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. 🏡💖

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.

Story
Meet Costata! This sweet little girl recently came to us as a stray, and we are still getting to know her. Costata is a shy girl and i quite nervous in the chaotic shelter environment. Her ideal home will give her the time and space to open up as she decompresses from her shelter stay. Costata has done okay with other dogs. She may take a little time to warm up, but once she is comfortable with you she is the sweetest girl that will follow you everywhere! 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.

Needs special attention,
Story
Malinois lovers sought! Okra is a petite gal who is looking for someone to keep her busy and engaged while also nurturing her soft side. Okra was picked up as a stray by the dog shelter but never claimed. Although very nervous/anxious in new situations, Okra passed her temp test with flying colors at the shelter and presented for her spay only to be found to be heartworm positive, thereby derailing her potential for adoption. She was moved to our care for a prolonged treatment process and will be ready for adoption soon however keeping her in a foster home instead of a shelter environment was needed to maintain her mental sanity, hence why she is in our care. Okra is a busy and anxious gal when not engaged with her people so a family who is able to make her part of their daily activities is ideal as is someone who wants an active partner for exercise and adventure! More info coming soon once she completes her treatment but feel free to reach out with questions in advance if you are considering Okra as a potential new family member. Okra requires a home that will keep her on monthly preventives 12 months a year. Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Brown Weight: 52.125 Age: 2yrs 7mths 2wks
