to go outside to her fenced-in yard). Bambi LOVES toys!! Bambi prefers a slow introduction when it comes to meeting new people. She does not rush into a relationship. Her foster mother wanted potential adopters to know that Bambi does not have a good 'meet-and-greet' personality, but PLEASE do not judge Bambi on a first impression. When Bambi gains your trust, you couldn't ask for a more loving dog. It took Bambi a few days to warm up to her foster family, but she was soon giving kisses to them after she realized she could trust them to be kind and loving with her. We'd suggest a few meet-and-greet sessions with Bambi with proper introductions from her foster family and/or our HSOV kennel techs before she is fostered or adopted.

Sasha (Spayed)

Shepherd (Unknown Type)

Size

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Sasha is a beautiful 5-year old female Shepherd mix who was brought to the HSOV on April 24, 2023 and placed in an outside kennel. We believe that she was likely left in our care by her owner (or someone who was familiar with her) since there was a note left with her which gave a bit of information about Sasha. Sasha has a brown/dark tan short smooth coat with white/cream markings on her chest, a long tail, and a lovely face with dark brown eyes, black shading on her muzzle, and large erect ears. The note with Sasha which listed her name and age also had a short sentence saying that she was good with people .. but that she was not good with small dogs or cats. Thanks to HSOV Humane Officer Fredley Tynan for treating Sasha to some fresh air and extra TLC when she enjoyed her '15-minutes of fame' while she had her glamour photos taken. Sasha weighs 49.4 lbs. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Sasha was held for three days to give her family (if she was actually a stray) the opportunity to reclaim her with proof of ownership. Since Sasha was not reclaimed, she was spayed on June 20, 2023 and was also given rabies vaccine. Sasha has participated in several off-site events recently and has been a terrific goodwill ambassador for HSOV. Sasha has done well with other dogs (and is especially fond of a senior Shepherd mix named Bear. NOTE: Bear was adopted and went to a great home on December 15, 2023. UPDATE: Sasha was adopted on January 26, 2024 but came back to HSOV on March 28, 2024 (through really no fault of her own). Her new family reported that Sasha was a bit of an escape artist with athletic ability and was able to climb over the high fence in her new yard .. Unfortunately Sasha went over to an adjoining neighbor a few times (perhaps to introduce herself and to that family and their dog), but her visits were not welcomed. So for her own protection, her heartbroken adopter decided that she loved Sasha so much that she was willing to part with her in hopes that she would find a more perfect home. Sasha is housebroken. This little sweetheart is good with children as well as other dogs.

Story

Balto is a cute 1-1/2 year old male Pointer/American Pit Bull Terrier mix who was brought to the HSOV on July 17, 2023 by a Good Samaritan who found him at Buckeye Park in Marietta Ohio. Balto was not wearing collar, and he was not microchipped. This adorable young man has a snow white short smooth coat, long legs, a long tail, and an adorable mischievous-looking face with a dark brown eyes, a large black patch on the right-hand side of his face (in the style of the 'Phantom-of-the-Opera' mask), a black button nose, and large floppy ears. Balto is a happy, overgrown puppy who is full of playful energy. He was enthusiastically doing zoomies and running laps around HSOV Humane Officer Fredley Tynan and thoroughly enjoyed his 15-minutes of fame during his photo session on July 18th. After watching his speedy moves and fancy footwork, our photographer joked that Balto may be a wanna-be Greyhound. Balto weighs 52 lbs. He has already been neutered. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Balto will be held for three days so that his family will have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership.
