Story
5yo Australian Shepherd seeking a loving home. Previous owners report he did well with cats/children. When initially coming to us, he showed anxiety during transition while wearing a cone to heal from an injury. A few stressful moments during led to teeth contact early on (strangers getting too close to his face right away), though no injury or so much as broken skin occurred. Asa has warmed up to us well and we have had no issues in the months since. He responds very well to training, knows "leave it," and rings his doorbell to potty, but is too curious to get along with our cats. High energy, smart, affectionate, and eager to please. Loves belly rubs, cuddles, treats, running, and catching toys. Great in the car, at the vet, and not destructive. He is potty, leash, and crate trained. This sweet boy needs a loving family to help him thrive.

Story
Spot is a 1-year-old, 44-pound Australian Shepherd/Retriever mix who somehow ended up with the most straightforward name possible—and absolutely no interest in being forgettable. This handsome white-and-brown boy has lived with other dogs and does well in playgroups, where he’s happy to join the fun and make a few canine friends. At just a year old, he’s still got plenty of playful energy, goofy moments, and adventures ahead. Spot is currently looking for his perfect place in the world. Preferably one with toys, treats, dog friends, and a couch where he can take up more room than expected.

Story
Jackal is a handsome one-year old male Australian Shepherd/Husky mix who was brought to the HSOV on August 20th 2026 by an individual who found him on State Route 821 (between Interstate-77 and State Route 60 in Washington County Ohio). Jackal was accompanied by his companions (Badger and Puma) who are surely his siblings. All three of the boys were wearing a collar, but there was neither an ID tag nor a dog license tag on their collars ... And they were not microchipped. Jackal has a tan-and-cream medium/longhaired coat with subtle black shading, a long extra fluffy tail, and a beautiful Shepherd/Husky tan face with a white stripe on his forehead, a black button nose, a white ring around his slender muzzle, and large erect ears. Jackal's left eye is pale blue while his right eye is brown. Jackal and his relatives all have incredible extra-fluffy tails (the largest fluffiest tails we've ever seen by far .. almost as if they were sporting hair extensions to enhance the length and volume of their tails) (smile). But we can vouch for the boys and report that their tails are indeed natural with no fake extensions. Thanks to HSOV Volunteer Jennie Sherrard for accompanying Jackal for his outdoor photo session. Jackal posed beautifully and was careful to make eye contact with the camera so that everyone could see his stunning eye colors. He gave Jennie several nice hugs while still gazing at the camera. Jackal weighs 36.5 lbs. He did fairly well walking on a leash and was happy when Jennie took him for a short walk after he was finished with his glamour shots. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Jackal and his siblings will be held for the mandatory three-day stray hold so that their family will have an opportunity to reclaim them with proof of ownership.

Badger is a handsome one-year old male Australian Shepherd/Husky mix who was brought to the HSOV on August 20th 2026 by an individual who found him on State Route 821 (between Interstate-77 and State Route 60 in Washington County Ohio). Badger was accompanied by his companions (Jackal and Puma) who are surely his siblings. All three of the boys were wearing a collar, but there was neither an ID tag nor a dog license tag on their collars ... And they were not microchipped. Badger has a black-and-tan medium/longhaired coat, a long extra fluffy tail, and an adorable Shepherd/Husky face with brown eyes, a tan mask, a black button nose, a slender muzzle, and large erect ears. Badger and his relatives all have incredible extra-fluffy tails (the largest fluffiest tails we've ever seen by far .. almost as if they were sporting hair extensions to enhance the length and volume of their tails) (smile). But we vouch for the boys and report that their tails are indeed natural with no fake extensions. Thanks to HSOV Shelter Manager Tracy Lynn for spending time with Badger for his outdoor photo session. Badger was a little apprehensive about the paparazzi/camera 'thing' as well as his new 'home' with so many other dogs nearby and people that he did not yet realize were his new best friends. Badger did himself proud and bravely posed for pictures with encouragement from Tracy and hearing what a 'good boy' he was. Badger weighs 33.5 lbs. He doesn't appear to have been accustomed to walking on a leash, but he made a noble effort and did fairly well for his Petfinder/Facebook debut photos. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Badger and his siblings will be held for the mandatory three-day stray hold so that their family will have an opportunity to reclaim them with proof of ownership.
