Highland County Dog Pound Lists Dipstick and Other Energetic Dogs for Adoption

The Friends of the Highland County Dog Pound published an available-dog list on Feb. 24, 2026 that highlighted several dogs and puppies ready for adoption or transport, and one spotlighted dog was named Dipstick. Highlandcountypress also posted a transport date, noting simply, "Transport date is Feb. 12," though that line does not specify year or which animals it applied to.

Dipstick is described in the listing as a 2-year-old weighing 55 lbs and bursting with drive for an active household. The profile reads, "He’s a very active, super energetic pup who would absolutely thrive in a home where he can run, play, and burn off his zoomies every day." The same material adds, "Dipstick is not just all energy, though —he’s incredibly sweet, affectionate and loves his people," and concludes with, "If you’re looking for a fun, active companion, Dipstick is ready to keep up."

The list also featured Blossom, a 3-year-old mixed breed presented as high-energy and people-focused. Blossom’s entry states, "She’s a 3-year-old mixed breed with a big heart and lots of energy to share" and notes, "Blossom is playful, happy, and would thrive with an active family who loves walks, adventures, and playtime." The listing emphasizes her affectionate side after activity, saying, "Once she gets her zoomies out, she’s all sweetness and love," and adds, "If you’re looking for a fun, loyal companion—Blossom might be your girl."

Boss rounds out the named trio on the available list as a 3-year-old mixed-breed hound and is specifically noted as neutered. His profile opens, "Boss is a 3-year-old mixed-breed hound with a heart of gold and the sweetest personality," then details that, "He’s neutered, affectionate, and loves attention—especially from people who are ready to spend time with him." The listing also flags Boss’s activity needs: "Boss does have some energy and would thrive with an active owner who enjoys walks, playtime, and keeping him engaged," and adds, "True to his hound roots, he’s curious, fun-loving, and always ready for his next adventure."

The Feb. 24, 2026 posting presented these animals as ready for adoption or transport; Highlandcountypress’s separate line "Transport date is Feb. 12" appears alongside that reporting but does not identify the year or which dogs it covers.
