Shetland is a beautiful 4-year old+ female Mastiff mix old+ who was brought to the HSOV on October 21, 2025 by a Good Samaritan who had found her along State Route 26 in Washington County Ohio. Shetland was not wearing a collar, and she was not microchipped. This lovely girl has a tan short smooth coat with a coarse texture, a long tail, and an adorable face with soulful brown eyes, subtle black/white shading on her large muzzle, and short floppy ears. Shetland weighs 79 lbs and epitomizes the oft-used phrase 'gentle giant' (smile). Shetland walks fairly well on a leash and was ready for an outing with HSOV Volunteer Carla Perry when these photos were taken on October 28, 2025. Shetland is an accomplished 'howler' with a melodious voice which was music to Carla's ears, so naturally she offered to take Shetland for a walk and also to give her extra TLC ... And the paparazzi tagged along when she saw an opportunity to take out-of-kennel pictures of Shetland. We noticed while Shetland was enjoying her adventure that she appears to be hearing- and perhaps vision-impaired. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Shetland was held for the mandatory three-day stray hold so that her family would have an opportunity to reclaim her with proof of ownership. Since she was not reclaimed, Shetland is now available for foster or foster-to-adopt. She will be spayed before an adoption is finalized. Update: Shetland went home with a foster family on November 8th who offered her a temporary home while she awaits her forever home. If you would like to meet Shetland in person, please complete an HSOV foster/adoption application for approval so that we may arrange a meet-and-greet with Shetland. Be prepared to fall in love with this big sweetheart. Shetland went home with another foster family on November 14th 2025. Shetland is good with other dogs, cats, and children. She is also housetrained.
