Story
Piglet (affectionately known as Piggie) is a handsome 8-year old male Pit Bull Terrier/Red Heeler mix who came to the HSOV during the overnight/early morning hours on January 26, 2024 when he was placed in one of our outside kennels near the front door of our shelter. Piglet was wearing a collar but, unfortunately, there was neither an id tag nor a dog tag on his collar ... And he was not microchipped. No information was left with Piglet, so we don't know if someone found him as a stray or whether his owner left him with us for some unknown reason. Piglet has a white short smooth coat with beautiful red/brown ticking and a large brown patch on his right side, a long tail, and an adorable symmetrically-marked face with amber-colored eyes, a liver-colored nose, and large floppy ears. Piglet might possibly have some Pointer ancestors in his family tree since at first glance he appears to have physical traits of that breed .. But he never went 'on point' when HSOV Kennel Tech Bradyn Morris helped him with this photo session on the afternoon of February 3, 2024. Piggie was full of energy and ready for 'fun-and-games' or an extra-long walk instead of posing for boring still-life pictures, but he humored us with a few great poses. Piglet weighs 64.2 lbs and is strong on the other end of a leash. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Piglet 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 this magnificent boy. We've learned that Piglet was actually left in the outside kennel by his family :( .. And his real name is Brutus. An individual who was a friend of the family provided information about Brutus. He is NOT good with children (especially when food is involved), and he is NOT good with cats since he will cause mortal harm to them. Piglet aka Brutus is tolerant of other dogs. He does best with those who tend to leave him alone and aren't 'in his face'. We had listed Piglet's age as being 2-3 years old when he was first posted. We learned later that he was older than we originally believed and was likely 8-years old when he was left at our shelter. Piglet would love to find a fabulous home with someone special (possibly as an ‘only child’). He will be neutered before an adoption is finalized but could be fostered while he is awaiting that procedure.

Story
Odie is a cute 4-1/2 year old male Australian Cattle Dog/Red Heeler who was brought to HSOV on January 3, 2026 by a Good Samaritan who found him in the Walmart Parking Lot on Pike Street in Marietta Ohio. This little sweetheart has a white short smooth coat with tan/red ticking, a long tail, and an adorable face with tan shading around his hopeful dark brown eyes, a slender muzzle, and short tan 'folded-over' ears. Odie has a friendly personality. He was understandably a bit nervous when he was found wandering around a crowded parking lot and then found himself in a large floor crate in an unfamiliar place with people that he didn't yet realize were his new best friends (our HSOV shelter staff and kennel techs). Odie weighs 30 lbs and has already been neutered. We took preliminary photos of Odie in his floor crate and took outdoor photos of him on January 12th when HSOV Kennel Tech Emily Beaver spent time with him that afternoon. Odie looked to Emily for loving attention and guidance/support. He loved being carried in Emily's arms like a baby. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Odie was held for the mandatory three-day stray hold so that his family would have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership. Sadly nobody called or came looking for this little guy.

Story
Ernie is an adorable one-year old male Australian Cattle Dog/Terrier mix who was brought to HSOV on January 6, 2026 by a Good Samaritan who found him on DAV Road in the Whipple Ohio area. Ernie was accompanied by his best friend (Bert) who may possibly be his brother. Ernie has a black short smooth coat with a large white bib on his chest, tan shading on his legs, a long tail, and a cute face with dark brown eyes, tan eyebrows, tan shading on his slender muzzle, and large 'horizontal'/semi-erect ears. These pictures of Ernie were taken on the afternoon of January 12, 2026. Thanks to HSOV Kennel Tech Emily Beaver for spending time with Ernie and assisting him with his photo session. Ernie gave us a variety of poses (still-life, action shots, and some nestled up close to Emily). Ernie weighs 22 lbs. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Ernie was held for the mandatory three-day stray hold so that his family would have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership. Surprisingly nobody called or came looking for Ernie (or Bert). Ernie will be neutered before being adopted by his new family (a requirement for HSOV adoptions to be finalized). Ernie could be fostered while he is awaiting his neuter procedure with an approved HSOV foster/adoption application. Update: Ernie was neutered on January 19, 2026 and was also given rabies vaccine.

Odie weighs 30 lbs and has already been neutered. These photos of Odie were taken on January 10-11, 2026 in a weather-protected outdoor kennel while he enjoyed some exercise and also in his large floor crate. We've also posted updated outdoor photos of Odie which were taken on January 12th when HSOV Kennel Tech Emily Beaver spent time with him that afternoon. Odie looked to Emily for loving attention and guidance/support. He loved being carried in Emily's arms like a baby. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Odie was held for the mandatory three-day stray hold so that his family would have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership. Sadly nobody called or came looking for this little guy. Since Odie has already been neutered, he could leave our shelter with his new family fairly quickly with an approved HSOV adoption application.

Story
Bert is a cute one-year old male Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler mix who was brought to HSOV on January 6, 2026 by a Good Samaritan who found him on DAV Road in the Whipple Ohio area. Bert was accompanied by none other than his best friend (Ernie) who may possibly be his brother. Bert has a white short smooth coat with several large black patches on his sides, a long tail, and an adorable black/white face, dark brown eyes, tan eyebrows, and short floppy ears. Bert has beautiful blue ticking throughout his coat and red ticking on his legs. These pictures of Bert were taken on the afternoon of January 12, 2026. Thanks to HSOV Kennel Tech Emily Beaver for spending time with Bert and assisting him with his photo session. Bert posed for a few still-life photos but he really wanted to be as close to Emily as possible .. so his best pictures were those when he was standing upright on his hind legs and hugging Emily with his front paws (smile). Bert weighs 26 lbs. He doesn't appear to have had any walking-on-a-leash experience, but not to worry .. Much to Bert's delight, Emily picked him up in her arms and carried him back into the shelter like a babe in arms. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Bert was held for the mandatory three-day stray hold so that his family would have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership. Surprisingly nobody called or came looking for Bert (or Ernie). Bert will be neutered before being adopted by his new family (a requirement for HSOV adoptions to be finalized). Bert could be fostered while he is awaiting his neuter procedure with an approved HSOV foster/adoption application. Update: Bert was neutered on January 19, 2026 and was also given rabies vaccine.

Story
My name is Fancy . I am estimated to be 2 years old. I am a very sweet girl, but I have a very quirky personality. I am very good in the house ; I am crate trained and have used a doggie door. I love jumping right in the car and going for rides ! I walk on a leash every day currently. When I first meet people, I am very cautious, and act scared. I defiantly bond very fast to women. Young kids scare me, and I tend to go hide in my safe place , my crate. Once I feel comfy around you , I act just like every other dog. I love to give kisses , play with my toys and go for walks on the leash. I love fresh carrots for a treat or a big rawhide to chew on. I have lived with several dogs before and enjoy their company. All my vet work is done, and I am microchipped. My adoption fee covers transport from Tennessee. I can be a very good loyal companion in the right setting. I don’t necessarily need a fenced in yard if you walk me on a leash every day. My adoption fee covers a health certificate and transportation from Tennessee. I am spayed , microchipped and up to date on vaccinations
