Story

Dakota is a handsome name, kind of a "rugged" kind of name, right?? I am kind of a REFINED RUGGED kind of boy! For instance, I am a busy boy, I love playing and running with my doggy friends, however, I can lay at your feet very sweetly to beg for your attention. I am kind of like a "reverse" planter as well. I mean, you plant it and i will un-plant it for you :D I won't do it often, just when I want your attention and I am outside alone. So see?? you have great control over that urge! So I am a food and toy lover too, I eat out of a slow feeder bowl because wolfing down my food is not an option! I am learning all things toys and am actually learning how to bring the ball BACK after you throw it. I am a smart and very sweet boy. I do absolutely have a prey drive so no kitties for small furry mammals around me please. I am fully potty trained and great in a crate. Now i just need you to adopt me to complete my circle of life. Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Story

So I have 8 puppies they were born on 10-10-24 6 are female and 2 are male. They are all adorable (lol) and all have unique personalities. If I had the space I would keep every last one of them but sadly I do not. I’m not sure what their coats will be like but they may have blow outs 2x a year or have the coat of a German shepherd so keep that in mind. If you have any questions please feel free to ask.

Story

Meiko is 8+ years old. She is a very loving but very needy and I believe she has anxiety as she likes to chew when someone isn’t around. The other issue is I had to mark her as a dangerous dog for a completely accidental incident that my neighbors would vouch for but I had no way of fighting it in court.

Sheva

Akita

Female, Adult

Marietta, OH

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,

Story

Sheva (whose real name is Sheba) is a beautiful 3-1/2 year old female Akita mix who was surrendered by her owner to the Washington County Ohio Dog Warden on November 19, 2024 because she could no longer physically take care of Sheva. Sheva has a dense/thick white coat with subtle tan shading, a long fluffy tail, and an adorable face with large blue eyes, a liver-colored nose, and small erect ears. Sheva's left ear is deformed (most likely due to an old ear infection or a hematoma). These photos were taken on November 22, 2024 when HSOV Volunteer Emma Dahlgren accompanied Sheva for outdoor pictures. The weather was bitter cold that day with brisk winds, but Sheva didn't seem to notice since her heavy/dense coat kept her warm .. And she was oblivious of the fact that Emma and our photographer were shivering while waiting for her to pose pretty for the camera (smile). We don't know yet how Sheva feels about children, cats, and other dogs since that information was not provided when she was surrendered. Sheva weighs 40 lbs. She will be spayed before being adopted by her new family. Sheva is looking for a loving home with an experienced individual/family who is familiar with the Akita breed. She could be fostered while she awaits her spay procedure with an approved HSOV adoption/foster application. Update: Sheva went home with a foster family on December 24, 2024. Sheva is still available for adoption. If you would like to adopt this beautiful girl, please complete an HSOV adoption application and submit for approval. Once approved, we will make arrangements with Sheva's foster family to bring her to the shelter for a meet-and-greet to see if she is the 'girl of your dreams'. Sheva came back from her foster home on Christmas Day through no fault of her own since her foster mother was allergic to her.
