Abyssinian is a cute female Labrador Retriever/Husky mix puppy who was brought to the HSOV on February 15, 2026 along with her seven siblings (Birman, Bombay, Devon Rex, Maine Coon, Munchkin, Ragdoll, and Sphynx). These beautiful puppies were found fending for themselves on River Lane near Marietta Ohio. Fortunately a Good Samaritan found these youngsters and brought them to the safety of our shelter. The puppies were estimated to have been 10-weeks old at that time. Abyssinian has a sleek black shorthaired coat with white markings on her chest, white toes/paws, a long tail, and an adorable puppy face with hopeful, innocent eyes, a dusting of white on her chin, a slender muzzle, and semi-erect ears. This little sweetheart has a lovable, playful puppy personality. Abyssinian and her brothers/sisters are sharing their very own room in a quiet area of our shelter, and they are always romping/playing to their heart's content. These photos of Abyssinian were taken on March 31, 2026. Thanks to HSOV Kennel Techs Liz Stingley and Lauryn Hamilton for assisting each of the puppies with their 'big boy/big girl' pictures that day (and for providing carry-out service to/from their room). HSOV is currently accepting applications for these adorable youngsters. They are available for foster-to-adopt with an approved HSOV foster/adoption application .. And they will be spayed/neutered before they are officially adopted by their foster family. Update: Abyssinian went home with a foster family on April 30, 2026 who plans to adopt her after she is spayed. Unfortunately Abyssinian came back to HSOV on May 1st 2026 through no fault of her own. Her foster dad reported that Abyssinian had gotten along extremely well with the other dog in his home.
