Story
Pablo is a cute one-year old male American Staffordshire Terrier/Pit Bull Terrier who was brought to the HSOV on February 21, 2025 after he was found on the 400 block of Franklin Street in Marietta Ohio. Pablo was not wearing a collar, and he was not microchipped. This handsome guy has a snow white short smooth coat with a brown patch on his lower back, a long brown/white tail, and an adorable chubby face with beautiful mesmerizing eyes, a liver-colored nose, and large super-sized ears which he holds semi-erect when he chooses to do so. Pablo has a sweet disposition and a friendly, outgoing personality. He loves attention from everyone who has meet him. Pablo weighs 47 lbs. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Pablo was held for three days so that his family would have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership. Surprisingly nobody called or came looking for this little man. Pablo was neutered on March 4, 2025 and was also given rabies vaccine. Pablo went home with a foster family on March 8, 2025, and he became available for adoption on June 12, 2025. Updated information about Pablo from his foster family: "Pablo needs to go to a home without a male dog preferably or at least one who isn’t already THE BOSS for sure. Females he’s perfect with, and he is the BEST BOY!! He is a handful yes, but he’s just a puppy still and he does listen and I’ve been working with him. He has some separation anxiety from his previous “situation”. Pablo is house trained and is crate trained .. but definitely sleeps with me every night. THE ONLY reason I’m choosing to adopt him out is because of the fact he and Chevy aren’t ever gonna be homeboys. He’s the biggest sweetheart of all time. Just needs to be THE MAN of the house to speak." Pablo came back to HSOV on July 30, 2025 after an altercation with another male dog in the household, and his foster family made the decision that Pablo would be more suited for a home without any male dogs or have contact with them. It was touching to see Pablo quickly jump up on the couch in the shelter lobby when he returned and to snuggle up with HSOV Executive Director Amy Rogers. Pablo will be adjusting to shelter life and will soon be looking for the perfect home. Pablo went home with a foster family on September 15, 2025.

Story
Steven is a handsome 4-year old male American Staffordshire Terrier mix who was brought to the HSOV on December 6, 2024 by a Good Samaritan who found him on Echo Valley Road in the Waterford Ohio area. Steven was accompanied by his best friend Arlo (a 3-year old male Yellow Labrador Retriever) who is also in our shelter. Neither of these boys were wearing a collar, and they were not microchipped. Steven has a chocolate brown-and-white coat, a long tail, and an adorable chubby face with dark brown eyes, a brown patch around his right eye, a black button nose, and semi-erect ears. Steven has the cutest wrinkles on his chubby face which gives him the sweetest appearance. Steven and Arlo are continuing to enjoy their own 'bachelor's pad' in our Safe Haven Building where they have the freedom of not being in a kennel. Neither Steven nor Arlo accepts cats into their circle of friends and cannot be trusted to be nice to them. Steven is a muscular boy who weighs 68 lbs. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Steven and Arlo were held for three days so that their family would have an opportunity to reclaim them with proof of ownership. Sadly, nobody called or came looking for this magnificent pair of best friends. Update: Steven was neutered on September 24, 2025 and was also given rabies vaccine. Thanks to HSOV Volunteer Jennie Payton Sherrard for spending time with Steven for these updated photos late in the afternoon on September 28, 2025. Steven's personality has blossomed over the past several months, and he was a joy to photograph with Jennie by his side. Steven was fascinated with the paparazzi and was a real 'ham' for the camera. Since Steven and Arlo are very bonded with each other, Jennie and HSOV Volunteer Angel Grosklos teamed up to walk both boys from their 'apartment' in the Safe Haven Building so that they did not have to be separated. Steven and Arlo are both neutered, so they could leave our shelter immediately (together of course) with an approved HSOV foster/adoption application.
