Story
Annie, a lovely red heeler, is still searching for a family to love and care for her. Unbelievably, she is one of the longest residents at FairyTails Pet Adoptions. Here is what one of our volunteers said about her: Annie has visited our home for short stays several times now and she was wonderful. She enjoyed playing in our yard, but when that was done, she came inside and flopped down on the sofa with a chew stick. Then we took Annie to our local dog-friendly brewery. She enjoyed the attention from the patrons and was interested in all the new smells. She accepted doggie treats from the bartender .She was a great companion and received many compliments on her behavior. Annie loves to be petted and scratched. She is a real lovebug and wants to be with her people. She is medium energy dog and perfect for a family only wanting one dog. She slept through the night uncrated and was fine, with no whining or barking. She didn't have any accidents in the house as we took her out often. She is unsure with other dogs, so it is best if she were on only dog. She is very loving, happy, and just wants to be with her family.

Story
Meet Rosco! Rosco is the perfect reminder of what freedom truly means — a chance to start over, loved and safe. This handsome boy was cruelly dumped on a rural road in Owsley County along with his two siblings. Thankfully, we were able to rescue all three, and now it’s Rosco’s turn to find a forever family to call his own. At about a year old and 47 lbs, Rosco is a dream wrapped in a fluffy black and white coat. He’s incredibly sweet with people, craving affection and eager to be by your side. We have found that Rosco needs to be an only dog, but that just means he will have you all to himself! If you’re looking for a loyal companion to share starry nights and cozy couch days, Rosco is ready to be your reason to celebrate this season and beyond. Help us give Rosco the security and love he’s always deserved. Please email fairytailspetadoptions@yahoo.com to obtain an application or submit an Adopt A Pet inquiry.

Story
Sweet • Soft • Shy • Certified Sock Thief!! Hi everyone, I’m Chaka Khan—and my foster mom says I’m a great little dog, even if I haven’t gotten a single application yet. I may not be a poofy poodle or a fluffy baby puppy, but I am a charming brindle girl with the softest fur you’ll ever touch and a playful, goofy personality. 💕 ✨ Fun Fact: Honestly… they should’ve named me Dobby. Why? Because I am a professional sock thief. And once I’m done… well, let’s just say your toes might be left a little exposed. 🧦😄 Don’t worry, I steal with love. ✨ About Me: ▪️ 25 pounds of pure sweetness ▪️ Brindle beauty who doesn’t shed ▪️ Silky-soft coat ▪️ Almost potty trained ▪️ Loves other dogs & toys ▪️ A little shy with humans at first, but I warm up with patience I’m looking for someone who sees past the flashy fluff and falls for the real magic—loyalty, silliness, sweetness, and a little mischief. 🐾💛 If you think I might be your perfect match, please reach out to FairyTails and submit an application for me. I’m ready to steal your socks… and your heart. ❤️ Please email fairytailspetadoptions@yahoo.com to obtain an application or submit an Adopt A Pet inquiry. We will email you an application promptly.

Story
🎄👑 A Royal Christmas Wish: Sadie & Shiloh Are Ready to Meet Their Forever Family! 👑🎄 Bonded Pair • 3 Years Old • 13 & 15 lbs • Adoption Fee $400 Each This Christmas, two little Cavaliers are hoping for the greatest gift of all… a forever home together. ❤️🐾 Meet Sadie, a 13-lb tricolor beauty, and Shiloh, a 15-lb Blenheim sweetheart. At just 3 years old, these girls are everything you dream of in Cavaliers—gentle, affectionate, devoted, and happiest when snuggled close to the people they love. Their story is bittersweet. These girls were deeply cherished family members, but their owners were faced with an impossible decision. With a move back to Australia, they could not take their three dogs along. They drove over 5 hours to personally deliver them to FairyTails to ensure they would be safe, loved, and placed carefully. 💖 Their one heartfelt request: That Sadie and Shiloh stay together for the rest of their years. These girls are truly bonded, and watching them comfort and follow each other will melt your heart. They bring twice the love, twice the joy, and twice the Christmas magic. 🎁✨ If you’re dreaming of a peaceful, cuddly holiday season, Sadie and Shiloh are ready to curl up beside your tree and bring warmth to your home all year long. 🌲❤️ 📩 Interested in adopting this bonded pair? Email fairytailspetadoptions@yahoo.com for an application or submit an inquiry on Adopt A Pet. If you don’t receive a reply, please check your spam folder or call 859-744-7729. Let’s make their Christmas wish come true. 🐾🎄
