Story
Bandit is an adorable 4-year old male Border Collie/Spaniel mix who was brought to the HSOV on December 4, 2025 with several of his housemates (including Brutus, Molly, and Spot) for a heartbreaking reason. Their mistress had passed away recently, and there was suddenly they became homeless since there was nobody left to take care of them. This awesome boy has a white coat with black spotting, a long tail, and a beautiful black face with dark brown eyes, a white muzzle with black freckles, and large floppy ears which are fringed in wavy curls. Bandit has a happy, outgoing personality and wiggles his cute derriere the moment you make eye contact with him. Bandit weighs 44 lbs. Bandit will surely steal your heart when you meet him in person (smile). Bandit will be neutered before being officially adopted by his new family. He could be fostered-to-adopt while he is awaiting his neuter procedure with an approved HSOV foster/adoption application. Bandit would love to be back in a loving home instead of a floor crate.

Story
Molly is a beautiful 5-year old female Border Collie mix who was brought to the HSOV on December 4, 2025 with several of her housemates (including Bandit, Brutus, and Spot) for a heartbreaking reason. Their mistress had passed away recently, and they suddenly became homeless since there was nobody left to take care of them. This little sweetheart has a black medium-haired coat with a curly/wavy texture, a long tail, and an adorable face with hopeful trusting eyes, a black button nose, silver/frosty shading on her muzzle, and long floppy ears. Molly has a 'Type A' outgoing personality and literally begs for attention. These updated pictures were taken on December 12th 2025. Molly posed beautifully for several glamour photos in her floor crate, and she later enjoyed some one-on-one time with HSOV Kennel Tech Cheyenne Laskowski in the lobby of our shelter. All of the HSOV dogs love Cheyenne, so naturally Molly was over-the-moon happy soaking up loving attention from Cheyenne. Molly weighs 41.6 lbs. She walks fairly well on a leash. Since Molly has already been spayed, she could leave our shelter rather quickly with her new family. Please complete an HSOV adoption application for approval if you would like to foster (or adopt) Molly in time for the Christmas holiday. Molly would be ever so thankful to be back in a loving home.

Molly has a 'Type A' outgoing personality and literally begs for attention. These photos were taken on December 8th while Molly was enjoying some fresh air and exercise in a outside kennel .. This little lovebug was never far enough away from the camera for more flattering photos since she always had her nose pressed up against the fencing to beg for attention. Molly weighs 41.6 lbs. Since Molly has already been spayed, she could leave our shelter rather quickly with her new family. Please complete an HSOV adoption application for approval if you would like to foster (or adopt) Molly in time for the Christmas holiday. Molly would love to be back in a loving home.
