Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Check out this handsome guy! Courage is currently our biggest resident, and is big gentle giant! When Courage came to us he initially was pretty nervous, but since gaining his trust he has really opened up. Courage is now a social butterfly and loves meeting new people. Courage appears to be potty trained and knows a couple of basic skills like "sit" and his favorite; "sit pretty"! Courage is a go with the flow type of guy, happily content to laze around on a comfy bed or go for an adventure. Courage does well with other dogs, though he comes on strong and likes to play rough so he would do best with other medium-large and playful dogs. If you have other animals in your home, we recommend bringing them in for a meet and greet before taking Courage home. If you're interested in meeting Courage, head over to out website, fairfieldcountydog.com and fill out an adoption application. Our staff will then reach out to you to schedule an appointment.

Frankincense

Australian Cattle Dog Jack Russell Terrier

Male, Senior
Lancaster, OH
Size
(when grown) -
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Frankincense, or Frank, is currently in foster care. He is a gentle senior soul that gets along with all dogs, loves to snuggle, and prefers your pillow over any dog bed. He is sensitive around his neck and a little head shy but never aggressive. He uses steps to get on and off the bed and the couch because of a narrowing in his spine that limits his mobility and causes him pain at certain angles. He tolerates crating but much prefers to be loose when you are gone. We are considering this guy a medical special needs case, so if you're interested in potential adoption, please reach out to us so we can discuss his needs. If you have other animals in your home, we recommend bringing them in for a meet and greet before taking Frankincense home. If you are interested in meeting Frankincense, please submit an adoption form on our website: fairfieldcountydogs.com and we will contact you to arrange a time to visit.

Kokomo

Goldendoodle

Male, Adult
Lancaster, OH
Size
(when grown) -
Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Kokomo! This super handsome beach boy has had a rough start, and is looking for a family to provide him some good TLC. Kokomo's story is unfortunately quite common for doodles, a story of neglect and poor care. Kokomo came to us severely matted, in desperate need of a good groom. He has been shaved, and unfortunately the removal of his poorly kept coat revealed a poorly kept body. Kokomo is currently being treated for an array of issues that are a direct result of his previous neglect; a severe double ear infection, skin irritation, and worms. Thankfully with a little bit of love and attention Kokomo is already on the mend, and he should be a completely healthy boy soon. Kokomo can be nervous with strangers, and is looking for a family that will take it slow and give him time to warm up. While he isn't going to jump right into your lap for affection, if you give him the time to come around he will be your best friend. Once he is comfortable with you he is a happy, food motivated, affectionate pup that just wants to be loved. Kokomo seems to lack experience with other dogs, but he is warming up and may appreciate a doggy playmate at home. If you have other animals at home we recommend bringing them in for a meet and greet before taking Kokomo home. If you are interested in meeting Kokomo, please submit an adoption form on our website: fairfieldcountydogs.com and we will contact you to arrange a time to visit.

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Meet Balefire! Unfortunately this handsome lovebug has been through the ringer, being in and out of other shelter facilities previously and being passed from home to home before ending up with us. We aren't sure what all Balefire has been through, but he came to us emaciated and just generally in rough shape. However, this awesome guy doesn't let anything get him down! He is full of life, forgiving of people despite what he has been through, and ready to be everyone's best friend! It's hard not to fall in love with just one look into those sweet eyes. Balefire is good with other dogs, and would love to have a doggy playmate at home. If you have other animals in your home, we recommend bringing them in for a meet and greet before taking Balefire home. If you are interested in meeting with Balefire, please submit an adoption form on our website: fairfieldcountydogs.com and we will contact you to arrange a time to visit.

Ginny

Great Pyrenees Border Collie

Female, Adult

Size

Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Miss Ginny has had a tough go of it so far, but she is hoping you'll help her turn her luck around. Ginny came to us as a stray with another dog, and we are still getting to know her. So far we can tell that Ginny is pretty perfect! She can be a little shy with both new people and new dogs at first, but once she warms up she is so sweet and affectionate. Ginny came to us in rough shape with some gross skin and missing hair, but thankfully she is on the mend now and looking better every day! Because of Ginny's skin issues she is likely to require a special diet and ongoing medical care, so a good relationship with your veterinarian is required. If you have other animals at home we recommend bringing them in for a meet and greet before taking Ginny home. If you are interested in meeting with Ginny, please submit an adoption form on our website: fairfieldcountydogs.com and we will contact you to arrange a time to visit. Primary Color: White Secondary Color: Black Weight: 58 Age: 6yrs 1mths 0wks
