Vixen (Neutered) German Shepherd Dog & Belgian Shepherd / Malinois Mix Marietta, OH

Vixen is an adorable 2-1/2 year old male German Shepherd/possible Belgian Malinois mix who was found on Barth Road in the Belpre Ohio area along with his best friend (Comet). These boys had been wandering around that neighborhood for awhile and befriended a kind family who made sure they did not go hungry. Thanks to a Good Samaritan who gained their trust and kept them safe, they were brought to the HSOV on November 3, 2023. Neither of these guys were wearing a collar, and they were not microchipped.

Vixen has as 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.

Both Vixen & Comet have friendly, playful personalities and were a pleasure to watch (and photograph), Much to our delight, they were somewhat of a comedy team at times during their photo session. HSOV Kennel Tech Emily Beaver escorted Vixen and HSOV Lead Canine Kennel Tech Jared Nash accompanied Comet for their outdoor pictures later in the afternoon on November 3rd.

Both of these big boys loved attention from Emily & Jared. Vixen appears to be the loving 'little brother' type who looks up to Comet for comfort/security.

Vixen weighs 54.2 lbs and is the smaller of the pair.

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

If they are not reclaimed, we'd love to see Vixen & Comet adopted together.

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 their 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.
