Story
I am Cocoa, a 4 year old German Shepherd. I was brought into The Shelter in September of 2025 because I was not treated well by my previous family. I am very social and friendly; I like my belly rubbed and to play fetch- my favorite toy is a squeaky ball. I am very smart and learn quickly and have been working on some basic commands and walking on a leash here. I like playing with other dogs and have some friends here, but for some other dogs my energy can be a lot, although I am good about entertaining myself and backing off, if another dog asks for space. I will need to be in a home where I can have plenty of exercise and fresh air with someone that has experience with my breed. I am very strong and don't know I don't fit in your lap, so I would not do well in a home with children under 10 years old. Although I like other dogs and playing with them I would do best being the only dog in the house.

Story
Krank is a magnificent 1-1/2 year old male German Shepherd who was brought to the HSOV on November 21st 2025 after he was picked up in Little Hocking Ohio by a Washington County Ohio Deputy Sheriff. Krank's apparent owner had apparently abandoned him. Krank has a black/tan/cream thick/dense coat, a long tail, and a beautiful classic German Shepherd face with dark brown eyes, black shading on his muzzle, and extra-large erect ears. This young man was understandably both nervous and frightened for the first several weeks he was in our shelter, and we completely understood and had the utmost empathy for Krank. Krank weighed a healthy 70 pounds when he entered our shelter in November 2025 (and likely weighs more these days), and he is energetic on a leash. These first photos of Krank were taken on November 24th in his kennel where he was most comfortable. Krank posed quietly and serenely like a professional model for Dog Fancy Magazine that day. Krank soon warmed up to our HSOV Kennel Techs, and he was especially fond of 'Santa Paws' (whom he immediately recognized as one of his favorite kennel techs Emma Dahlgren). Several of these photos were taken on December 24th 2025, and we captured several candid photos of Krank when he was kissing Santa Paws (smile). Krank recently enjoyed a social off-site adventure with HSOV Kennel Tech Liz Stingley and her colleagues when they visited Lowe's Home Improvement Store in Marietta Ohio. Krank thoroughly enjoyed meeting new people and did himself proud. He was presented with a special gift during his outing at Lowe's (a quacky stuffed duck toy) which he absolutely loved (we're not sure the stuffed duck felt the same since Krank was carrying him around in his mouth and shaking him around by his neck). Krank will be looking for a home with an individual who is an experienced handler with knowledge about the German Shepherd breed. Krank tends to be protective of his favorite people. He will be neutered before being officially adopted. Krank could be fostered while he is awaiting his neuter procedure with an approved HSOV Foster/Adoption Application. Update: Santa Paws has given Krank an unbiased endorsement which we will share with potential adopters: "Krank is such a good dog!! He’s the biggest baby!! I adore him! I love on him everyday that I’m there! He gives the best hugs!" When Santa Paws gives an endorsement like this, it truly means that Krank has been a very good boy and deserves the best home ever~ Who can you trust more than Santa Paws??

Story
Hazard is a handsome male German Shepherd who was brought to the HSOV on October 24, 2024 by the Washington County Ohio Dog Warden along with Moose (a male Mastiff) who had also shared his home. Hazard was approximately 9-years old at that time. He and Moose had been kept in safe-keeping custody. Both boys are now available for adoption since their owner surrendered Hazard and Moose to the dog warden/HSOV on September 3, 2025. Hazard has a blond medium-haired smooth coat, a long bushy tail, and a beautiful German Shepherd face with dark brown eyes, a slender muzzle, a chocolate brown nose, and extra-large erect ears. Hazard and Moose have shared a large suite in our Safe-Keeping Building since their arrival where they have access to a private outdoor 'patio'. His owner reported that Hazard is NOT good with cats. Hazard underwent surgery on January 15th 2025 for the removal of a couple of masses on his lower back. He was also neutered and given rabies vaccine while under anesthesia. Hazard is a fairly big boy who weighed 77 lbs on October 24, 2024. Hazard and Moose are being listed as a Bonded Pair since we feel that it it is their best interest to find another home together. These updated photos of Hazard were taken on September 28, 2025. Thanks to HSOV Volunteer Jennie Payton Sherrard for accompanying Hazard for more flattering outdoor photos. Since Hazard and Moose are so bonded with each other, Jennie and HSOV Volunteer Angel Grosklos teamed up to walk the boys together from their 'bachelor pad' in the Safe Haven Building so that they did not have to be separated from each other. Both Hazard and Moose have extra-friendly dispositions and super-sweet personalities. They were in 'seventh heaven' during their photo session and loved being showered with attention from Jennie and Angel. Their previous owner shared this information about Hazard and Moose: "They are amazing and sweet dogs!!! They love cuddles and treats!!! Hazard aka Hazzy is extremely scared of thunderstorms, loves raw green and red bell peppers, they both love watermelon. Hazard loves balls, and squeaky toys. Moose has one stuffed animal which he has loved all his life and you can get it at chewy, because it gets gross and will need replaced after being washed a hundred times. Hazard is a big talker, Moose is very laid back and quiet. They are quite the odd couple, but love each other dearly!!! They are the best dogs in the world!!!"
