Story
Igor is a 4-year-old Shepherd/Malinois mix (he's a rescue, so I'm not sure of his exact breed). He is the sweetest, most loving, loyal, and playful dog, and I'm looking for the perfect home where he can thrive. I am rehoming him **solely because of my personal circumstances**. I'll be starting medical school soon and won't be able to give him the time, exercise, and attention he deserves. Igor does great with other dogs and is friendly with strangers and other dogs on walks. He's also wonderful with kids. The only exception is that he **cannot live in a home with cats**. At home, Igor is naturally protective and will bark when someone arrives at the front door or driveway, but once properly introduced, he's a sweet and affectionate companion. He would be the perfect dog for someone looking for a loyal best friend and an adventure buddy. He needs long walks or a big backyard, and someone who will give him a lot of exercise, love and time! He is the perfect companion and protector!

Hey there! 🐕 I'm Shiloh, a 6-month-old German Shepherd mix with a striking black, brown, and tricolor coat — and I'm ready to grow into my 42.6-pound frame with you!

Story
We acquired her through a professional breeder in 2018 so she is 8 years old and in good health. We would prefer her to go to a home that has a backyard preferably fenced in but not required. She is used to being indoors most of the time but loves it outside. She is playful, protective and great with smaller animals and children.

Story
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’s smart, protective, sometimes silly — and absolutely devoted once she bonds with you. 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? Someone who loves the Shepherd energy — confident, consistent, and committed to her continued growth. 🐕‍🦺💛 Trainer Brian has even offered to help with her transition and continued training for her adopter! If you’re ready to open your heart and home to a loyal companion who’ll give you her all, Sasha is waiting. 🏡💖

Meet Sasha! Sasha was surrendered to us by her owner when they could no longer keep her. Sasha is a young girl with plenty of puppy spunk; she would love an active family that will keep her mind and body busy! Sasha is a high energy girl that would thrive in an active home, she likes to keep her mind and body busy! Sasha does well with other dogs and has become a "playgroup pro" because she does so well at making friends! Sasha previously lived with other animals. If you have other animals in your home, we recommend bringing them in to do a meet and greet before taking Sasha home. If you are interested in meeting Sasha, please submit an adoption form on our website: fairfieldcountydogs.com and we will contact you to arrange a time to visit.
