Story
Zannah is a beautiful 2-year old female Australian Cattle Dog (Blue Heeler/Red Heeler mix) who was surrendered by her family on August 14, 2025 (her background story is included with her Petfinder biography). Zannah has a uniquely-marked white short smooth coat with blue-and red-ticking, a long tail, and an adorable face with expressive brown eyes, a narrow/slender muzzle, and large semi-erect ears. This lovely girl has the sweetest smile, and she always seemed to be smiling in her photos. Zannah is a fairly large dog who weighed 68 lbs when she entered our shelter on August 14th. We had taken preliminary photos of Zannah in her large floor crate and were anxious to take more flattering photos .. Our first opportunity was on August 19th when Zannah was enjoying some out-of-crate time in a shaded outdoor kennel, so we saw our chance and started snapping as many pictures as possible (smile). Zannah was the perfect model and demonstrated how she could 'sit pretty' and remain calm. Zannah's background story is rather sad since her original owner had become physically able to take care of her .. And another close family member offered Zannah a really good home. Things went well until Zannah saw the other dog in her new family's home giving kisses/licking a child. Zannah apparently thought that she needed to protect the child and decided to take action .. which resulted in the other dog being injured. The family's dog survived the incident, but they felt Zannah needed to find another home. Zannah was spayed on October 2, 2025 and was also given rabies vaccine. Update: Zannah went home with a foster family on October 23, 2025 so that she could enjoy a real home environment instead of a shelter kennel .. Zannah is still available for adoption. If you would like to meet Zannah in person, please complete an HSOV adoption application so that we may arrange a meet-and-greet with her foster family. Zannah was returned to our shelter on October 31st because she was nipping at the foster family's dog ..

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
Simone is a beautiful 3-year old female (possible) Australian Shepherd mix who was brought to the HSOV on August 26, 2024 by a compassionate individual who found her on State Route 676 in the Churchtown area near Marietta Ohio. Simone was dragging an attached leash and, though she was obviously a very scared/frightened girl, she seemed to sense that this Good Samaritan was her guardian angel/savior .. And Simone jumped into her car and was driven to the safety of our shelter. Thanks also to the Washington County Ohio Deputy Sheriff who met them at HSOV and took Simone into the Receiving area of our shelter and made sure she was safe for the night. Simone has a lovely chocolate brown coat with blonde shading, a long tail, and an adorable face with expressive brown eyes, blonde eyebrows, a liver-colored nose, and a long chubby muzzle. Simone has teeny tiny 'folded over' ears which suggest that she might have some Shar-Pei ancestors in her family background. Simone was examined by one of our wonderful local veterinarians on August 28th because she had painful burns/peeling on the pads of her paws when she entered our shelter. Simone is temporary listed as a "Special Needs Dogs" since she is currently on antibiotics and anti-inflammatory/nerve pain medications. Our HSOV staff/kennel techs are soaking her sore feet in an Epsom salts solution each day, and Simone will return to the veterinarian's clinic for a follow-up appointment in a week or so. These photos of Simone were taken on August 30th in the shelter bathroom where she is currently being housed. Simone has a rather demure disposition but loves soft/soothing conversations, gentle petting, and attention. She is enjoying a quiet blanket-filled room of her own while she recuperates from her paw injuries. Simone weighs 40.2 lbs and isn't a very large girl when you see her in person. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Simone was held for three days so that her family would have an opportunity to reclaim her with proof of ownership .. But nobody called or came looking for this beautiful girl. Update: Simone's paws have healed up nicely, and she is no longer listed as being 'Temporarily Special Needs'. She loves taking walks these days and looks forward to being walked by our staff and volunteers. We've learned that Simone is not good with cats. Simone was spayed on October 1, 2024 and was also given rabies vaccine.
