Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption

Red is an adorable male puppy who made his debut into the world on November 10, 2025 when his beautiful mother (Autumn) gave birth to Red and his 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.

Red has an auburn/brown coat, a long tail, and a beautiful face with dark brown eyes, a long slender muzzle, and large floppy ears. His right back paw is white which identifies him from his brothers.

Red and his siblings have super sweet, super playful personalities. Since they are fully weaned, Red and his 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 Red (and his siblings).

Red will be neutered before being officially adopted by his new family. He could be fostered-to-adopt while he is awaiting his neuter 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.
