About Loaf

Loaf is a striking 5-year-old male Australian Shepherd mix who joined the Humane Society of the Ohio Valley after being found wandering without a collar or microchip. He has a captivating tan-and-white medium-haired coat sprinkled with red ticking on his chest and front legs, complemented by a long, fluffy tail and a charming Shepherd face adorned with dark brown eyes and large, floppy ears. At around 55 lbs, Loaf has a sweet, easygoing demeanor that shines through in his interactions with others. He recently enjoyed a 'spa day' that transformed his coat from matted to magnificent. Loaf displayed friendly curiosity towards other dogs during his outdoor photo session and showed himself to be a true gentleman. His personality is as lovely as his looks. He is currently being held as a stray for a required period, giving his original family a chance to reunite with him if they provide proof of ownership.
