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?

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. 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 Colt! Colt came to us as a stray and unfortunately was not reclaimed by an owner. Colt is a gentle, sensitive soul and is having a hard time in the overwhelming shelter environment. Colt is on the more anxious side, and is looking for a family that will help him learn to relax. Who can blame him after ending up in the shelter as a senior? Colt would do best in a quiet home. Colt really comes out of his shell and builds confidence with other dogs, so he would do well in a home with another dog. He does okay with cats. If you have other animals in your home, we recommend bringing them in to do a meet and greet before taking Colt home. If you are interested in meeting Colt, please submit an adoption form on our website: fairfieldcountydogs.com and we will contact you to arrange a time to visit.

Story
Meet Mike! We aren't sure why Mike ended up here, but he is very ready for a fresh start. Mike is really struggling to find his confidence in the chaotic shelter environment, and is in need of a very understanding and patient family. Because Mike is so scared here, we don't know much about his personality yet. What we can tell you is that he is going to need time, patience, and love to open up at home. Mike is shy and unsure with strangers, but once he has warmed up he's likely going to be your best friend! If you have other animals in your home, we recommend bringing them in to do a meet and greet before taking Mike home. If you are interested in meeting Mike, 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.
