Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Sam! This handsome guy recently came to us as a stray, and we are still getting to know him. So far Sam is a very happy, playful guy and has been fast friends with staff! Sam is an active boy and very food driven; he already knows some basic skills like "sit" and would love to continue learning through positive reinforcement based training! Sam has done well with other dogs and may appreciate a doggy playmate at home to keep him busy. He would do best in a home without cats. If you have other animals in your home, we recommend bringing them in to do a meet and greet before taking Sam home. If you are interested in meeting Sam, please submit an adoption form on our website: fairfieldcountydogs.com and we will contact you to arrange a time to visit.

Sweet Pea

Labrador Retriever

Female, Young

Lancaster, OH

Size

(when grown) -

Details

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Meet Sweet Pea! Sweet Pea was recently surrendered to us with her sister when their owner could no longer care for them. Sweet Pea is a sweet natured, sensitive soul hoping to find her perfect furever family. Sweet Pea has previously spent her life as an outside dog, so she is looking for a patient family that will help her learn the ropes of household life. She is still a young pup, so training and structure will go a long way to teach her potty training and general household manners. She is a nervous girl in the chaotic shelter environment, so she would benefit from positive reinforcement based training and socialization to help boost her confidence. Sweet Pea previously lived with other dogs. If you have other animals in your home, we recommend bringing them in to do a meet and greet before taking Sweet Pea home. If you are interested in meeting Sweet Pea, please submit an adoption form on our website: fairfieldcountydogs.com and we will contact you to arrange a time to visit. Primary Color: Brown Weight: 41 Age: 0yrs 8mths 1wks

Doodad

Mixed Breed (Large)

Lancaster, OH

Size

(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Doodad came in with his brother, Thingy. Both pups arrived feeling shut down and scared to interact with anyone. We gave them time to settle in and decompress. Doodad is a sweet and energetic guy, and he has been quickly picking up tricks with plenty of treats and encouragement! He has been working hard on learning to walk on a leash and has shown great progress. We are continuing positive reinforcement training to help him develop the confidence and manners he needs to become a wonderful adult dog. Patience is key! While Doodad has performed well during dog evaluations at the shelter, we always recommend bringing any resident pets in for a meet and greet before adopting him. If you're interested in adopting, please submit an application at www.fairfieldcountydogs.com. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: White Weight: 42 Age: 0yrs 8mths 1wks

Meet Kimber! This sweet girl recently came to us as a stray, and it seems like she was on her own for some time. Kimber came to us in pretty rough shape, emaciated, suffering from a pyometra infection, and absolutely terrified. Thankfully Kimber is now on the mend, and is slowly coming out of her shell. Kimber is looking for a quiet home she can recover in, that will give her the time and care she needs to blossom. Kimber seems to do okay with other dogs. If you have other animals in your home, we recommend bringing them in to do a meet and greet before taking Kimber home. If you are interested in meeting Kimber, please submit an adoption form on our website: fairfieldcountydogs.com and we will contact you to arrange a time to visit.
