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
Statler is a handsome male Australian Shepherd/Husky mix puppy who was born on September 22, 2025 when his mother (Sheba) gave birth to Statler and his eight siblings while Sheba was in foster care. This sweet boy has a black medium-haired coat with a large patch of white on his chest/belly, white paws, a white tip on the end of his long tail, and an adorable face with hopeful innocent eyes, a black button nose, a slender muzzle, and short floppy ears. Statler has a sweet, playful personality and loves to romp/play puppy games with his siblings. These pictures of Statler were taken on December 8th 2025. Statler was quite the charmer during his photo session and was a pushover for 'good boy' treats while he enjoyed attention from HSOV Kennel Tech Emma Dahlgren and her colleagues. Statler will be neutered before being adopted by his new family. He could be fostered-to-adopt while he is awaiting his neuter procedure. Please complete an HSOV foster/adoption application and submit for approval if you would like to give this little sweetheart a fabulous home.
