Story

Hazard is a handsome male German Shepherd who was brought to the HSOV on October 24, 2024 by the Washington County Ohio Dog Warden along with Moose (a male Mastiff) who had also shared his home. Hazard was approximately 9-years old at that time. He and Moose had been kept in safe-keeping custody. Both boys are now available for adoption since their owner surrendered Hazard and Moose to the dog warden/HSOV on September 3, 2025. Hazard has a blond medium-haired smooth coat, a long bushy tail, and a beautiful German Shepherd face with dark brown eyes, a slender muzzle, a chocolate brown nose, and extra-large erect ears. Hazard and Moose have shared a large suite in our Safe-Keeping Building since their arrival where they have access to a private outdoor 'patio'. His owner reported that Hazard is NOT good with cats. Hazard underwent surgery on January 15th 2025 for the removal of a couple of masses on his lower back. He was also neutered and given rabies vaccine while under anesthesia. Hazard is a fairly big boy who weighed 77 lbs on October 24, 2024. Hazard and Moose are being listed as a Bonded Pair since we feel that it it is their best interest to find another home together. These updated photos of Hazard were taken on September 28, 2025. Thanks to HSOV Volunteer Jennie Payton Sherrard for accompanying Hazard for more flattering outdoor photos. Since Hazard and Moose are so bonded with each other, Jennie and HSOV Volunteer Angel Grosklos teamed up to walk the boys together from their 'bachelor pad' in the Safe Haven Building so that they did not have to be separated from each other. Both Hazard and Moose have extra-friendly dispositions and super-sweet personalities. They were in 'seventh heaven' during their photo session and loved being showered with attention from Jennie and Angel. Their previous owner shared this information about Hazard and Moose: "They are amazing and sweet dogs!!! They love cuddles and treats!!! Hazard aka Hazzy is extremely scared of thunderstorms, loves raw green and red bell peppers, they both love watermelon. Hazard loves balls, and squeaky toys. Moose has one stuffed animal which he has loved all his life and you can get it at chewy, because it gets gross and will need replaced after being washed a hundred times. Hazard is a big talker, Moose is very laid back and quiet. They are quite the odd couple, but love each other dearly!!! They are the best dogs in the world!!!"

Story

Texas is a handsome 5-1/2 year old male German Shepherd who was brought to the HSOV on June 14, 2025 by Good Samaritans who found him in the vicinity of the Lowe's Home Improvement Store (Pike Street, Marietta Ohio). Texas was not wearing a collar, and he was not microchipped. This majestic guy has a black-and-brown coat, a long bushy tail, and a classic German Shepherd face with dark brown eyes, a tan mask, a slender muzzle, and large erect ears. Texas appeared to have a pleasant, easygoing disposition when these preliminary photos were taken soon after arrival. He was quiet (no barking at all) and quite attentive. Texas enjoyed 'good boy' treats from HSOV Volunteer Angel Grosklos. Thanks to HSOV Lead Canine Kennel Tech Emily Beaver for assisting Texas with photos in the shelter lobby before she led him to his kennel and got him settled in just in time for his dinner to be served. Texas is a big boy who weighs 90.2 lbs. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Texas was held for the mandatory three-day stray hold so that his family would have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership. Surprisingly, nobody called or came looking for this awesome boy.

Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Chickpea came to us along with her littermates, and is ready to find her furever home. Chickpea and her siblings seem to be pretty undersocialized, and can be nervous in new places and with new people. But Chickpea is making lots of progress, and gains a little more confidence every day! She is looking for a family that will be understanding and patient, and give her the time to blossom. As with any puppy, Chickpea is going to require training and socialization to set her up for a lifetime of success. Chickpea is very young and still growing, we are not sure how big she will get however we expect her to be large and 50-60lbs or more as an adult. If you have other animals in your home, we recommend bringing them in to do a meet and greet before taking Chickpea home. If you are interested in meeting Chickpea, please submit an adoption form on our website: fairfieldcountydogs.com and we will contact you to arrange a time to visit. Primary Color: Black Weight: 27 Age: 0yrs 3mths 3wks
