My story

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

Hexa is a beautiful young female dog (possibly a Boxer/Plott Hound mix) who was placed in one of our outside kennels (HSOV in Marietta Ohio) during the overnight- or early morning hours on April 29, 2024. She was accompanied by her female companion Juniper (possibly a Rottweiler mix) who was placed in an adjacent kennel. Neither of the girls were wearing a collar.

Hexa has a brown/brindle short smooth coat, a long tail, and a pretty face with brown eyes, a black button nose, and large floppy ears. She is the smaller of the pair. Hexa weighs 49 lbs.

Both of the girls were understandably nervous/scared being penned up in an unfamiliar place, and they weren't quite ready to put on their happy face and pose for glamour pictures in our outdoor photo area .. So the 'paparazzi' patiently spent time with them and listened to them verbalizing their apprehension in the only way they knew how (by barking and putting up a brave front). After 10-15 minutes or so of quiet conversation on the paparazzi's side of the kennel gate (whispering sweet nothings through the fencing and telling them what good girls they were and that they were in good hands), they eventually began to wag their tails and decided that lady posed no threat to them .. And they relaxed enough in order to take some preliminary photos.

We look forward to taking more flattering pictures when the girls realize that they are indeed with their new best friends (our HSOV kennel techs and staff) who love them unconditionally.

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

Hexa was spayed on January 13, 2025 and was also given rabies vaccine.

Hexa (and HSOV Lila) are currently at Boxers Bed & Biscuits in Belpre Ohio where they are enjoying an out-of-shelter ‘vacation’ thanks to the generosity of a group of dedicated HSOV volunteers/supporters. They are both available for adoption through HSOV either separately or together).

Update: Hexa and Lila thoroughly enjoyed their 'vacation' at Boxers Bed & Biscuits. They returned to HSOV on March 13, 2025 and are hoping that someone will offer them the home of their dreams. We know it is a 'let-down' to return to a crowded shelter after being treated to the luxury/freedom of being spoiled by the BB&B staff~

Hexa went home with a foster family on March 18, 2025 who plans to adopt her if all goes well.

Hexa was officially adopted by her foster family on (August 30, 2025).
