About Flame

Meet Flame, a striking one-year-old male Australian Shepherd mix. He arrived at the Humane Society of the Ohio Valley on September 22, 2026, after being found wandering on Elm Street in Belpre, Ohio. Unfortunately, he didn’t have any identification, including a microchip, so he’s on the lookout for a forever home. Flame sports a beautiful medium-haired coat that is a lovely blend of brown and black, highlighted by a charming patch of white on his chest and paws. His fluffy tail adds to his appeal, and those pale sky blue eyes and large floppy ears make him incredibly endearing. Known to be sociable and sweet, Flame enjoys being around people and is notably great with children. He can be a bit shy and timid, requiring a gentle touch and plenty of love to help him thrive. Reports indicate he's likely to weigh between 40-45 lbs. Flame is still learning the ropes of leash walking, but he's eager to please and takes it in stride. Flame hasn’t been altered yet, and his vaccinations are pending due to his recent arrival. With an adoption fee of $150, Flame is ready for a fresh start with someone who can shower him with the affection he craves. What are you waiting for? Apply today!
