The Highland County Dog Pound has the following dogs available for adoption or rescue beginning November 4, courtesy of the Friends of the Highland County Dog Pound.
The transport date is November 7.
(1) Spirit: Spirit came to us as a wanderer. He is 1-2 years old and weighs 42 pounds. Ghost gets along great with other dogs, as he is actually in a kennel with one dog due to our lack of space. We’re not sure of his breed, but maybe a Great Dane. A very friendly guy. He walks well on a leash and he knows “SIT” and will do so when you stop.
(2) Bonnie: Bonnie is a pit mix about 2 years old and weighs about 40 lbs. We got her as a stray and had six puppies. She is a very sweet girl who likes to be outside. She gets along well with other dogs.
Wednesday, Blade, Oatis
(3) Wednesday: She is a pit mix about 3 years old and weighs about 50 lbs. She was found as a stray. While she waited for a kennel to open with us, she was in a house with cats and chickens, and she was doing great with them. She is also good with other dogs. We’re so overwhelmed here that we haven’t had a chance to take more photos yet, but we can send some to you. Just tell us you’re interested in helping her find a great home.
(4) Blade: Blade is a pit mix weighing approximately 50 lbs. He was found as a stray, dumped in a local state park. He was very scared and wouldn’t let anyone come within five feet of him, although you could tell he wanted to be helped. We set a trap and ran far enough away to see him, and he went straight in. Blade has started to shine since he got here and now loves everyone he meets. Blade did well here with other dogs.
(5) Oatis: Oatis are a sweet mix that is approximately 2-3 years old and weighs 42 pounds. He seems to do fine with other dogs because he doesn’t really pay attention to them. Intake date: 16-08-23. Please help Oatis find a home; he’s been here too long. Oatis will be neutered on Monday, November 4.

(6) Jasmine: Jasmine is a boxer mix who is approximately 4 years old and weighs 41 pounds. Jasmine seems to be doing great with other dogs here at the shelter. It seems like she just wants to play.

(8) Flopsy: Flopsy is a beautiful pit girl who is 2-3 years old and weighs 25 kg. Flopsy got her name because when you go to pet her, she plops down on the floor and wants all the belly rubs you give her. She loves people and has a very loving personality. This sweet girl has never shown any aggression and she seems to get along well with other dogs. Intake date: 8-3-24.

(10) Hank: Hank owned and we think he is a boxer mix and he weighs 38 kg. and he is 8-9 years old. He is very kind to people, but does not get along well with SMALL dogs. Larger dogs would be fine. Intake date: 2-8-23.
Tiger
(11) Tiger: Tiger is a mixed breed weighing 38 lbs. and about 1-2 years old. Tiger is a sweetheart and might not do well if he was the only dog because he loves dog friends.
Benni, Rose, Doel
(12) Benni: Benni came to us as a wanderer whom we had to trap. He is approximately 1-2 years old and weighs only 30 pounds. He is very friendly and will try to crawl next to you or climb onto your lap. He may be fearful and behave as if his previous owners may not have been very nice. Please help Benni so he can see that there are nice people out there.
(13) Rose: We think Rose could be Benni’s sister since they came within a mile of each other. Rose is also about 1-2 years old and only weighs 23 pounds! She’s also friendly once she gets to know you.
(14) Target: If you’ve been a long-time follower, you may have seen Target a few times before. Target is such a sweet dog and is looking for his forever home. He’s been through so much and is still great. He still gets along fine with other dogs. He has been in and out of the shelter through no fault of his own, just because of poor owners. If you can help one dog, please think of Target.
Butch
(15) Butch: Butch is a Boxer mix weighing approximately 60-70 lbs. He was found as a drifter who had been running our city for months. He didn’t want to be with anyone, except an older couple who won his trust. Butch is a nice dog who knows the meaning of sit and shake. He gets along well with other dogs here at the dog daycare. Good boy.

(18) Howie: Howie is a handsome dog who arrived as a stray. He is about 3 years old and weighs 52 pounds. He is timid around people, probably because of his previous contact with people, but he is calming down and gaining confidence every day. Walking on a leash, sitting and petting have helped him to be less distant. He is not aggressive at all. He’s a handsome guy. He will be someone’s best friend.
