Story
Sheldon is a handsome 3-1/2 year old male Chocolate Labrador Retriever/Pit Bull Terrier mix who was brought to the HSOV on November 22, 2022 by the Washington County Ohio Dog Warden who picked him up on State Route 555 in the Cutler Ohio area. Sheldon was wearing an orange/silver reflective collar but there was neither an id tag nor a dog tag on his collar .. And he was not microchipped. Sheldon has a chocolate brown short smooth coat with a white bib on his neck/chest, a long tail, and an adorable face with expressive brown eyes, a milk chocolate nose, and short floppy ears . Sheldon has a friendly, easygoing personality and enjoyed his 15-minutes of fame when HSOV Humane Officer Fredley Tynan spent time with him for his outdoor photo session. There was an after-hours dog walk in progress, and Sheldon was very curious about other dogs that he saw being walked in the distant and seemed to want to make their acquaintance. He also 'perked up' when he saw cars being driven into the parking lot as though he expected his owner to coming to look for him. Sheldon appears to be housetrained. Sheldon weighs 59.4 lbs and walks fairly well on a leash. He has a slim trim physique and could easily carry a few more pounds. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Sheldon was held for three days so that his family would have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership. Since Sheldon was not reclaimed, he was neutered on January 11, 2023 and was also given rabies vaccine. Sheldon was adopted on March 25, 2023 but was returned a week or so later because he was nervous around babies (and perhaps with toddlers/small children) and shows his fear by growling, so we recommend that Sheldon be placed in a home with adults or older children. He is truly a fantastic lovable dog who will be a terrific companion with his new family. We've also learned that Sheldon does NOT do well with cats, so he should not be placed in a home where he would have contact with them. Sheldon appears to do ok with most other dogs.

Story
Balto is a cute 1-1/2 year old male Pointer/American Pit Bull Terrier mix who was brought to the HSOV on July 17, 2023 by a Good Samaritan who found him at Buckeye Park in Marietta Ohio. Balto was not wearing collar, and he was not microchipped. This adorable young man has a snow white short smooth coat, long legs, a long tail, and an adorable mischievous-looking face with a dark brown eyes, a large black patch on the right-hand side of his face (in the style of the 'Phantom-of-the-Opera' mask), a black button nose, and large floppy ears. Balto is a happy, overgrown puppy who is full of playful energy. He was enthusiastically doing zoomies and running laps around HSOV Humane Officer Fredley Tynan and thoroughly enjoyed his 15-minutes of fame during his photo session on July 18th. After watching his speedy moves and fancy footwork, our photographer joked that Balto may be a wanna-be Greyhound. Balto weighs 52 lbs. He has already been neutered. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Balto will be held for three days so that his family will have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership.

Story
Kota is a magnificent 2-1/2 year old male Australian Shepherd mix who was surrendered by his owner on July 13, 2023. Kota has a stunning red/mahogany-and-white long smooth coat, a long fluffy tail, and a beautiful face with pale blue eyes, a white slender muzzle, and short floppy ears. These photos of Kota were taken on July 14th when HSOV Lead Canine Kennel Tech Jared Nash accompanied Kota for outdoor photos late in the afternoon. Kota was a bit nervous being in an unfamiliar place when he'd been accustomed to being in his own home, but he did amazingly well with Jared since he quickly gained Kota's trust. Kota weighs 79 lbs and walked fairly well on a leash for Jared. Kota has already been neutered. Kota is NOT good with children and is looking for a home where he would not have contact youngsters. Kota also has sensitivity issues about being touched on his head, ears, and feet.

Story
Oakley is a magnificent 2-1/2 year old male Great Dane mix who was surrendered by his family on August 10, 2023. This handsome guy has a black-and-white short smooth coat, long legs, a long tail, and an adorable face with Great Dane features. Oakley has expressive brown eyes, a large muzzle, a black button nose, and short floppy ears. His family told us that Oakley is great with children of all ages. He is 'kinda' good with other dogs but may tend to be selective depending on the temperament of the other dogs. Oakley is very playful (like a big overgrown puppy), and he knows basic commands. Oakley has been kept indoors and is house-trained. He is sensitive/reactive if anyone grabs him by his collar or pulls him by his collar. Oakley adored HSOV Lead Canine Kennel Tech Jared Nash who accompanied him for outdoor photos on August 11, 2023. Oakley took cues from Jared and posed like a 'Best Of Show' Westminster contestant. Oakley weighs approximately 80 lbs and is strong on the other end of a leash. Oakley was neutered on August 16, 2021.

Bellatrix

American Pit Bull Terrier Blue Heeler

Details
Shots are up-to-date,
Story
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.
