Friends of the Highland County Dog Pound lists available dogs and puppies as of Sept. 30

The Highland County Dog Pound has the following dogs available for adoption or rescue pulls as of Sept. 30, listed courtesy of the Friends of the Highland County Dog Pound. 

(1) Brownie: Brownie is a beagle mix who weighs around 30 lbs. She is less than a year old, most likely 6 months or so. Brownie was adopted from us then surrendered back due to the owner said he could not get her potty trained. Brownie is very sweet and does well with other dogs.

(2) Ozzy: Ozzy is a pit bull type dog who weighs 53 lbs. He is around 7 years old. Ozzy came to us in a not-so-great condition. He was very skinny, and he has some hair loss on his back end. Right before we found Ozzy, a roadworker saved him from getting hit by a truck who had no intentions on stopping for Ozzy to move. Despite his past, he is one of the sweetest dogs we have, very gentle and all-around good boy. Ozzy seems to do well with other dogs. We really don't think Ozzy has a mean bone in his body. Ozzy loves toys, chew bones and big beds with blankets. Ozzy also may be crate trained or even house trained as he does not potty in his kennel at all. Sweet boy.

(3) Tiger: Tiger is a mixed breed. He is around 5 years old, weighing 36 lbs. Tiger has been good with other dogs here.

(4) Nira: Nira is a German shepherd mix who is 8 years old and weighs 60 lbs. She is very sweet and social. She is good with other dogs, cats and children as she has previously lived with all three. Nira is already spayed.

(5) Ninja Turtle: Ninja is a mixed breed who weighs around 50 lbs. and is about 2-3 years old. Ninja would be OK with dogs that are his size, but no cats or small dogs. He is friendly with all people and loves toys. 

(6) Cruella: Cruella came to us as a stray. She is a Husky mix. She is very sweet, and she is good with other dogs. The person who found Cruella said she snuggled on their porch all night with their cat. Cruella is microchipped; however, there is no information attached to the microchip for an owner. 

(7) Ruffis: Ruffis is a pit bull mix who is around 1-2 years old and weighs 45 lbs. He came to us as a stray with Drako. He is good with other dogs and very friendly with people.

(8) Batman & Robin: Batman & Robin are mixed breeds suspected to be on the smaller side. They are around 5-6 months old and weigh 12-15 lbs. 

(9) Koda: Koda is a German shepherd who is 5 years old and weighs 83 lbs. Koda can be shy at first, but it doesn't take long for him to warm up to people. He is friendly with other dogs and also good with cats and children as he has previously lived with all three.

(10) Dracula: Dracula came to us as a stray. He is a husky mix who seems to be good with other dogs. The person who found them said he snuggled with her cat on her porch all night. 

(11) Luna: Luna is a smaller mixed breed who weighs 33 lbs. She is very sweet and does well with other dogs. Luna is around 5 years old. Luna will need a home with no cats. She is also very good with children. She has lived with an 8–9-year-old. 

(12) Bellatrix, Minerva, Voldemort, Wednesday and Winifred came to us as owner surrenders. They are lab mixes but also may have some Shepherd? Hound? Who knows, but they are too cute. These pups are almost 6 months old and all weigh around 30 lbs. They are all good with cats and children.
