Story
RCHS does not conduct DNA tests on dogs who enter our facility therefore we are unable to guarantee breed or breed mix. Information provided by shelter staff, volunteers, and veterinarians is used to give a best estimate as to a dog’s breed make up. We do our best to inform adopters about the potential breeds for each dog.We are a dog only facility so we do not know how most of our dogs will be with cats. Even if a dog is surrendered to us and said to be good with cats there is no way to be sure the dog will be good with your cats. We do have a 7 day foster-to-adopt program so that you can see how the dog interacts with your cats before adoption.

Story
Nikita is a 6-year-old German shepherd with food allergies. She is currently on a prescription diet. She is very driven and active. Nikita would do best in a home without cats and a very active human. She loves to always pack around a toy in her mouth and will chase her tail for days. Nikita's Wishlist consists of Purina HA Salmon, Fortiflora Calm, Kong dog toys, and an orthopedic dog bed. Meet Nikita! Her favorite thing to do is chase her tail, but she is not as into cat friends. She needs more exercise than a bodybuilder. The most important thing to know about Nikita is that she must always carry something in her mouth.

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!

Story
Meet Costata! This adorable little lady is ready to find her fresh start with a furever family. Costata is spunky, playful, and simply adorable! She appears to be potty trained and knows some basic skills including "sit", "shake", and "drop it". She is very food motivated, and will do anything for a tennis ball! Costata is still a little nervous with strangers, especially men, so she is looking for a family that will give her time to warm up. She would do best in a home without men, but this is not a requirement. Once she is comfortable with you Costata is simply perfect, and will follow you everywhere! She has done well with other dogs. If you have other animals in your home, we recommend bringing them in to do a meet and greet before taking Costata home. If you are interested in meeting Costata, please submit an adoption form on our website: fairfieldcountydogs.com and we will contact you to arrange a time to visit.

Story
Meet Sunny! Poor Sunny has had quite the traumatic life so far. He came to us as an extremely emaciated stray, weighing a measly 14lbs. After finding himself in the middle of a court case for months, Sunny has grown up in the shelter instead of in a loving home. Thankfully puppies are pretty resilient, and Sunny is ready to put his past behind him. He is a happy, outgoing guy who has bounced back entirely and looks better than ever. Sunny is a typical Shepherd; he is energetic, bouncy, and always ready for an adventure! He loves to play with other dogs, though he can play rough and would appreciate doggy friends that will tolerate his wrestlemania lifestyle. After growing up in the shelter Sunny is going to need to learn things like potty training and household manners, but he is a very driven boy and we expect him to learn quickly. Sunny has never met a stranger and adores everyone, he is ready to be your new best friend! If you have other animals in your home, we recommend bringing them in to do a meet and greet before taking Sunny home. If you are interested in meeting Sunny, please submit an adoption form on our website: fairfieldcountydogs.com and we will contact you to arrange a time to visit. Primary Color: Tan Secondary Color: Brown Weight: 47 Age: 1yrs 5mths 3wks

Story
This big bear of a dog cannot wait to find his people: Meet Oso! He is a big, playful guy who has never met a stranger. Oso is always friendly with people of all ages. He loves going for car rides and playing games of tug. He is a proper gentleman on a leash, and he loves to just be near his favorite people. He has bundles of energy just waiting for someone to play and take him for adventures! The best kind of home for Oso: Oso is an active dog who craves more than a neighborhood walk to be fulfilled. He loves to play games of tug and to chase around his toys. He would be great for an adopter looking to be active with a large dog. Oso is very clean in his space, never making messes or being destructive with bedding. He does best with female dogs, but may prefer to be the king of his castle. His previous family said he did well with cats when supervised.
