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.

Fava came to us along with her littermates, and she is ready to find her furever home. Fava and her littermates seem to be undersocialized and are pretty fearful in the shelter.

As with any puppy, Fava is going to require training and socialization to set her up for a lifetime of success. Fava 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.

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.
