Crusty (Photos (Indoor Photos May 25 2026) - Terrier Dog Available for Adoption in Marietta, Ohio

Crusty is an adorable 10-year old male Terrier mix who was brought to the HSOV on May 23, 2026 by a Good Samaritan who found him in New Matamoras Ohio (exact location is unknown). Crusty was not wearing a collar, and he was not microchipped.

Crusty has a black wiry-haired coat with a patch of white on his chest, rather short legs, a short tail, and the cutest frosty Terrier face with dark brown eyes, silver eyebrows, short floppy ears, a black button nose, and a slender muzzle.

These preliminary indoor photos of Crusty were taken on May 25th, and he was quite the gentleman while he posed for pictures in his large floor crate. Even though his 'neighbors' in adjacent crates were giving our photographer their best "21 bark salute", Crusty was quiet as he innocently gazed at the camera lens.

Crusty weighs 20 lbs and is a petite little man when you see him in person.

In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Crusty was held for the mandatory three-day stray hold so that his family would have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership. Surprisingly, nobody called or came looking for Crusty.

Crusty was in desperate need of a dental procedure when he entered our shelter .. So since he was not reclaimed, he will be seeing one of our wonderful local veterinarians in the future (tentatively on June 2nd). Crusty will be available as a foster-to-adopt after he recuperates from that surgery.
