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. 🏡💖

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.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Meet Davonna!! This beautiful, sweet german shepherd girl is looking for her forever home. We don't know a lot about her backstory, but since being at DASH, she has shown she loves everyone she meets. She is great riding in a car and loves loves loves playing with her ball. She is good off leash and has great recall. She is kennel trained, and is housebroken. Davonna does well with male dogs with proper introductions, but she is not a fan of other female dogs. We think small dogs are not a good fit. One of the cats at her foster home is her best friend and she sleeps with him every night. She has not been kid tested, but older, respectful kids should be fine. Davonna has come a long way since she has been with us and she will need someone willing to work with her to continue her training as she acclimates to her new home. She would be well worth the time invested to make her the best dog ever. Are you looking for a best friend to grow with & gain perfect loyalty in return? (FTA: Davonna is a part of our Foster-to-Adopt program. If you are interested in bringing her home to test how she would acclimate to your environment, apply today!)

Story
Shotta is a great friendly family dog. He’s only been with me from a breeder since a puppy. He’s house trained as well as crate trained. He’s great with other dogs big and small as well as children. He listens pretty well to commands. All he wants is love and attention all day. Though he is capable of staying home alone for a work shift or a day outside of the house.
