Story
Jupiter is a cute 2-year old female Australian Cattle Dog/Red Heeler mix who was brought to the HSOV on December 16, 2023 by a Good Samaritan who found her on Everson Road in the Belpre Ohio area. Jupiter was wearing a bright orange collar but there was neither an id tag nor a dog license tag on her collar ... And she was not microchipped. This little sweetheart has a white short smooth coat which is sprinkled with red ticking, a long tail, and an adorable face with red ticking/freckles, a liver-colored nose, and semi-erect ears. Jupiter's left eye is blue while her right eye is brown, which gives her such an endearing appearance. Jupiter has a friendly, rather demure, personality, and she is understandably a bit frightened being in an unfamiliar place with new people that she doesn't yet realize are her new best friends. HSOV Kennel Tech Mckayla spent time with Jupiter in the shelter lobby for preliminary photos on December 19th since the outside temperatures were in the freezing range late that afternoon .. Jupiter was in love with Mckayla and thoroughly attention (and 'good girl' treats) .. but she was puzzled by the paparazzi/photograph experience and couldn't figure out 'what the heck' that was all about. Jupiter weighs 44 lbs. She doesn't appear to have the luxury of learning to walk on a leash, but she is a smart little cookie who will quickly master that new skill. These photos of Jupiter admittedly not the most flattering of this cute girl, but we wanted to share them in hopes that her family is searching for her. We will take outdoor 'glamour shots' at the first opportunity if she is not reclaimed. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Jupiter will be held for three days so that her family will have an opportunity to reclaim her with proof of ownership. UPDATE: Jupiter went home with a foster family on June 12, 2024 who planned to adopt her after she was spayed. Though the family loved Jupiter, they decided she wasn't a good fit for their home since she was a bit too strong/pulled on a leash and she was selective about which dogs she would accept into her circle of friends. Jupiter came back to our shelter on August 2, 2024 and is looking for the perfect home.

Meet Jupiter (Photos 3/12/2024) Jupiter is a cute 2-year old female Australian Cattle Dog/Red Heeler mix who was brought to the HSOV on December 16, 2023 by a Good Samaritan who found her on Everson Road in the Belpre Ohio area. Jupiter was wearing a bright orange collar but there was neither an id tag nor a dog license tag on her collar ... And she was not microchipped.

Jupiter's left eye is blue while her right eye is brown, which gives her such an endearing appearance. Jupiter has a friendly, rather demure, personality. For the first few weeks Jupiter was in our shelter, she was understandably a bit frightened being in an unfamiliar place with new people that she doesn't yet realize were her new best friends. We took preliminary photos of Jupiter on December 19th since the outside temperatures were in the freezing range late that afternoon.. Jupiter thoroughly attention (and 'good girl' treats) .. but she was puzzled by the paparazzi/photograph experience and couldn't figure out 'what the heck' that was all about (smile). Jupiter weighed 44 lbs when we first met her. She didn't appear to have the luxury of learning to walk on a leash, but she was a smart little cookie who quickly mastered that new skill thanks to our compassionate HSOV kennel techs and dedicated volunteers. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Jupiter was held for three days so that her family would have an opportunity to reclaim her with proof of ownership. Sadly, nobody called or came looking for this little sweetheart. These updated photos of Jupiter were taken on March 12, 2024 when she participated in our St Patrick's mini-photo publicity event, and she did her herself proud. Thanks to HSOV Kennel Tech Emily Beaver and HSOV Volunteer Emma Dahlgren for spending time with Jupiter for these 'out of this world' glamour pictures. Jupiter was a pushover for 'good girl' treats and flashed her award-winning smile for the camera. UPDATE: Jupiter went home with a foster family on June 12, 2024 who planned to adopt her after she was spayed. Though the family loved Jupiter, they decided she wasn't a good fit for their home since she was a bit too strong/pulled on a leash and she was selective about which dogs she would accept into her circle of friends.

Story
Simone is a beautiful 3-year old female (possible) Australian Shepherd mix who was brought to the HSOV on August 26, 2024 by a compassionate individual who found her on State Route 676 in the Churchtown area near Marietta Ohio. Simone was dragging an attached leash and, though she was obviously a very scared/frightened girl, she seemed to sense that this Good Samaritan was her guardian angel/savior .. And Simone jumped into her car and was driven to the safety of our shelter. Thanks also to the Washington County Ohio Deputy Sheriff who met them at HSOV and took Simone into the Receiving area of our shelter and made sure she was safe for the night. Simone has a lovely chocolate brown coat with blonde shading, a long tail, and an adorable face with expressive brown eyes, blonde eyebrows, a liver-colored nose, and a long chubby muzzle. Simone has teeny tiny 'folded over' ears which suggest that she might have some Shar-Pei ancestors in her family background. Simone was examined by one of our wonderful local veterinarians on August 28th because she had painful burns/peeling on the pads of her paws when she entered our shelter. Simone is temporary listed as a "Special Needs Dogs" since she is currently on antibiotics and anti-inflammatory/nerve pain medications. Our HSOV staff/kennel techs are soaking her sore feet in an Epsom salts solution each day, and Simone will return to the veterinarian's clinic for a follow-up appointment in a week or so. These photos of Simone were taken on August 30th thanks to HSOV Volunteer Emma Dahlgren who carried Simone outdoors and back to her safe haven so that her sore paws would not touch the hot concrete/gravel. Simone appeared to be housebroken when she was outdoors and quickly 'took care of business' the moment her paws were in the grass. Simone has a rather demure disposition but loves gentle petting and attention. She is enjoying a quiet blanket-filled room of her own (actually the shelter bathroom) while she recuperates from her paw injuries. Simone weighs 40.2 lbs and isn't a very large girl when you see her in person. Simone was spayed on October 1, 2024 and was also given rabies vaccine. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Simone was held for three days so that her family would have an opportunity to reclaim her with proof of ownership .. But nobody called or came looking for this beautiful girl. Update: Simone's paws have healed up nicely, and she is no longer listed as being 'Temporarily Special Needs'. She loves taking walks these days and looks forward to being walked by our staff and volunteers. We've learned that Simone is not good with cats.
