Story
Jack is a handsome 12-year old male Bulldog who was surrendered by his original owner on August 2, 2023 because he/she was unable to contain him. Jack has a tan-and-white short smooth coat, a tiny docked tail, and an adorable symmetrically-marked face with black shading around his eyes, a black button nose on his cute muzzle, and short floppy ears. His original owner told us that Jack was good with other dogs, but we've learned that he is selective about the dogs he gets along with. Jack does NOT do well with cats and should not be placed in a home with cats or where he would have any contact with them. Jack has had encounters in the past which did not end well for the cat(s). Jack loves his people friends and would love to find a home where he could be an 'only child'. Jack has been kept indoors and is house-trained. This sweet guy defies his chronological age and he obviously believes that 'age is just a number' .. Jack was full of playful energy when HSOV Kennel Tech Rachel Elizabeth accompanied him for updated photos on April 1st 2024. Jack loved attention from Rachel while showing off his personality and physique. Jack weighs 60 lbs and is fairly strong on a leash. Jack has already been neutered, so he could leave our shelter immediately with an approved HSOV adoption application. He could also be fostered with an approved HSOV Adoption/Foster application. Update: Jack was adopted on July 5, 2024 but came back to our shelter in mid-August 2024 since he did not get along with the family's dog. Jack is now a 13-year old 'senior citizen'. Jack would love to find a home with someone special where he could spend his golden years as an 'only child'.

Story
Lola was picked up on the side of our local highway. Several days prior we received a 911 call that a dog was tied to the guardrails in the early morning hours. By the time we got there the dog was gone. She was spotted a few times after that through the week. Finally a DOH worker seen her and stopped along the road. She was very fearful so he wasn't able to secure her for us but she wouldn't leave the side of his truck. We arrived and it took a few cookies and some kind words to gain her trust to get the leash around her. Once she was leashed she was so happy and ready to get in the truck to get warm. She spent 6 long days that we know of our in the snow and cold temperatures along the highway. Lola is still scared of new people at first but it only takes a few minutes for her to become your new best buddy! She seems dog friendly so far. She is a little curious of cats. She has several wounds that need taken care of and a spay appointment before she can leave the shelter. Once she is all patched and healed up she will be looking for a new loving home like she should have in the first place! We are guessing her to be an American Bully/American Bulldog mix that is at least 6 years old or older.

Story
Harriet was found on St. Rt. 13, north of Glouster, near the new school bus garage (Kellys Stretch). She is thought to be around 4 years old. Harriet currently weighs 75 pounds. When dogs come into the stressful shelter environment, there are many possible reactions. Some dogs completely shut down, others cry and seek affection, and then there are dogs like Harriet who have big feelings about the whole thing! Harriet is not pleased about being in the shelter and would initially show it by barking in her kennel, jumping and pulling toward other dogs, and acting aloof towards her handler. Just like many dogs who have been abandoned, Harriet felt the need to act tough to survive. While we admired Harriet's strong will, eventually she has shown us her more sensitive side. It turns out that Harriet loves stuffed animals. She will even take them on a walk with her, carrying them gently in her mouth the whole way. Occasionally Harriet will dismember her stuffed friends, but we know it's out of love. When Harriet is stressed, she will seek comfort and reassurance from you and glue herself to your side. When strong dogs show you their soft side, it absolutely melts your heart. Outside of the shelter, Harriet is an altogether different dog. She is goofy and soaks up all the attention she can get. The shelter is not a comfortable place for Harriet and she needs a home to truly succeed.

Story
Bailey is an adorable 7-1/2 year old female English Bulldog who was surrendered by her owner on December 27, 2023 because she did not get along the other dogs in family's home. This little sweetheart has a snow white coat, a broad chest, a tiny docked tail, and a beautiful Bulldog face with dark brown eyes, teeny white eyelashes,short ears, a black button nose, and a classic short, broad, 'upward-turned' muzzle. Bailey is listed as a 'Special Needs Dog' since she is hearing impaired/deaf. Bailey has a sweet, easygoing personality with her people friends and was a pleasure to photograph when HSOV Humane Officer Fredley Tynan accompanied her for outdoor glamour pictures late in the afternoon on August 2nd. Bailey may look familiar to many of our volunteers (and Facebook fans) since she had been brought to the HSOV on August 2, 2023 and was adopted on August 29, 2023. So Bailey spent four months in her adoptive home. Bailey weighs 48 lbs and walks fairly well on a leash. She has already been spayed. Her adopted family reported that Bailey does not do well with young children but is fine with older children. Bailey is not good with other dogs or cats. She is protective of her food bowl and does NOT tolerate having her nails trimmed. Bailey has been kept indoors and is housetrained. She is crate-trained and was kept indoors in a crate during the night. Bailey spent time in her fenced-in yard for exercise (and she enjoys being a lap dog). Bailey does well being bathed, and she loves to ride in a car. Bailey is currently in foster care. She is available for meet-and-greet and/or adoption with an approved HSOV adoption application.

Story
Duke is a handsome 2-year old male Boxer mix who was brought to the HSOV on January 30, 2024 by a Washington County Ohio Deputy Sheriff who had picked Duke up (along with his beautiful sister Lucy) on Dana's Run Road in the Newport Ohio area. Duke has a dark brown/black short smooth coat in a brindle pattern, a large white bib on his chest, white paws, a long tail, and an adorable symmetrically-marked face brindle/white face with beautiful brown eyes, a black button nose, and short floppy ears. These photos were taken on February 3, 2024 when HSOV Kennel Tech Sydney Satow spent time with Duke for his Petfinder/Facebook/Adoptapet photos. Duke weighs approximately 65 lbs and is very strong on a leash. Duke has already been neutered and was given rabies vaccine on February 14, 2023. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Duke was held for three days so that his family would have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership. Neither Duke (nor his sister Lucy) were reclaimed. We've learned that Duke does NOT do well with other dogs (or cats), so he would be looking for a home that he did not have to share with other animals.

Story
Lucy is a beautiful 2-year old female Boxer mix who was brought to the HSOV on January 30, 2024 by a Washington County Ohio Deputy Sheriff who picked Lucy up (and also her good-looking brother Duke) after they were found on Dana's Run Road in the Newport Ohio area. Lucy has a black-and-white short smooth coat with an intriguing pattern, a long tail, and an adorable face with a large black "pirate's patch" around her left eye, a black button nose on her chubby muzzle, and short floppy ears. Lucy has a vivacious outgoing personality and was ready for 'action photos' when HSOV Kennel Tech Bradyn Morris accompanied her for outdoor glamour photos on the afternoon of February 3, 2024. Lucy weighs 47.3 lbs and is surprisingly very strong on a leash since she isn't a very big girl when you see her in person. Lucy has already been spayed and was given rabies vaccine on February 14, 2023. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Lucy was held for three days so that her family would have an opportunity to reclaim her with proof of ownership. Neither Lucy nor Duke were reclaimed. We've learned that Lucy is selective about making friends with other dogs and chooses those that she likes or dislikes. Lucy does NOT do well with cats and should not be placed in home where she would have contact with feline friends.
