Meet Sasha! 🌟 At just 3 years old, Sasha has already overcome so much. She was picked up by Franklin County in April after being hit by a car on I-670, suffering pelvic and hip fractures. But this brave girl didn’t let that stop her! 💪🐾 She’s fully healed and runs, plays, and enjoys life to the fullest. Sasha’s a spayed German Shepherd with a big heart and a big personality.

She loves a good game of tug, chasing Jolly balls, and keeping watch over her yard like a true Shepherd queen. 👑 Her foster mom says Sasha has come a long way with patience, structure, and training. She’s working with trainer and learning that the world isn’t such a scary place. She needs someone experienced who understands the strong, loyal spirit of a GSD. ✅ Crate trained ✅ Great in the yard with a secure fence ✅ Sweet, affectionate, and hilarious once she trusts you 🚫 Best in a home without small kids or small animals Sasha’s perfect match?

Story

Meet Jerry! Jerry originally came to us as a stray, but was surrendered to us by his breeder along with his brother Ben. We are still getting to know Jerry, but so far he is a friendly, sweet little guy just ready to find his furever home. Jerry's previous owner said that he does well with children and other dogs. He is a young puppy, and is looking for a home prepared to invest some time and training to make him the perfect canine citizen we know he can be. If you have other animals in your home, we recommend bringing them in to do a meet and greet before taking Jerry home. If you are interested in meeting Jerry, please submit an adoption form on our website: fairfieldcountydogs.com and we will contact you to arrange a time to visit. Primary Color: Brindle Secondary Color: White Weight: 50.125 Age: 0yrs 7mths 2wks
