Slyveon is a beautiful 8-year old female Boxer who arrived at the HSOV after hours on November 1, 2024 after she was picked up in the Macksburg Ohio area by a Washington County Ohio Deputy Sheriff. Slyveon was wearing a collar but there was neither an id tag nor a dog license tag on her collar .. And she was not microchipped.
This sweet older lady has a tan-and-white coat, a short docked tail, and a lovely Boxer face with hopeful trusting eyes, black/silver shading on her muzzle, and natural un-cropped ears.
Slyveon has a gentle, easygoing personality. She wags her tiny tail a mile-a-minute the moment you make eye contact with her. Slyveon is housetrained. She does not do well with cats.
Slyveon was so popular when she first arrived that she actually ended up with two sets of 'glamour photos' (which speaks volumes for her sweet personality) ... Thanks to HSOV Board President/Volunteer Amber Dennison for accompanying Slyveon outdoors for her 'glamour photos' before she started walking several of the resident HSOV dogs .. And to HSOV Kennel Tech Lauryn Hamilton took Slyveon out later that afternoon after closing time for a bathroom break before going to her kennel for the night. The afternoon temperatures were a little chilly that day, so our kennel techs dressed Slyveon in a stylish lightweight jacket .. which she seemed to enjoy wearing.
Slyveon weighs 50 lbs and walks well on a leash.
In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Slyveon was held for the mandatory three-day stray hold. Sadly, nobody called or came looking for this sweet senior lady.
These updated photos of Slyveon were taken on December 1, 2024 when she was enjoying an afternoon siesta. Slyveon is a little cold-natured and still loves to wear comfy warm jackets (or to snuggle up in plush blankets). Slyveon has the sweetest disposition and would love to find a home where she could snuggle up with her new person on these cold winter days.
