Story
Precious is a 2-1/2 year old female American Pit Bull Terrier mix who was brought to the HSOV on April 9, 2025 and placed in one of our outdoor kennels during the overnight hours. The individual(s) who left her there did not leave any information about her (or call the Washington County Ohio Sheriff's Department), so we don't know if she was an owner surrender or a stray. Precious was covered in fleas when we found her, so she immediately was given a nice soothing bath and received Nexguard treatment. She also had sparse hair (most likely due to a severe allergy or demodectic/non-contagious mange). Precious was a healthy weight (62 lbs) when she arrived on April 9th We posted a preliminary photo of Precious on our HSOV Facebook pages in hopes that someone would recognize her, but nobody called or came looking for her. Precious has a brown-and-white coat, a long tail, and a beautiful symmetrically-marked face with dark brown eyes, a liver-colored nose, and short floppy ears. These updated pictures of Precious were taken on May 8, 2025 when HSOV Volunteer Jennie Sherrard spent time with Precious during her photo session for her Petfinder/Facebook/Adoptapet debut. As with many dogs, Precious does not have a good 'kennel presence' (and is quite vocal) but when she is out of her floor crate/kennel she is a completely different dog. Precious loved attention from Jennie and our photographer while she posed for her first 'glamour photos'. Precious' fur is beginning to grow back in and she looks like a different girl than the one we first met on April 9th. We will plan on another photo session in a few weeks to show her progress, and we hope that potential adopters can envision her future appearance. It was touching to see Precious watching another dog being fostered-to-adopt and hopping it her new owner's car .. It was as if Precious were envisioning the day that this could be her going to a home of her very own. Precious will be spayed before she is officially adopted. She could be fostered while she awaits her spay procedure with an approved HSOV adoption/foster application. Update: Precious was spayed on July 16, 2025 and was also given rabies vaccine. She weighed 63.9 lbs that day. Precious went home with a foster family on March 7, 2026 who offered her the hospitality of their home so that she could enjoy a real home environment 24/7 instead of being in a noisy shelter kennel. Precious will be treated like royalty while her foster family pampers/spoils her and gives her publicity on Facebook in order to help her find a fabulous home. If you are interested in offering Precious a forever home, please complete/submit an HSOV Adoption Application so that we may arrange an appointment with her wonderful foster family for you to meet this special girl.

Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Spice is a handsome 2-1/2 year old male American Pit Bull Terrier mix who was found on Colegate Drive in Marietta Ohio around 10:30am on the morning of October 31, 2023. Fortunately for Spice, a Good Samaritan was able to persuade him to accompany her to the safety of our shelter and away from the busy road where he was roaming around. Spice was not wearing a collar, and he was not microchipped. Spice has a dark brown/brindle-and-white short smooth coat, a long tail, and a beautiful symmetrically-marked face with dark brown eyes, a dark chocolate nose, and short floppy ears. This big boy was understandably very nervous when he was brought to the HSOV. It broke our hearts to see how scared and terrified he truly was. Our compassionate staff and kennel techs are doing their best to calm his fears and to help him realize he is among friends who care about him. These photos of Spice were taken after hours on the evening of October 31, 2023 when HSOV Executive Director Amy Rogers and HSOV Volunteer/Board Member Tracy Lynn Moore teamed up to spend time with Spice and to accompany him for a short walk in order to begin gaining his trust. Our photographer stayed a safe distance away and snapped his pictures 'from afar' so as not to make Spice nervous or feel that he was being pursued. Spice is a friendly boy but tends to be reactive. Spice weighs 55 lbs and has already been neutered. We hope that someone will recognize this boy and help us reunite him with his family. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Spice was held for three days so that his family would have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership. Sadly, nobody called or came looking for Spice.

This big boy was understandably very nervous when he was brought to the HSOV, and it broke our hearts to see how scared and terrified he truly was. Our compassionate staff and kennel techs have worked their magic with Spice over the past few months, and they have managed to calm his fears and to help him realize he is among friends who care about him and love him unconditionally. These updated photos of Spice were taken on March 25, 2024 when HSOV Kennel Tech Hannah McClain spent quality time with him on a bright sunny afternoon. Spice casually meandered around our photo area but always stayed close to Hannah and looked to her for moral support, comfort, and security. Spice has a friendly, rather cautious personality and prefers not to rush into a relationship. Hannah wanted to let potential adopters that Spice is a sweet dog who just takes a few minutes to warm up to new people that he doesn't yet know, so please don't judge him based upon his kennel presence. Spice was a pushover for 'good boy' treats' and waited patiently until Hannah told him it was ok to take the small treats .. And then Spice gently took them from Hannah's hand. Spice weighs 55 lbs and has already been neutered. We kept hoping that someone would recognize Spice and help us reunite him with his family, but that happy reunion has not taken place. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Spice was held for three days so that his family would have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership. Sadly, nobody called or came looking for Spice. Our HSOV Kennel Techs would love to introduce you to Spice and tell you about all of his good qualities and share their experience taking care of him these past six months.
