My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Bellatrix is a beautiful 3-1/2 year old female Pit Bull Terrier/Blue Heeler mix who was brought to the HSOV on August 12, 2023 by a Good Samaritan after she was found on Lydia Road in the Little Hocking Ohio area about two weeks earlier. That family tried in vain to locate her family before bringing her to us in hopes that we could help find her way home.

Bellatrix has a sleek black short smooth coat, a large patch of white/blue ticking on her chest, white/black paws, a cute short tail, and a pretty face with dark brown eyes, a white stripe on her forehead, and short semi-erect ears.

The family who kept Bellatrix provided information that they had learned about her while she was at their home:

Bellatrix is not good (but not really bad) with cats. She is not good with female dogs but is okay with male dogs. Bellatrix was being fed raw food. She listens pretty well and saying "Bella" in a high pitch voice gets her attention. She is super sweet and loves belly rubs as well as treats.

Bellatrix was indeed very sweet and loved attention when these photos were taken soon after she arrived at HSOV. She is a happy girl who loved everyone she met.

She is a 'chunky' full-figured girl who tipped the scales at 72.6 lbs. Bellatrix is energetic on a leash.

In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Bellatrix will be held for three days so that her family will have an opportunity to reclaim her with proof of ownership.

Update: Bellatrix went home with a foster family on June 25, 2024 where she will enjoy the comfort of being in a real home environment while she waits for someone to fall in love with her and offer her an adoption contract and a forever home. Please complete an HSOV Adoption Application and submit for management approval if you would like to meet beautiful Bellatrix.

UPDATE 7/20/2024: Bellatrix' foster family has decided that they will officially adopt Bellatrix as soon as she is spayed (a requirement for HSOV adoptions to be finalized).
