Possible B Mixes in Hillsboro, OH Dog Pound

I so hope they can find a home that will treasure them.

Oh my god! I've just found this posting. Does anyone know anything about Spencer? He is adorable and I'd LOVE to see if he and Shango would make good brothers! I'll call tomorrow!

They both are very sweet. I hope this is a good fit for you Andrew good luck.

I just called and Spencer is still there….I reserved a time to go look at him and working it out for this Saturday. The woman said though he's listed as a Bull Terrier mix, everyone who meets him says he's a basenji!

Way to go Andrew and I really hope it works out he is cute. I have high hopes for you to enlarge your family.

I saw Spencer briefly over the weekend. He was in a larger wire crate with Olivia. He seems to be a nice boy but needs socialization, like walking on a leash. He basically crawled on the ground for awhile but I was able to get him to walk like a normal dog. They stated that he was getting better at this as they were working with him on it. I was able to check his teeth and play with his paws with no problem. His tail is long and was down like a Whippet but as he became more relaxed it became more upright like the letter "C". He has dewclaws, including one rear one that will need to removed as it is loose and could get ripped. It can be removed during neuter surgery. They both gave me kisses through the crate. A child came up to the crate and both dogs were excited and got up to be petted. It appears he may have been around children in the past. I estimate him to be 9 months old or even a little older as he is more mature and less excitable than Olivia who I estimate to be 6 months old. I think he weighs between 20-25 lbs as he does not seem as heavy as my males who weigh 25-28 lbs.
He is still intact and the estimate to get him done in that area I believe was $80-90, which is much cheaper than I can have it done at my vets. He has had his shots and I think deworming except for Rabies and if you are taking him across state lines, you need to have it done. He will also need to tested for HW and started on medication. My vet starts Bs on HW no later than they are 6 months old without testing but since Spencer was a stray and the mosquitos have been bad with all the rain lately, I would suggest testing before starting him on it. I would also recommend deworming with Panacur as it will treat Giardia in addition to worms. I did give them a donation for Spencer's initial vetting and vaccines.
Spencer seems like a sweet boy and if I was not full with Bs and if he would have been already neutered, I probably would have taken him home this past weekend. The pound did have room this week as it was not full.

GREAT! I've just e-mailed you

Olivia looks a lot like the Basenji (mix) I just adopted from MN.
Too precious.
Praying that Spencer will be what you are looking for Andrew. He needs a good home and you seem like the person who can provide it.I can't look at these rescues anymore - it is just breaking my heart.
