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. Update: Sheva went home with a foster family on January 3, 2025 who plans to adopt her after she is spayed. Sheva came back to HSOV on January 8, 2025 since her foster family wanted a smaller dog. They reported that Sheva was a very well-behaved girl in their home and that she loved the snow. Sheva was good with older children that she interacted with. Sheva went home with a foster family on February 1, 2025 who plans to adopt her after she is spayed.

Story
Sheva (whose real name is Sheba) is a beautiful female Akita mix (approximately 4-years old) who was surrendered by her owner to the Washington County Ohio Dog Warden on November 19, 2024 because she was physically unable to take care of her beloved pet. 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 withered (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). Sheva is a fairly small girl who weighs 40 lbs. This little sweetheart has spent time in foster homes, and we’ve learned that Sheva is good with other dogs as well as older children. She has been well-behaved and is housetrained. Sheva LOVES the snow! Sheba will be spayed before being officially adopted and could be fostered-to-adopt (with an approved HSOV adoption/foster application) while she awaits her spay procedure.

Story
Sienna is a beautiful 2-year old female Husky/Shepherd mix who was brought to the HSOV on December 30, 2024 by a Good Samaritan who found her in the vicinity of Fourth Street in Marietta Ohio. Sienna was not wearing a collar, and she was not microchipped. Sienna has a tan short smooth coat with cream-colored highlights, a long tail, and an adorable face with bi-colored eyes, a slender muzzle with black shading and a dusting of white with cute black freckles. She has short semi-erect ears. Sienna's left eye is brown and her right eye is blue .. which gives her a unique facial appearance. This lovely girl has a super friendly, outgoing personality. Sienna loved attention from HSOV Volunteer Angel Grosklos who spent time with her in lobby of our shelter for photos on New Year's Day since the frigid weather was not conducive to taking outdoor pictures that day. Sienna made the most of her time with Angel and especially loved their "couch time' which Sienna enjoyed immensely .. And she gave Angel some sweet 'puppy kisses' as thanks for showering her with attention. Sienna was a little too busy socializing that afternoon to step on the scales, but she likely weighs 50 lbs or so. Update: Sienna weighed 56 lbs during her intake procedures. Sienna's photos were posted on our HSOV Facebook pages the day she arrived. We had hoped that someone would recognize her and help us reunite Sienna with her family .. But nobody called or came looking for this beautiful girl.
