My story

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

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.

Update: Wile E. Coyote was adopted on June 26, 2025.

Unfortunately Wile E. Coyote was returned to HSOV on July 29, 2025 due to being an escape artist/flight risk and also having separation anxiety issues which, in turn, led to destructive behavior when left alone.

Wile E. Coyote's positive attributes are that he is very friendly, is housetrained, and he is good with children, cats, and dogs.

Wile E. Coyote is looking for the perfect home with an experienced adopter who will be willing to work with him to overcome his behavioral issues.

Wile E. Coyote was adopted late in the afternoon on November 23, 2025.
