Story
Jelly Bean is a very apt name for this gal: Sweet, compact and irresistible! Jelly Bean is true to her breed in the playyard, and loves running around and chasing the other dogs. She walks well on the leash, loves attention and can't wait to find her forever home! We do think JB would do better in a home with dogs closer to her size based on playstyles but please give us a call to discuss your specific case and arrange a meeting with JB today! If you are interested, you can fill out an application online at https://www.hsop.org/copy-of-adoption-application * Please note that PetFinder Inquiries do not count as applications, and we often do not see them. To speak to an adoption counselor, you can fill out an application on our website or give us a call at 304-422-5541! * 4-8-2024

Story
Jupiter is a cute 2-year old female Australian Cattle Dog/Red Heeler mix who was brought to the HSOV on December 16, 2023 by a Good Samaritan who found her on Everson Road in the Belpre Ohio area. Jupiter was wearing a bright orange collar but there was neither an id tag nor a dog license tag on her collar ... And she was not microchipped. This little sweetheart has a white short smooth coat which is sprinkled with red ticking, a long tail, and an adorable face with red ticking/freckles, a liver-colored nose, and semi-erect ears. Jupiter's left eye is blue while her right eye is brown, which gives her such an endearing appearance. Jupiter has a friendly, rather demure, personality, and she is understandably a bit frightened being in an unfamiliar place with new people that she doesn't yet realize are her new best friends. HSOV Kennel Tech Mckayla spent time with Jupiter in the shelter lobby for preliminary photos on December 19th since the outside temperatures were in the freezing range late that afternoon .. Jupiter was in love with Mckayla and thoroughly attention (and 'good girl' treats) .. but she was puzzled by the paparazzi/photograph experience and couldn't figure out 'what the heck' that was all about. Jupiter weighs 44 lbs. She doesn't appear to have the luxury of learning to walk on a leash, but she is a smart little cookie who will quickly master that new skill. These photos of Jupiter admittedly not the most flattering of this cute girl, but we wanted to share them in hopes that her family is searching for her. We will take outdoor 'glamour shots' at the first opportunity if she is not reclaimed. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Jupiter will be held for three days so that her family will have an opportunity to reclaim her with proof of ownership.

Meet Jupiter (Photos 3/12/2024) Jupiter is a cute 2-year old female Australian Cattle Dog/Red Heeler mix who was brought to the HSOV on December 16, 2023 by a Good Samaritan who found her on Everson Road in the Belpre Ohio area. Jupiter was wearing a bright orange collar but there was neither an id tag nor a dog license tag on her collar ... And she was not microchipped. This little sweetheart has a white short smooth coat which is sprinkled with red ticking, a long tail, and an adorable face with red ticking/freckles, a liver-colored nose, and semi-erect ears. Jupiter's left eye is blue while her right eye is brown, which gives her such an endearing appearance. Jupiter has a friendly, rather demure, personality. For the first few weeks Jupiter was in our shelter, she was understandably a bit frightened being in an unfamiliar place with new people that she doesn't yet realize were her new best friends. We took preliminary photos of Jupiter on December 19th since the outside temperatures were in the freezing range late that afternoon.. Jupiter thoroughly attention (and 'good girl' treats) .. but she was puzzled by the paparazzi/photograph experience and couldn't figure out 'what the heck' that was all about (smile). Jupiter weighed 44 lbs when we first met her. She didn't appear to have the luxury of learning to walk on a leash, but she was a smart little cookie who quickly mastered that new skill thanks to our compassionate HSOV kennel techs and dedicated volunteers. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Jupiter was held for three days so that her family would have an opportunity to reclaim her with proof of ownership. Sadly, nobody called or came looking for this little sweetheart. These updated photos of Jupiter were taken on March 12, 2024 when she participated in our St Patrick's mini-photo publicity event, and she did her herself proud. Thanks to HSOV Kennel Tech Emily Beaver and HSOV Volunteer Emma Dahlgren for spending time with Jupiter for these 'out of this world' glamour pictures. Jupiter was a pushover for 'good girl' treats and flashed her award-winning smile for the camera.

Story
Betty is a beautiful 2-year old female Australian Cattle Dog/Red Heeler mix who was surrendered by her owner on April 20, 2024 because she was not good with other animals. This young lady has a red/mahogany-and-white short smooth coat with red ticking, a naturally docked tail, and a cute symmetrically-marked face dark brown eyes, a black button nose on her slender muzzle, a nice 'smile', and short semi-erect ears. Betty had been in her new family's home for only a few weeks. They had hoped to keep her, but she was aggressive toward their other animals. Betty is not good with other dogs or cats, and she tends to be protective of her food. Betty is house trained. Betty currently weighs 55 lbs. She has not yet been spayed. Betty is looking for an experienced handler who will work with her to resolve the food protection behavior. She appears to be ok with her people friends.

Story
Have you been thinking you might want a cattle dog? If so, visit with Lewis! Lewis NEEDS someone who WANTS and understands this breed and all that they require. He is a herding type dog who is at his happiest when he has a full-time job. These kinds of dogs have high prey drive, can be nippy (that is how they instinctually herd) and are very vocal; he is NOT recommended for homes with young children, small dogs, cats or other small animals who he may find fun to chase. Lewis is very smart and takes direction well and he needs that consistency and structure, otherwise he will find his own way to entertain himself. Lewis is a friendly guy who really enjoys treats and all the petting that you're willing to give him! If you want an active, super smart companion and can provide for his needs, Lewis just may be the dog you are looking for. If you are interested in meeting Lewis, please submit an adoption form found on our website: fairfieldcountydogs.com. Once received, we will contact you to arrange a visit. Primary Color: Brown Secondary Color: White Weight: 30 Age: 0yrs 8mths 3wks
