Sheva (Special Needs Deaf/Hearing-Impaired)

Sheva (whose real name is Sheba) is a beautiful female Akita mix (approximately 4-years old) who was surrendered by her owner to the Washington County Ohio Dog Warden on November 19, 2024 because she was physically unable to take care of her beloved pet. Sheva has a dense/thick white coat with subtle tan shading, a long fluffy tail, and an adorable face with large blue eyes, a liver-colored nose, and small erect ears. Sheva's left ear is withered (most likely due to an old ear infection or a hematoma). These photos were taken on November 22, 2024 when HSOV Volunteer Emma Dahlgren accompanied Sheva for outdoor pictures. The weather was bitter cold that day with brisk winds, but Sheva didn't seem to notice since her heavy/dense coat kept her warm .. And she was oblivious of the fact that Emma and our photographer were shivering while waiting for her to pose pretty for the camera (smile). Sheva is a fairly small girl who weighs 40 lbs. This little sweetheart has spent time in foster homes, and we’ve learned that Sheva is good with other dogs as well as older children. She has been well-behaved and is housetrained. Sheva LOVES the snow! Sheba will be spayed before being officially adopted and could be fostered-to-adopt (with an approved HSOV adoption/foster application) while she awaits her spay procedure.
