Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption

Clove is a cute female puppy who made her debut into the world on November 10, 2025 when her beautiful mother (Autumn) gave birth to Clove and her 10 brothers/sisters. Momma Autumn had been brought to the HSOV on November 4th 2025 after she was found on Colegate Drive in Marietta Ohio. We were thankful that Autumn was safely in our shelter and was pampered with good food and nice warm blankets while she awaited the birth of her babies. Autumn had several mid-wives (our staff and kennel techs) who were always willing to help her raise the youngsters. Sadly one of Autumn's female puppies (Cocoa) passed away on November 12th.

Clove has a shiny black coat with a few coarse hairs on her chest, a long tail, and an adorable face with soulful brown eyes (which appear to be enhanced with gray eyeliner), a black button nose, and floppy ears which are fringed with curls.

Clove and her siblings have affectionate, super playful personalities. Since they are fully weaned, Clove and her brothers/sisters are sharing a large 'apartment' together where they play non-stop until they 'crash' for group naps.

HSOV is currently accepting adoption applications for Clove (and her siblings).

Clove will be spayed before being officially adopted by her new family. She could be fostered-to-adopt while she is awaiting her spay appointment with an approved HSOV foster/adoption application.

The mixed breed dogs, often referred to as mutts, are a diverse and unique group with a blend of different characteristics from various purebred dog breeds. These dogs come from a mixture of lineages, resulting in a wide range of sizes, coat types, and temperaments. While each mixed breed dog is distinct in its own right, they are known for their resilience, adaptability, and often have fewer health issues compared to purebred dogs due to their genetic diversity. Mixed breed dogs make wonderful companions for families looking for a loyal and one-of-a-kind pet.
