Jack (Neutered)

American Bulldog

Male, Senior
Marietta, OH
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Jack is a handsome 12-year old male Bulldog who was surrendered by his original owner on August 2, 2023 because he/she was unable to contain him. Jack has a tan-and-white short smooth coat, a tiny docked tail, and an adorable symmetrically-marked face with black shading around his eyes, a black button nose on his cute muzzle, and short floppy ears. His original owner told us that Jack was good with other dogs, but we've learned that he is selective about the dogs he gets along with. Jack does NOT do well with cats and should not be placed in a home with cats or where he would have any contact with them. Jack has had encounters in the past which did not end well for the cat(s). Jack loves his people friends and would love to find a home where he could be an 'only child'. Jack has been kept indoors and is house-trained. This sweet guy defies his chronological age and he obviously believes that 'age is just a number' .. Jack was full of playful energy when HSOV Kennel Tech Rachel Elizabeth accompanied him for updated photos on April 1st 2024. Jack loved attention from Rachel while showing off his personality and physique. Jack weighs 60 lbs and is fairly strong on a leash. Jack has already been neutered, so he could leave our shelter immediately with an approved HSOV adoption application. He could also be fostered with an approved HSOV Adoption/Foster application. Update: Jack was adopted on July 5, 2024 but came back to our shelter in mid-August 2024 since he did not get along with the family's dog. Jack is now a 14-year old 'senior citizen'. Jack would love to find a home with someone special where he could spend his golden years as an 'only child'. Jack went home with a foster family on August 16, 2025 so that he could enjoy a real home environment instead of spending his days/nights alone in a small shelter kennel. Jack is still available for adoption and would love to find a forever home where he could spend his golden years being spoiled 24/7 by a special someone.

Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Carrie (aka Bullit) is a beautiful 2-1/2 year old female American Bulldog mix who was surrendered by her family on January 3, 2026. Carrie has a tan short smooth coat with a large white bib on her chest, rather short legs with white paws on her front bowed legs, a long tail, and an adorable tan/white face with brown 'teddy bear' eyes, a milk chocolate/blue nose, and short semi-erect ears. Her family told us that Carrie is very affectionate and loves attention. She does best with women and tends to be protective of her 'person' .. But Carrie is not protective of her food. Carrie has been kept indoors and is housetrained. Carrie is selective about which dogs she accepts into her circle of friends. Carrie is frightened of thunder/loud noises.. And she sees an open door as an opportunity to take an adventurous run. Carrie weighs approximately 40-45 lbs. She is great on a leash and loves to take walks. This little beauty may look familiar to many of our HSOV Volunteers/Facebook fans since Carrie originally came to our shelter in early October 2024 after she had been in the Little Hocking Ohio area for at least a month and was befriended by several compassionate individuals who were very worried about her safety. Those kind ladies banded together to keep her safe (and to make sure she had food/water) .. with the end goal of gaining her trust and letting them rescue her. She was nearly apprehended several times but was a bit too wary/cautious and would quickly go into flight mode. But those ladies were very patient (and determined) to take her into 'custody' but also used good common sense/judgment. The Good Samaritans who had admired Carrie from afar were eventually able to get close to her (thanks to their own dogs whom Carrie befriended) and were gradually able to pet her. They reported that Carrie absolutely loved other dogs as well as children ... And neighbors who had kept an eye out for sightings of Carrie reported that she appeared to be ok with cats and never made any attempt to chase/harm them. As might be expected, Carrie is an escape artist who can easily find a way to slip away from a fenced-in backyard. Their patience paid off and one of the Good Samaritans was able to persuade this little waif into jumping in her car on October 3rd (with the assistance of her dog who made friends with Carrie and must have signaled that she was safe with them). Contact was made with the Sheriff's Department who provided transport to our shelter where our HSOV Kennel Techs continued to give her the care and love that she deserved. These photos of Carrie were taken on the afternoon on October 4, 2024 when HSOV Kennel Tech Emily Beaver accompanied her for outdoor photos. This little sweetheart had a super-sweet disposition and loved attention more than anything else in the world. Carrie weighs 41 lbs but doesn't have the appearance of a very large dog when you see her in person. She is rather short and full-figured (meant in the most complimentary way since she is simply perfect). She doesn't appear to have had any leash training but with a little encouragement from Emily Beaver, Carrie had the courage to walk outdoors for her photo session. She was reluctant to walk back to the shelter on a leash, but she was very happy to be carried back indoor Emily's arms like a very big baby. If you look closely at several of those pictures, Carrie was giving Emily some terrific 'puppy kisses'. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Carrie was held for three days so that her family would have an opportunity to reclaim her with proof of ownership. Since Carrie was not reclaimed, she went home with a foster family on October 7, 2024. Carrie was spayed on October 17, 2024, and she was officially adopted by her foster family on November 18, 2024. We look forward to taking updated photos Carrie as weather permits ... But we wanted to share her previous pictures and background story asap so that potential adopters would know that Carrie (aka Bullit) is in our shelter and is looking for another great home. Her family was very sad to have to return Carrie and has sponsored her adoption fee in hopes that she will quickly find another loving home.

