Story
Neptune is a magnificent 3-year old male American Staffordshire Terrier who was surrendered by his owner on August 29, 2024. Neptune may look familiar to some of our volunteers and Facebook fans since Neptune was originally bought to the HSOV on December 14, 2023 after he was found on State Route 7 in the Marietta/Reno Ohio area. Neptune was not wearing a collar, but a microchip was detected. Our shelter staff attempted to locate his owner through the microchip data but was unable to do so since the individual to whom the microchip was registered had re-homed Neptune to a 'friend-of-a-friend' and no longer had any contact information (sigh). This handsome guy has a sleek chocolate brown-and-white coat, white markings on his legs/paws, a long tail with a white tip on the end, and a beautiful symmetrically-marked face with dark brown eyes, a chocolate nose on his pink/white muzzle, and cute 'cartoon ears'. You cannot look at Neptune's mischievous-looking face without smiling. Neptune has a playful, fun-loving personality. Thanks to HSOV Kennel Tech Emily Beaver who accompanied Neptune for his outdoor photos on December 16th. Neptune thoroughly enjoyed his '15-minutes of fame' and (like all of the HSOV dogs), he loved Emily. Neptune weighs 62 lbs and is strong on the other end of a leash. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Neptune was held for three days so that his family would have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership. Since Neptune was not reclaimed, he was neutered on February 15, 2024 and was also given rabies vaccine. We did our usual 'Happy Dance' when Neptune was adopted on March 2, 2024 .. But Neptune's time in his new home was short-lived since he was returned to HSOV on April 24, 2024. It seems that Neptune was jumping the fence in his new home and making un-wanted social visits with his neighbors' dogs (and was not playing nice) ... So we would suggest Neptune find a home that he would not have to share with other dogs or be allowed to leaving his property unleashed. Neptune is a happy boy with a very outgoing personality. We were happy for Neptune when he was adopted on June 26, 2024 .. And we were sad for Neptune when he came back to HSOV on August 29, 2024 through no fault of his own. Neptune was loved by his new family

Story
Dezik is a handsome 2-year old male American Pit Bull Terrier/American Staffordshire Terrier who was surrendered by his owner on August 1, 2024 along with Dezik's beautiful companion (Laika) since their family was no longer in a position to take care of their beloved pets. Dezik has a sleek black coat with a large white bib on his chest, a rather long body, a long tail, and an adorable chubby face with dark brown eyes, a splash of white on his muzzle, a blue/charcoal gray nose, and short floppy ears. Dezik has the cutest 'smile'. Dezik is a happy boy with a friendly, easygoing personality. He was the perfect gentleman when HSOV Kennel Tech Tim Swaney accompanied him for his photo session on August 2nd 2024. Dezik weighs 65 lbs and walked well on a leash with Tim by his side. Dezik appears to be housetrained. Dezik will be neutered before being adopted by his new family (a requirement for HSOV adoptions to be finalized). Dezik could be fostered while he awaits his neuter procedure with an approved HSOV foster-/adoption application.

Story
Nader is a beautiful 4-year old female American Staffordshire Terirer who was brought to the HSOV on September 9, 2024 after she was found on Franklin Street in Marietta Ohio. Nader was wearing a collar but there was neither an id tag nor a dog license tag on her collar .. And she was not microchipped. Nader has a sleek auburn/brown short smooth coat with white marking on her neck/check, a long thin tail, and an adorable chubby Staffordshire face with amber-colored eyes, a red/liver-colored nose, and semi-erect ears. This sweet girl has a friendly disposition and loves attention. Nader enjoyed soft plush stuffed toys during her first day in our shelter even though she plays rough with them and they don't survive very long. These photos of Nader were taken late in the afternoon on September 9, 2024 when HSOV Lead Canine Kennel Tech Jared Nash accompanied Nader for outdoor glamour pictures. Nader ran a few laps around Jared to show off her 'body beautiful' then decided needed some more attention from Jared .. And quickly rewarded him with some nice doggy kisses. Nader is a full-figured girl who currently weighs 76.2 lbs. She walked fairly well on a leash for Jared. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Nader will be held for three days so that her family will have an opportunity to reclaim her with proof of ownership. We hope that her family (or someone will recognize her and help us reunited Nader with her people). She is very sad being in an unfamiliar place and cries for attention when she is left alone.

Story
Mordy is a magnificent 6-year old male American Staffordshire Terrier who was surrendered by his owner on September 24, 2024 because he was no longer able to take care of Mordy due to landlord/housing issues. This handsome boy has a pale brown/brindle short smooth coat with white markings on his chest/paws, a long tail, and an adorable chubby Staffordshire face with brown eyes, a blue/gray nose, and short semi-erect ears. Mordy has the appearance of being slightly 'cross-eyed' which gives him the cutest facial expressions. There's just something about Mordy that makes you want to hug him and hold him close. Mordy has a sweet, affectionate personality. His owner told us that Mordy was good with children, and it appears that he is good with other dogs (but not cats). Mordy has been kept indoors and is housebroken. He has some anxiety issues .. Not sure if Mordy has separation anxiety issues since it was not exactly specified. These photos of Mordy were taken on September 23, 2024 when HSOV Kennel Tech Wyatt Valentine accompanied him for outdoor pictures that afternoon. Mordy was in love with Wyatt (and vice versa) and adored attention from him. Mordy is a big boy who weighs 77 lbs. He has already been neutered, so he could leave our shelter immediately with an approved HSOV Foster- or Adoption Application.

Story
Gloria is a beautiful 2-year old female American Staffordshire Terrier mix who was brought to the HSOV on November 3, 2024 by a Washington County Ohio Deputy Sheriff. Gloria was picked up on Whealdon Road in the Cutler Ohio area. She was wearing a collar but there was neither an id tag nor a dog license tag on her collar ... And she was not microchipped. Gloria has a pale brown/gray brindle short smooth coat with a patch of white on her chest, a long tail, and an adorable chubby face with pale brown eyes, a narrow white stripe on her forehead, a splash of white on her muzzle, a blue/charcoal gray nose, and large floppy ears. Thanks to HSOV Volunteer Emma Dahlgren for taking this sweet girl out for preliminary photos. Gloria was quite friendly but understandably very nervous/frightened being in an unfamiliar place. These photos were taken late in the afternoon on November 3rd (after Daylight Savings Time went into effect) and the daylight was already disappearing, so we realize the pictures are somewhat marginal. But hopefully someone will recognize her and contact HSOV with any information about her. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Gloria 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.
