My story

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

Amor is a beautiful 7-year old female (possible) Blue Heeler/Bluetick Coonhound mix who was brought to the HSOV on July 1, 2024 by a Washington County Ohio Deputy Sheriff who picked her up on Hazelwood Road in the Marietta Ohio area. Amor was not wearing a collar, and she was not microchipped.

This lovely girl has a white short smooth coat with blue- and red ticking, a black patch at the base of her long tail, and an adorable symmetrically-marked black-and-tan face with a narrow white stripe on her forehead, white/blue ticking on her muzzle, and large floppy ears.

Amor has the most lovable, affectionate disposition. This little sweetheart is living in a world without sight since she appears to be blind in both eyes.

Thanks to HSOV Volunteer Jennie Payton Sherrard for accompanying Amor for outdoor photos on the evening of July 2nd during an after-hours dog walk. Amor was in love with Jennie and demonstrated that she had adapted to her physical limitation of eyesight. Amor walked well on a leash with Jennie close by her side, and she gave her some great 'puppy kisses' and hugs afterwards as thanks for loving on her,

Amor weighs 56 lbs.

In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Amor will be held for the mandatory three-day stray hold. She will be available for adoption if not reclaimed.

Amor went home with a foster family on September 20, 2024 who plans to adopt her if all goes well.