Story
Hello! My name is Pepper! I have been here since November of 2025. I was found as a stray and was very skinny when I first arrived, I had to be put on a special feeding plan to get healthy again. I've gotten much healthier, bigger, and stronger since then. I have learned lots of new things while I've been here: I learned I love stuffed toys and treats! I also like playing tug, meeting new people, and other dogs. I also learned I do not like cats. Now that I've got a new leash on life, I do everything at 100%! I'm very enthusiastic and happy-go-lucky, I want to explore and say hi to everyone! As such, sometimes I do need a firm reminder to mind my manners and greet and play politely. I learn quickly, and I can't wait to get my own person where I can learn more!

Bolt (Neutered)

Boxer Labrador Retriever

Male, Adult
Marietta, OH
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Bolt is an adorable 3-year old male Boxer/Labrador Retriever (??) mix who was brought to the HSOV late in the afternoon on August 19, 2024 by the Washington County Ohio Dog Warden who had picked him up in the vicinity of the Kiwanis Club (Gilman Avenue in Marietta Ohio). Bolt was not wearing a collar, and he was not microchipped. This good-looking guy has a snow white coat, a patch of brown at the base of his long tail, and a beautiful face with soulful brown eyes, a black button nose on his cute long muzzle, and extra-large floppy ears. Bolt has a super sweet disposition and happy, outgoing 'Type A' personality. Bolt adored being the center of attention when we took preliminary photos in the shelter lobby shortly after his arrival. This little sweetheart was a pushover for attention when HSOV Executive Director Amy Rogers spent time with him (and HSOV Kennel Tech Rachel Elizabeth offered him 'good boy' treats). Bolt appeared to have been accustomed to spending leisure time on a comfy sofa since he was quick to take the initiative to sit on HSOV Volunteer Wendy Jo Irvin's lap. Bolt is a wanna-be lap dog. Bolt weighs 31.8 lbs and could easily gain a few pounds to fill out his slim trim physique. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Bolt will be held for three days so that his family will have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership. Note: We've learned that Bolt is NOT good with cats. Bolt went home with a foster family on October 22, 2024 who plans to adopt him after he is neutered. Bolt was neutered by the foster family's veterinarian, and he was officially adopted by his foster family on November 19, 2024. Update: Bolt was picked up near the Washington Street Bridge in Marietta Ohio on April 11, 2025 by the Marietta Police Department and brought to HSOV. Fortunately Bolt had a microchip, and we were able to contact his adopted family and he was placed on a 14-day hold for them. Sadly, his family decided to surrender him back to our shelter instead of reclaiming him .. So Bolt is looking for a new family who will love/cherish him forever and ever. He is such a good boy!! Bolt weighed 52 lbs when he entered the shelter on April 11, 2025. Bolt went home with a foster family on May 27, 2025 who plans to adopt him if all goes well. Unfortunately Bolt was returned by his foster family on May 28th 2025. Update: Bolt went home with a foster family on July 27, 2025 who offered him the hospitality of a real home environment while he waits for his forever home (so that he doesn't have to be in a shelter kennel). Bolt is still available for adoption. If you would like to meet Bolt, please complete/submit an HSOV adoption application so that we may arrange a meet-and-greet with your family.

