Comet & Vixen (Neutered) (Comet Adopted 11/15/2023) German Shepherd Dog Marietta, OH

This handsome pair of male German Shepherd dogs were found on Barth Road in the Belpre Ohio area and had been wandering around that neighborhood for awhile. Thanks to a Good Samaritan who gained their trust, they were brought to the HSOV on November 3, 2023. Neither of these guys were wearing a collar, and they were not microchipped. Our kennel techs have dubbed them Comet & Vixen.

Comet is estimated to be 5-6 years old. He has a brown/tan coat with subtle dark brown/black shading, a long tail, and a classic German Shepherd face with black shading on his muzzle and extra-large ears which he holds erect. Comet weighs 71 lbs.

Vixen is estimated to be 2-3 year old. He has dark brown coat, a long tail, and an adorable dark brown face with black shading on his muzzle, and large ears that he usually holds in a semi-erect position. Vixen weighs 54.2 lbs.

Comet & Vixen were somewhat of a comedy team at times during their photo session. HSOV Lead Canine Kennel Tech Jared Nash accompanied Comet while HSOV Kennel Tech Emily Beaver escorted Vixen for their outdoor pictures later in the afternoon on November 3rd.

Both Comet & Vixen have friendly, playful personalities and were a pleasure to watch (and photograph) them together. These big boys loved attention from Jared & Emily.

We managed to capture a couple of pictures of the boys together .. Comet was quite the clown when he made multiple efforts to photo-bomb Vixen's individual pictures (so we've included a few of those 'bloopers').

We will also post individual photos of Comet & Vixen.

In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Comet & Vixen will be held for three days so that their family will have an opportunity to reclaim them with proof of ownership.

We've learned that Comet is actually Vixen's biological father.

UPDATE: Comet and Vixen were neutered on November 14, 2023 and were also given rabies vaccine. Comet was adopted by his foster family on November 15th. But they changed their mind about adopting Comet's biological son Vixen. So Vixen is still looking for a fabulous home.
