Story
Jax was brought to the shelter as a stray and was set to be euthanized just because he wasn't a desirable dog. His life mattered to us so we got him out of the shelter. He has a heart murmur and an enlarged heart so we took him to the cardiologist for a complete check up, he got neutered, a tumor removed and now he's ready to spend the rest of his years with someone who will love him unconditionally. Jax will be on medication for the rest of his life. He is a love bug and would love nothing more than to cuddle with you on the couch.

Story
It's 5/22 and Simba is now stuck in boarding and completely forgotten #SIMBA is in need of shares and help. As much as his foster would love to adopt him, it's a little challenging for him having never owned a dog before. Simba needs an alpha human with experience. He's a good boy but needs to know he is not the boss. He completed 8 weeks of training and knows basic commands. He walks well on a leash and is dog friendly but will require meet and greets. He's 3 years old, 71 lbs, neutered and UTD with vaccines. Please contact Fairytail Endings Rescue or myself if interested in fostering and/or adopting this sweet boy.
