My story

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

Pandora is a beautiful 8-year old female German Shepherd who was brought to the HSOV on September 24, 2022 after she was picked up on Peaker Run Road/McGrath Road in the Lower Salem Ohio area by a Washington County Deputy Sheriff. Pandora was accompanied by two other German Shepherds (Medusa and Roscoe). All three were wearing collars but there were neither id tags nor dog tags on their collars. One of the dogs (Roscoe) was microchipped so we are in the process of attempting to contact the individual to whom the microchip is registered.

Pandora has a jet black medium-haired coat, a long tail, and a gorgeous face with characteristic features of the German Shepherd breed. Pandora has dark brown eyes, a black button nose on her long muzzle, and large erect ears.

Pandora is understandably nervous being in an unfamiliar environment. The deputy sheriff who gave Pandora a ride to our shelter noted that she didn't seem very friendly with other dogs but that could have been because she was apprehended by the law.

Pandora is a big girl who weighs 82.4 lbs.

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

UPDATE: Pandora has been diagnosed with breast cancer which has spread to other parts of her body. Pandora went home with a compassionate foster mother on January 26, 2023 who will provide hospice/medical foster care for Pandora <3

Thank you to foster mother Christine-Dodd Ponce for providing hospice care for Pandora since January 26, 2023 and loving her every single day that she was with her. Christine sent this message on December 5, 2023 ... "With great sadness I am writing to let everyone know my Panda Bear aka Pandora crossed the Rainbow Bridge today at 10:52. She fought the cancer for as long as she could. Her mind was still willing but her body was not. It was my pleasure to be her foster mom until the end. I love you Panda Bear and I miss you so much already. You were a great dog and I wish we could have more time together."
