My story

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

Damara (aka Lucy) is a beautiful 2-year old female Australian Shepherd/Pointer mix who was brought to the HSOV on February 1, 2025 by a Washington County Ohio Deputy Sheriff who picked her up on Albright Road in the Beverly Ohio. Damara was not wearing a collar, and she was not microchipped.

This young lady has a black-and-white short smooth coat, rather long legs with brindle shading on her hind legs, a tiny stubby/docked tail, and an adorable face with black/white freckles on her slender muzzle, a black/pink nose, and large floppy ears.

Thanks to HSOV Kennel Tech Hannah Mcclain for spending time with Damara four outdoor photos on February 1st. Hannah and her colleague Madison Lee teamed up to help Damara with her best poses, and they learned that she would 'sit pretty' for good girl treats. Damara loved the attention/petting which Hannah and Madison gave her.

Damara weighs 52 lbs and walked fairly well on a leash for Hannah.

There is a (yet unconfirmed) report that Damara is not good with farm animals such as sheep/lambs. She is reported to be good with other dogs and is ok with children but will chase cats.

Damara has already been spayed.

In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Damara will be held for the mandatory three-day stray hold so that her family will have an opportunity to reclaim her with proof of ownership.

Since she was not reclaimed, Damara/Lucy was adopted by a new family on February 24, 2025.

Unfortunately Lucy was returned to HSOV on March 11, 2025 because she was chasing deer and stray cats. Her new family loved her very much and felt she was the perfect pup but couldn't keep her away from the distractions of deer and cats. So Lucy is once again searching for the perfect home.

Update: Lucy went home with a foster family on June 7, 2025.

Happy Update: Lucy was adopted by her foster family on July 16, 2025.
