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!!!"

Story
We adopted Max about 3 years ago, he is now 6 years old. He has one pale blue eye and one gold. He's very pretty, smart, funny, sweet and loving. He's a little intimidated of men at first, and takes a minute to warm up, but once he does, your his friend and once he trusts you he is loyal. He loves to go for walks and car rides. He loves to be around people, so he has anxiety about being separated, and can get into mischief. He is fixed, house trained and he will be okay for short periods in a crate. He loves to run and play, it's important for him. He does have food sensitivities to gluten, beef and dairy. We would love to see him find a home with a loving family. He would love a yard to stretch his legs and kids to play with, or a single person or young couple who has time, and love for him.

Story
Meet Loki 🐾 Loki is a 3-year-old German Shepherd / Australian Cattle Dog (Blue Heeler) mix with a gentle heart and a sweet, affectionate personality. He can be a little shy when first meeting new people, but once he feels comfortable, his loving side really shines. Loki has spent his life as an outdoor dog, so he’ll need a patient home willing to help him learn how to be an indoor companion — including house manners, routines, and basic obedience. With consistency and kindness, he has so much potential to blossom. His previous owner says he is wonderful with children. However, Loki would do best in a home without cats. Loki loves other dogs. And would love to have a canine sibling. Like most of his breed mix, Loki has plenty of energy and will thrive with regular exercise, mental enrichment, and continued training. He’s a smart boy who’s ready to learn and eager to please — he just needs someone to give him a chance.

Story
Meet Thor 🐾 Thor is a 3-year-old German Shepherd / Australian Cattle Dog (Blue Heeler) mix who is as sweet as he is handsome. He may be a bit shy at first, but once he warms up, he becomes a very affectionate and loyal companion. Having lived as an outdoor dog, Thor will need a home that can offer patience and guidance as he learns what it means to live indoors — from house training to everyday manners and structure. He’s a good boy who simply hasn’t had the opportunity to learn yet. According to his previous owner, Thor does great with children. He will need a home without cats. We are currently unsure how Thor does with other dogs, but he will be heading out to play groups soon. His bio will be updated once we learn more. Thor is energetic, intelligent, and eager to stay busy, just as you’d expect from his breed mix. Daily exercise, enrichment, and obedience training will help him thrive and build confidence.
