Story
If you are looking for the perfect snuggle buddy, meet Garnet! She is a sweet and lovable dog looking for a home that will spoil them. Garnet doesn't know a stranger, and once you offer treats they won't leave your side! This beautiful dog loves anything comfy like beds, blankets, and of course the couch. Garnet has met other dogs and seems to be a big fan of her canine friends. If you have other animals in your home, we recommend bringing them in for a meet and greet before taking them home. If you are interested in meeting with her, please submit an adoption form on our website: fairfieldcountydogs.com and we will contact you to arrange a time to visit.

Story
Bo will need a home that is super patient and willing to give him time to decompress. You will also have to come to the shelter more than once to visit with him. He is fine with our staff but takes time to warm up to ALL new people. He reacts ok to some dogs but MUST meet and new housemates. He was in a home prior to coming here, for a short time, and they said he would growl at their children from time to time (which is why they brought him to us). So we suggest NO children. Anyone interested in meeting him MUST come to the shelter and complete an application if you decide you would like to be considered. ***better photos will be posted soon Morrow County Dog Shelter, Mt.
