Story
This cute little guy (Wile E. Coyote) was brought to the HSOV on June 19, 2024 by a Good Samaritan who had found him the previous day on Oakwood Avenue in Marietta Ohio and tried in vain to locate his family. Wile E. Coyote was wearing a collar with a partial tie-out/leash attached but there was neither an id tag nor a dog license tag on his collar .. And he was not microchipped. And in case you are wondering, there were no sightings of The Road Runner in the vicinity where Wile E. Coyote was found (smile). Wile E. Coyote is a 10-month old male German Shepherd mix. He has a black-and-brown/tan short smooth coat with white highlights on his chest, a long tail, and an adorable face with beautiful brown eyes, a tan mask, and large erect ears. This young man appears to have a happy, outgoing personality. These photos were taken on June 21, 2024 when Wile E. was enjoying some fresh air in one of our covered/shaded outdoor kennels. The afternoon temperatures that day reached 95 degrees which was much too hot/humid for photos in our usual grassy area (which is in direct sunshine), so the better part of valor (and common sense) dictated that we'd settle for a less-than-perfect backdrop in order to be able to post pictures of this little sweetheart. Wile E. Coyote weighs 46 lbs and isn't a very large boy when you see him in person. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Wile E. Coyote will be held for three days so that his family will have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership. Since he was not reclaimed, Wile E. Coyote was neutered on August 5, 2024 and was also given rabies vaccine. Wile E. Coyote was adopted on August 20, 2024. Wile E. Coyote was returned to HSOV on February 11, 2025 since he had become an escape artist who acquired a taste for poultry and could not be trusted with neighborhood chickens. Wile E. is looking for an appropriate new home where he would have no contact with chickens or other feathered friends .. And he needs to learn to return home when his owner/family calls him back.

Story
Cody (fka Handsome Pants) is a majestic 3-year old male German Shepherd who was surrendered by his owner on January 8, 2025 for a heartbreaking reason since Cody's owner was no longer physically able to take care of his beloved dog. Cody's housemate Remy (a 5-year old male German Shepherd) was also surrendered on January 8th. Cody has a black/brown/tan short smooth coat, a long fluffy tail, and a beautiful classic German Shepherd face with dark brown eyes, a large slender muzzle, and extra-large erect ears. Cody may look familiar to many of our HSOV volunteers/supporters since he originally came to our shelter on June 3, 2024 and was posted under the name Handsome Pants. These pictures were taken later that afternoon when HSOV Kennel Tech Emily Beaver assisted him with his photo session. Handsome Pants was neutered on July 2, 2024 and was also given rabies vaccine. He was adopted on July 17, 2024 and given the new name Cody. Cody (aka Handsome Pants) currently weighs 107 lbs and is very strong on a leash. Cody tends to be protective of his food. Cody and Remy are looking for a fabulous home (either together or separately) with an experienced adopter who is familiar with the German Shepherd breed. We know that Cody and Remy are heartbroken and miss their owner who loved them so much. Sadly, we've learned that their owner has passed away recently. We know that his heart was broken having to say goodbye to his dogs and making the difficult decision to surrender them. We hope that both Cody and Remy will find a home(s) with someone who loved them as much as he did.

Remy is a magnificent 5-year old male German Shepherd who was surrendered by his owner on January 8, 2025 for a heartbreaking reason since Remy's owner was no longer physically able to take care of his beloved dogs. Remy's housemate Cody (a 3-year old male German Shepherd) was also surrendered on January 8th. Remy has a sleek black-and-tan short smooth coat, a long fluffy tail, and a beautiful classic German Shepherd face with dark brown eyes, a large slender muzzle, and extra-large erect ears. Remy currently weighs 120 lbs and is very strong on a leash. We don't know yet how Remy feels about cats or children. Remy got along well with Cody when they shared their home from the past six months. Remy and Cody are looking for a fabulous home (either together or separately) with an experienced adopter who is familiar with the German Shepherd breed. We know that Remy and Cody are heartbroken and miss their owner who loved them so much. Sadly, we've learned that their owner has passed away recently.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Hello friends! My name is Emily. I was brought to the Olive Branch as a stray by local law enforcement.  I was very shy when I came in, but I have learned that meeting new people isn't scary and have become much more outgoing. I am a little picky about my doggie friends, so I would like to meet any other companions you may have before I'm adopted. An active family who loves to walk or hike would be perfect for me. I have been spayed, fully vaccinated, combo tested Lyme Disease positive and I have had my 30-day cycle of doxycycline, and my preventives are up-to-date.  If you are interested in adopting me please visit our website: olivebranchwv.org to fill out and application. Hope to see you soon!Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.March 8, 2025, 2:35 pm
