Story
Meet Brodie! Brodie is a fun loving, happy, friendly guy looking for an active and engaging home! Brodie is like a new puppy in a big body; he is missed out on important training and socialization and will need help catching up on those things. Unfortunately this handsome pup has struggled to find his furever family due to his energy level and rambunctious, playful nature. Brodie is going to require a family that can put time and energy into helping him become a well rounded pup, but he will pay you back in a lifetime of love and companionship! Brodie is a rough player and does not always understand his size, so he would do best with children middle school age and older. Brodie does well with other dogs, and if you have other animals in your home we recommend bringing them in for a meet and greet before taking Brodie home. If you are interested in meeting with Brodie, please submit an adoption form on our website: fairfieldcountydogs.com and we will contact you to arrange a time to visit. Primary Color: Gold Secondary Color: Brown Weight: 70 Age: 3yrs 7mths 0wks

Story
She is very intelligent and knows the Basic Commands. She is easy to train and eager to learn. She is very protective of her person with other dogs. She has never shown any aggression towards humans, but she will go after a dog if she thinks the dog is a threat to her person. The Current Shepherd Parent needs to re home Rubix because she has been attacking the other family dog and the Current Shepherd Parent fears she will not be able to break up the fight when the husband is at work. Rubix is not naturally aggressive, she is just protective. She will attack the other dog when the other dog growls at them for coming through the door not knowing that it is them. Rubix takes that as a threat to her people and she attacks. Rubix needs a NO other dog home and will thrive best with someone home 24/7. She has severe Separation Anxiety and will hurt herself if she is crated by trying to chew out of her crate or confined area. She will thrive best with someone who will train her to Free Roam.

Story
Cody (fka Handsome Pants) is a majestic 3-year old male German Shepherd who was surrendered by his owner on January 8, 2025 for a heartbreaking reason since Cody's owner was no longer physically able to take care of his beloved dog. Cody's housemate Remy (a 5-year old male German Shepherd) was also surrendered on January 8th. Cody has a black/brown/tan short smooth coat, a long fluffy tail, and a beautiful classic German Shepherd face with dark brown eyes, a large slender muzzle, and extra-large erect ears. Cody may look familiar to many of our HSOV volunteers/supporters since he originally came to our shelter on June 3, 2024 and was posted under the name Handsome Pants. These pictures were taken later that afternoon when HSOV Kennel Tech Emily Beaver assisted him with his photo session. Handsome Pants was neutered on July 2, 2024 and was also given rabies vaccine. He was adopted on July 17, 2024 and given the new name Cody. Cody (aka Handsome Pants) currently weighs 107 lbs and is very strong on a leash. Cody tends to be protective of his food. Cody and Remy are looking for a fabulous home (either together or separately) with an experienced adopter who is familiar with the German Shepherd breed. We know that Cody and Remy are heartbroken and miss their owner who loved them so much. Sadly, we've learned that their owner has passed away recently. We know that his heart was broken having to say goodbye to his dogs and making the difficult decision to surrender them. We hope that both Cody and Remy will find a home(s) with someone who loved them as much as he did.

Remy is a magnificent 5-year old male German Shepherd who was surrendered by his owner on January 8, 2025 for a heartbreaking reason since Remy's owner was no longer physically able to take care of his beloved dogs. Remy's housemate Cody (a 3-year old male German Shepherd) was also surrendered on January 8th. Remy has a sleek black-and-tan short smooth coat, a long fluffy tail, and a beautiful classic German Shepherd face with dark brown eyes, a large slender muzzle, and extra-large erect ears. Remy currently weighs 120 lbs and is very strong on a leash. We don't know yet how Remy feels about cats or children. Remy got along well with Cody when they shared their home from the past six months. Remy and Cody are looking for a fabulous home (either together or separately) with an experienced adopter who is familiar with the German Shepherd breed.

Kaiser (Neutered)

German Shepherd Dog

Male, Adult
Marietta, OH
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Kaiser is a sweet 6-year old male German Shepherd who was brought to the HSOV on January 14, 2025 by the Washington County Ohio Dog Warden who had picked him up on Highland Ridge Road in the Lowell Ohio area. Kaiser was not wearing a collar, and he was not microchipped. This good-looking guy has a tan short smooth coat, a long tail, and a beautiful Shepherd face with soulful dark brown eyes, black shading on his slender muzzle, and large erect ears. Kaiser has a super friendly disposition and begins to wag his tail in anticipation of attention the moment you make eye contact with him. When Kaiser entered our shelter, his hair/coat was very sparse and our HSOV Manager quickly contacted one of our wonderful local veterinarians to schedule a medical appointment for him. Kaiser was diagnosed with demodectic (non-contagious) mange in addition to ear infections, and he is currently on medications to treat those infections. Kaiser weighs 89 lbs and walked gently on a leash. He had already been neutered when he was picked up by the Dog Warden. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Kaiser will be held for three days so that his family will have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership. Surely someone has loved Kaiser and is missing this big boy.
