Story
Koda is a 2-year-old, all black German Shepherd. Closely bonded with his adoptive brother, Kai (white shepherd pictured) whom we would love to place in a home with Koda, if possible. He has been with us since he was 2 months old, in the same home as Kai along with two cats whom he gets along with great. He has been around infants and children and does very well, he is house broken, crate trained, and knows many commands (sit, center, wait, L/R spin, etc.) He has never been the aggressor but is reactive when tested by another male dog, shows fear-based aggression with people when fed and caged, but never bites. VERY high energy and anxious. Kai has separate listing with info. They are wonderful dogs who I love deeply with all my heart and soul, it is with a heavy heart that I make this post. Please consider adoption carefully and understand that it requires a lot of time and effort to provide the kind of life he deserves. I hope he can make you as happy as he has made my family and me.

Story
Kai is a 2-year-old, all white, full blood German Shepherd. Closely bonded with his adoptive brother, Koda (black shepherd pictured) whom we would love to place in a home with Kai, if possible. He has been with us since he was 2 months old, in the same home as Koda along with two cats whom he gets along with fantastically. He has been around infants and children and does very well, he is house broken, crate trained, and knows all basic commands (sit, wait, paw, lay down, etc.). He isn't reactive, has never shown aggression, and ultimately has no behavioral issues apart from chewing things up on occasion. Koda is listed for rehoming as well with all of his information. They are wonderful dogs who I love deeply with all my heart and soul, it is with a heavy heart that I make this post. Please consider adoption carefully and understand that it requires a lot of time and effort to provide the kind of life he deserves. I hope he can make you as happy as he has made my family and me.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Miss Aberdeen was unfortunately brought in as a "stray" by her owner. We are unsure as to why they felt the need to drop this sweet girl off, but we have been told that she is potty trained, good with cats, and loves children. Once she's settled in and things are a little less exciting she is ready to cuddle up right next to you. Aberdeen is pretty fearful of men, and would likely prefer a more quiet home without many male visitors. Aberdeen can be picky about her dog friends and would likely do best in a home where she could be the only pup. Don't let that stop you though, this sweet lady is ready for a life outside the shelter where she can soak up all the love and affection you have to offer. If you have other animals in your home, we recommend bringing them in for a meet and greet before taking Aberdeen home. If you are interested in meeting with Aberdeen, please submit an adoption form on our website: fairfieldcountydogs.com and we will contact you to arrange a time to visit.

Comet & Vixen

German Shepherd Dog

Male, Adult
Marietta, OH
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
This handsome pair of male German Shepherd dogs were found on Barth Road in the Belpre Ohio area and had been wandering around that neighborhood for awhile. Thanks to a Good Samaritan who gained their trust, they were brought to the HSOV on November 3, 2023. Neither of these guys were wearing a collar, and they were not microchipped. Our kennel techs have dubbed them Comet & Vixen. Comet is estimated to be 5-6 years old. He has a brown/tan coat with subtle dark brown/black shading, a long tail, and a classic German Shepherd face with black shading on his muzzle and extra-large ears which he holds erect. Comet weighs 71 lbs. Vixen is estimated to be 2-3 year old. He has dark brown coat, a long tail, and an adorable dark brown face with black shading on his muzzle, and large ears that he usually holds in a semi-erect position. Vixen weighs 54.2 lbs. Comet & Vixen were somewhat of a comedy team at times during their photo session. HSOV Lead Canine Kennel Tech Jared Nash accompanied Comet while HSOV Kennel Tech Emily Beaver escorted Vixen for their outdoor pictures later in the afternoon on November 3rd. Both Comet & Vixen have friendly, playful personalities and were a pleasure to watch (and photograph) them together. These big boys loved attention from Jared & Emily. We managed to capture a couple of pictures of the boys together .. Comet was quite the clown when he made multiple efforts to photo-bomb Vixen's individual pictures (so we've included a few of those 'bloopers'). We will also post individual photos of Comet & Vixen. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Comet & Vixen will be held for three days so that their family will have an opportunity to reclaim them with proof of ownership. We've learned that Comet is actually Vixen's biological father. UPDATE: Comet and Vixen were neutered on November 14, 2023 and were also given rabies vaccine. Comet was adopted by their foster family on November 15th. But they changed their mind about adopting Comet's biological son Vixen. So Vixen is still looking for a fabulous home.

Story
Vixen is an adorable 2-1/2 year old male German Shepherd/possible Belgian Malinois mix who was found on Barth Road in the Belpre Ohio area along with his best friend (Comet). These boys had been wandering around that neighborhood for awhile and befriended a kind family who made sure they did not go hungry. Thanks to a Good Samaritan who gained their trust and kept them safe, they were brought to the HSOV on November 3, 2023. Neither of these guys were wearing a collar, and they were not microchipped. Vixen has as dark brown coat, a long tail, and an adorable dark brown face with black shading on his muzzle, and large ears that he usually holds in a semi-erect position. Both Vixen & Comet have friendly, playful personalities and were a pleasure to watch (and photograph), Much to our delight, they were somewhat of a comedy team at times during their photo session. HSOV Kennel Tech Emily Beaver escorted Vixen and HSOV Lead Canine Kennel Tech Jared Nash accompanied Comet for their outdoor pictures later in the afternoon on November 3rd. Both of these big boys loved attention from Emily & Jared. Vixen appears to be the loving 'little brother' type who looks up to Comet for comfort/security. Vixen weighs 54.2 lbs and is the smaller of the pair. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Vixen & Comet will be held for three days so that their family will have an opportunity to reclaim them with proof of ownership. If they are not reclaimed, we'd love to see Vixen & Comet adopted together. We've learned that Comet is actually Vixen's biological father. UPDATE: Comet and Vixen were neutered on November 14, 2023 and were also given rabies vaccine. Comet was adopted by their foster family on November 15th. But they changed their mind about adopting Comet's biological son Vixen. So Vixen is still looking for a fabulous home.
