Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Online Adoption Application › Welcome Jupiter to DASH! This young girl came to DASH from a rural shelter in southern Ohio. She is housebroken, very sweet and enjoys being with her person. She is a high activity girl and will need an active person or family who can give her an outlet for that energy. She is said to be crate trained, housebroken and walks well on a leash. She is currently in our DASH Prison program where her handler says "Jupiter is a fun loving and ready to please dog. she loves fetch or laying around with her person. She gets along with all the dogs she has met. She is ready to melt your heart with her constant licks of love and loves being loved on!" She has not been kid or cat tested. If you are ready for a buddy to go with you hiking or biking or any adventures or have a job for her to do, she is perfect for that and waiting for her forever home!  Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.August 19, 2026, 7:57 pm

Story
After a rough start to life, these Aussie mix puppies are thriving in their foster home. They were dumped in rural Mississippi and found by a caring FedEx driver as they huddled on a trash pile on the side of the road. Now they have learned to trust people and love to play and snuggle. They will be ready for forever homes after 3/6. They are located in Memphis, but can be transported to the Midwest, Colorado and the Northeast for an additional fee.

Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Story
Murphy came in with his brother Mack. Both are sweet, loving, mid- to high-energy boys. Murphy started out more independent than his brother and still probably is a bit, but he also seeks out attention from time to time and can be very affectionate. Murphy looks more like pure Aussie than his brother, but he may still be mixed. We'd love Murphy and Mack to be adopted together. They are bonded and thrive in each other's company and the company of other dogs. A physically fenced yard is required. Murphy is available for adoption in Ohio to residents of Ohio.

Story
Mack came in with his brother Murphy. Both are sweet, loving, mid- to high-energy boys. Mack has been just about the sweetest boy ever from moment one—extremely affectionate and just loves giving you big Mack hugs. He loves when you let him be a Velcro dog, but don’t get the wrong idea—when you need your own space, he is very good about not being pushy about it. Mack’s brother Murphy looks more like pure Aussie, but we’re pretty sure that’s Mack’s mix as well. We'd love Mack and Murphy to be adopted together. They are bonded and thrive in each other's company and the company of other dogs. A physically fenced yard is required. Mack is available for adoption in Ohio to residents of Ohio. If you are interested in adopting Mack, please complete the online application here (copy and paste into your browser): https://hhdane.formstack.com/forms/lostpetrecoveryadoptionform

Story
Dog's Name: Chassis Gender: Female Current Age: 3 years old Current Weight: 50 lbs Breed: Australian Shepherd Energy Level: Medium Dog Friendly: Dog selective Cat Friendly: NA Kids: Yes Apartment Friendly: No Fence Requirements:  Preferred so she can get those laps in Crate Trained: Yes Potty Trained: Yes Ideal Home / Adopter: Chassis would thrive with an adopter who appreciates her smart, loyal Aussie personality (and maybe herding habits) and will enjoy keeping her engaged while giving her all the love she deserves. She is super food motivated so training will be a breeze. Likes: Chassis’ favorite song on Olivia Rodrigo’s latest album is definitely honeybee. Coincidentally, that’s also her favorite Blake Shelton song. In lieu of a herd of sheep, this girl goes Gaga for bees. Dislikes: storms are a hard no for her and she appreciates the safety of her crate during bad weather, who can blame her! Chassis is a smart, loving Aussie girl with a soft spot for flowers, bees, and being wherever her people are! This medium-energy sweetheart is potty and crate trained, knows basic commands, and is always ready to learn when treats are involved. She’s dog selective and has some herding dog tendencies, but with her loyal personality and love for adventure, Chassis is ready to buzz right into her forever home. All adoption fees include spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations, worming, flea prevention, and current heartworm prevention. Dogs over six months of age are heartworm tested prior to adoption. If you're interested in adopting, please complete an application at rescuedohio.org. Once approved, a meet-and-greet can be scheduled. ##2677186##

Story
Meet Ajay Marie! Ajay was found abandoned in a public dog park by a good samaritian, and is not sure how she ended up in the chaotic and noisy shelter. Ajay is a nervous and shy girl here, but we have begun to see glimpses of her sweet and loving disposition. Ajay may take a little time to warm up, but she will be your best friend and your shadow everywhere you go once she is comfortable with you! Ajay has done okay with children and previously lived with children and other dogs. If you have other animals in your home, we recommend bringing them in to do a meet and greet before taking Ajay Marie home. If you are interested in meeting Ajay Marie, please submit an adoption form on our website: fairfieldcountydogs.com and we will contact you to arrange a time to visit.
