Lynn is a beautiful 1-1/2 year old female (possible) Doberman Pinscher mix who was brought to the HSOV on September 10, 2024 by a Good Samaritan who had found her on Mitchells Lane in the Marietta Ohio area. Lynn was wearing a collar, but there was neither an id tag nor a dog tag on her collar .. And she was not microchipped.
Lynn has a sleek black short smooth coat with tan shading on her chest/legs, a small patch of white/black on her chest, a rather long body, a long tail, and an adorable face with dark brown eyes, tan eyebrows, a long slender muzzle, and large ears that she occasionally holds erect.
This young lady was understandably a bit confused and nervous when she first entered our shelter, so our HSOV kennel techs/staff gave her extra TLC in a quiet area of our shelter for several days.
These pictures of Lynn were taken on the afternoon of September 16th when HSOV Kennel Tech Emily Beaver spent time with her for outdoor photos. Lynn was much more relaxed and responded to Emily's gentle encouragement .. And she was soon 'sitting pretty' for many of her photos. It was touching to see Lynn looking for guidance from Emily (and to see her giving Emily some great hugs and nice 'puppy kisses' before she was returned to her floor crate in the garage).
Lynn weighs approximately 50 lbs and walked fairly well on a leash with Emily by her side.
In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Lynn was held for three days so that her family would have an opportunity to reclaim her with proof of ownership. Sadly, nobody called or came looking for this beautiful girl.
