German Shorthaired Pointer Dogs Available for Adoption

Delta is a beautiful 2-year old female German Shorthaired Pointer who was brought to the HSOV and placed in an outdoor kennel after closing hours on February 14, 2026. Delta was not wearing a collar, and she was not microchipped.

This little beauty has a chocolate brown/liver-colored coat with brown/liver-and-white ticking, a short docked tail, and a classic German Shorthaired Pointer face with dark brown eyes, a narrow white stripe on her muzzle, a brown/liver-colored nose, and large floppy ears.

Delta has a happy, outgoing personality and was full of playful energy when HSOV Shelter Manager Tracy Lynn Moore accompanied her for outdoor pictures on February 14th. Delta demonstrated her pointing skills several times during her photo session (smile).

Delta appears to be housetrained since she quickly 'took care of business' as soon as she stepped into a grassy area and before she posed for her glamour pictures.

Delta has a slim build. She was energetic on a leash and loved running laps around HSOV Shelter Manager Tracy Moore.

In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Delta 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.

If she is not reclaimed, we will accept HSOV adoption applications for Delta beginning on February 18, 2026.

Delta will be spayed before being officially adopted (a requirement for HSOV dog/cat adoptions to be finalized).
