Story
🎄💌 A Letter to Santa from Annie 💌🎄 Dear Santa, My name is Annie, and I’ve been a very good girl this year. I’m 3 years old, weigh 65 lbs, and I’ve been waiting at FairyTails Pet Adoptions for over a year now. I know that sounds hard to believe, but I promise I’m worth the wait. All I’m wishing for this Christmas is a family of my very own. I don’t need fancy toys or extra treats — just a cozy couch, kind hands to pet me, and people who want me by their side. One of my FairyTails friends took me home for a little sleepover, and guess what? I was wonderful! I played in the yard, then came inside and curled up on the couch with a chew stick. I slept through the night uncrated, didn’t bark or whine, and had no accidents. I even went out to a dog-friendly brewery where I charmed everyone, accepted treats from the bartender, and soaked up all the attention like the good girl I am. I’m a medium-energy lovebug who adores being petted and scratched. I’m happiest when I’m with my people. I do best as an only dog, where I can soak up all the love and give it right back. Santa, if you know a family looking for a loyal companion, a couch-snuggler, and a true best friend… please tell them about me. I promise to love them with my whole heart. Love, 🐾 Annie ⸻ 🎁 Annie at a Glance • 3 years old | 65 lbs • Red Heeler • Medium energy • House-trained • Best as an only dog • Adoption fee: $100 📩 Interested in making Annie’s Christmas wish come true?

Story
🎄 A Christmas Letter to Santa – From Alex 🎄 Alex | 4 Years | 61 lbs | Poodle Mix Dear Santa, My name is Alex, and I’m a gentle, Eeyore-hearted boy hoping for one Christmas wish… a forever home. I came to FairyTails with my son, Scozy, and my partner, Stella. We were matted, dirty, and covered in fleas after being used for backyard breeding and then discarded. But FairyTails worked their magic—baths, grooming, warm beds, food, and kindness. I even went to weekly training and learned how to walk on a leash! Santa, all I want is someone who sees my soft heart and believes I deserve a fresh start. Love, Alex 📩 To adopt: fairytailspetadoptions@yahoo.com 📞 859-744-7729 All FairyTails pets come fully vetted, spayed/neutered, microchipped, vaccinated, groomed, and ready for their new home.

Story
🎄 Meet Rico — Hoping to Be Home for the Holidays! ❤️💚 This scruffy little gentleman is Rico, a 2-year-old, 11.8-lb Shih Tzu mix who’s full of spunk, sweetness, and Christmas cheer! 🎅✨ He’s new to FairyTails, and it didn’t take long for our staff to fall head-over-heels for him. Rico’s personality is the perfect blend of cuddly, playful, and merry, and he’s quickly learning his potty-training manners. With his soft scruffy fur and bright hopeful eyes, this little guy would look absolutely adorable curled up under your Christmas tree—and he may even try to help you unwrap a present or two. 🎁🐾 He’d do wonderfully in a loving home ready to share their heart and holiday magic. Because he’s a spunky little elf, a fenced yard is required, and he’d do best in a home without small children. ❤️💚 Adopt Rico and make this Christmas the one where unconditional love came wrapped in fur. ⸻ 📩 Please email fairytailspetadoptions@yahoo.com to obtain an application or submit an Adopt A Pet inquiry. We will email you an application promptly. If you do not receive an application, please check your spam folder or call us at 859-744-7729. 🎁 All rescues at FairyTails arrive fully ready to join your family! Our pets come to you dewormed, fully vetted, spayed/neutered, dental exam, heartworm tested, flea/tick & heartworm monthly preventative, microchipped, vaccinated, bathed, and professionally groomed. They are housed either in loving foster homes or in cozy suites at our facility, complete with warm bedding, toys, food, water, and plenty of love while they wait for their forever homes.
