About Ohshi

Ohshi is a sweet, large boxer and pit bull terrier mix living in Lisbon, OH. At about seven years old, she weighs in around 55 lbs and wears a short, tan and cream coat. Her story is a tough one—she and her friend were left at the shelter after hours by owners caught up in a complicated dispute. Despite that rocky start, Ohshi has shown herself to be affectionate and friendly once she knows you. With new people, she can be a bit timid or standoffish, but it doesn’t take long for her to warm up and show her playful, funny side. She especially loves toys, is crate trained, and knows how to be a good house companion. Ohshi gets along well with other dogs and is happiest when she feels safe and secure with her people. She is protective and will make anyone feel safe at home. She enjoys walks—just be sure to use a harness because of her collapsing trachea. If you’re in the area and looking to adopt, you’ll need to visit in person and fill out an application with the shelter directly. Ohshi is ready for a loving family to give her the stability she deserves. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
