Story
Gemma is a beautiful and sweet dog! She is perfect in almost every way—she's 100% house-trained and crate-trained, loves car rides, and walks great on a leash. She also loves to cuddle and will strongly attach to her people! Gemma, however, needs to be an only pet. She wants to be your one and only. She loves people! She would make a perfect dog for a one-pet household.Gemma had her rear left leg amputated after being hit by a car 8 weeks ago. She has quickly adjusted to having three legs but would definitely appreciate some area rugs or carpet in her new home. Fenced-in yard preferred due to Gemma's love of the outdoors. ADOPTION REQUIREMENTS FOR GEMMA - No other pets.

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.

Story
Sweet Odin came to us by way of law enforcement after coming from what appeared to be a domestic violence situation. This poor lad was initially very nervous of us here at the shelter, and who wouldn't be after what he's been through? Odin has since gone to foster and is doing much better there. He is a typical Shepherd; he is loyal and devoted to his people, a creature of habit who loves his routine, and a couch hog. Odin is neutral to other dogs, and does well with other dogs in his foster home. Odin is a chunky guy currently on a weight loss journey, so he is looking for a family that can help him continue to lose the extra pounds. If you have other animals at home we recommend bringing them in for a meet and greet before taking Odin home. If you are interested in meeting Odin, please submit an adoption form on our website: fairfieldcountydogs.com and we will contact you to arrange a time to visit.

Story
This cute little guy (Wile E. Coyote) was brought to the HSOV on June 19, 2024 by a Good Samaritan who had found him the previous day on Oakwood Avenue in Marietta Ohio and tried in vain to locate his family. Wile E. Coyote was wearing a collar with a partial tie-out/leash attached but there was neither an id tag nor a dog license tag on his collar .. And he was not microchipped. And in case you are wondering, there were no sightings of The Road Runner in the vicinity where Wile E. Coyote was found (smile). Wile E. Coyote is a 10-month old male German Shepherd mix. He has a black-and-brown/tan short smooth coat with white highlights on his chest, a long tail, and an adorable face with beautiful brown eyes, a tan mask, and large erect ears. This young man appears to have a happy, outgoing personality. These photos were taken on June 21, 2024 when Wile E. was enjoying some fresh air in one of our covered/shaded outdoor kennels. The afternoon temperatures that day reached 95 degrees which was much too hot/humid for photos in our usual grassy area (which is in direct sunshine), so the better part of valor (and common sense) dictated that we'd settle for a less-than-perfect backdrop in order to be able to post pictures of this little sweetheart. Wile E. Coyote weighs 46 lbs and isn't a very large boy when you see him in person. In compliance with the Ohio Revised Code, Wile E. Coyote will be held for three days so that his family will have an opportunity to reclaim him with proof of ownership. Since he was not reclaimed, Wile E. Coyote was neutered on August 5, 2024 and was also given rabies vaccine. Wile E. Coyote was adopted on August 20, 2024. Wile E. Coyote was returned to HSOV on February 11, 2025 since he had become an escape artist who acquired a taste for poultry and could not be trusted with neighborhood chickens. Wile E. is looking for an appropriate new home where he would have no contact with chickens or other feathered friends .. And he needs to learn to return home when his owner/family calls him back.
