German Shorthaired Pointer and Beagle Dogs Available for Adoption in Hillsboro, Ohio

🐄 Meet the Cow Puppies! 🐄

The Cow Puppies came to us as tiny bottle babies about six weeks ago after our local dog warden reached out for help. 🍼🐶 They did have a mother, but sadly she was not socialized with people. Because of that, she was interfering with the ability to properly care for the puppies, and we knew that if they stayed with her they would likely grow up fearful and possibly aggressive toward people.

So we stepped in, and thanks to some wonderful foster homes these little ones have spent the last six weeks learning exactly what being loved by humans is all about. ❤️🏡 They've grown into social, affectionate, happy-go-lucky puppies who greet the world with wagging tails and zero worries. 🐶💛

They've experienced life in homes, met kids 👧🧒, and been around other animals 🐾, helping them develop into well-rounded puppies. Now that they've graduated from foster care, they're ready to find families of their very own. 🎓🐕

For once, we were actually able to see both parents! Mom was a black-and-white, roughly 50-lb dog who looked like a German Shorthaired Pointer mix. Dad was a white-and-brown dog, also over 50 lbs, who appeared to be a German Shorthaired Pointer or possibly a hound mix. Some of the puppies even have a bit of a Beagle-like build. 🐕 In other words: adorable mystery mutts with lots of charm.

Right now they range from about 7-12 lbs. ⚖️ Based on their parents' size, we estimate they'll grow to be 40+ lbs when full grown, though with mixed breeds we can never guarantee size or breed.

Because their spotted coats reminded us of tiny cows, we named them after different cattle breeds. 🐄
