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
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! She can be a little shy with strangers both human and dog alike, but with a little time to warm up she will be your best friend! Sasha has done okay with other dogs in the shelter, and her previous owner said she lived with other animals previous and did well with them. 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.

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. Once she is comfortable with you Costata is simply perfect, and will follow you everywhere! She has done well with other dogs and cats. 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.

Bailey was about a year old when she was rescued from an unhealthy environment. She is now 8 yrs old. She loves to run outside and chase squirrels. In the house she is a good watch dog and will bark when she hears people walking past or someone who is in the driveway. She is not a picky eater and eats dry dog food. She is a gentle dog who loves to be petted and brushed. She likes to lay down near people. She has a great smile! She gets along well with children. She enjoys exploring smells around the yard and likes cooler weather. She is past the puppy stage and very chill in the house and would make a good companion. She gets along well with other pets.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Meet Chocolate Chip!  Chocolate Chip came to DASH with his Bagel Babies siblings from of a rural shelter and he is the only one left of the litter who needs to find his forever home.  Since he is the last of his litter to find his home he is now part of the DASH Foster to Adopt program where a potential adopter is able to bring him to their home to see how Chocolate Chip will acclimate to the home to see if Chocolate Chip will be a good fit.  Chocolate Chip is a large boy who is a gentle, sweet boy who loves to cuddle with his people.  He is a vocal boy when he is playing or when he is excited and is sensitive to sounds in noisy enviroments.  Chocolate Chip is housetrained, cratetrained, and walks well on a leash along with mastering all basic commands.  He loves playing with toys, gets along with other dogs and loves all people.  Chocolate Chip is currently in the DASH Prison program where he is fine tuning all his manners to be the best dog he can be for his future family.  Due to his current foster placement he has not been introduced to cats or children of any age so both would require proper introductions.   If you believe Chocolate Chip may be a perfect fit in your family and would like to foster to adopt him please apply today!   Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.June 5, 2026, 1:28 pm