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Henry is a handsome 1-1/2 year old male Boxer/Terrier mix who was surrendered by his family on October 10, 2025. Henry was dearly loved by the family, but he had developed a bad habit of nipping/snapping at their children (and is the reason he was returned ..So we will a bit of Henry's background history with his current Petfinder/Facebook/Adoptapet listing: Henry made his original debut in our shelter when he was brought to the HSOV on July 1, 2024. Henry was an adorable 10-week old puppy at that time. Since there wasn't any location provided as to where he was found, it was unclear whether he was a stray or possibly an owner surrender. Henry had a brown short smooth coat, a long tail, and a cute puppy face with dark brown eyes, black shading on his chubby muzzle, and short floppy ears. Henry weighed 7.5 lbs on July 4th when he scampered across the floor scales. This little playboy had a happy, outgoing personality and loved attention more than anything else in the world. Henry had typical puppy behavior and was always looking for mischief to get into during the chewing stage of his young life. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Henry was held for three days so that his family would have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership. Since nobody called or came looking for this baby boy, Henry went home with a foster family on July 24, 2024 who planned to adopt him after he was neutered (a requirement for HSOV adoptions to be finalized). Henry was neutered on October 1, 2024 and was also given rabies vaccine. He was adopted by his foster family later that afternoon. Henry enjoyed one-year+ in his adoptive home and was very much loved by the family. But when Henry began nipping/snapping at the children, they made the difficult decision to return him so that he could find a more appropriate home. These updated photos of Henry were taken on October 11th 2025 when HSOV Volunteer Hannah MClain and HSOV Shelter Manager Tracy Lynn accompanied him for outdoor pictures. Henry has matured into a magnificent young man. He has a stunning tan short smooth coat, a long tail, and a beautiful chubby Boxer/Terrier face with brown 'teddy bear' eyes, a black button nose, and short semi-erect ears. Henry had not yet stepped on the scales for a weigh-in when these photos were taken, but an estimate would be that he weighs 60 lbs or so. Henry is very strong on a leash. He quickly obeyed the 'sit' command for several of his photos. Henry would likely benefit from some obedience/training classes and perhaps an experienced 'alpha' person to help him reach his full potential. Henry is a good dog who needs a little assistance to become the best dog (smile).

Female, Adult
Marietta, OH
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Lucy is a beautiful 2-year old female Boxer mix who was brought to the HSOV on January 30, 2024 by a Washington County Ohio Deputy Sheriff who picked Lucy up (and also her good-looking brother Duke) after they were found on Dana's Run Road in the Newport Ohio area. Lucy has a black-and-white short smooth coat with an intriguing pattern, a long tail, and an adorable face with a large black "pirate's patch" around her left eye, a black button nose on her chubby muzzle, and short floppy ears. Lucy has a vivacious outgoing personality and was ready for 'action photos' when HSOV Kennel Tech Bradyn Morris accompanied her for outdoor glamour photos on the afternoon of February 3, 2024. Lucy weighs 47.3 lbs and is surprisingly very strong on a leash since she isn't a very big girl when you see her in person. Lucy has already been spayed and was given rabies vaccine on February 14, 2023. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Lucy was held for three days so that her family would have an opportunity to reclaim her with proof of ownership. Neither Lucy nor Duke were reclaimed. We've learned that Lucy is selective about making friends with other dogs and chooses those that she likes or dislikes. Lucy does NOT do well with cats and should not be placed in home where she would have contact with feline friends.
