Story
Willow is a big-hearted girl with an even bigger personality. She’s a high-energy pup who loves to run, play, and carry her favorite toys everywhere she goes. Whether she’s chasing a ball, squeaking a toy, or zooming around the yard, Willow brings excitement and joy wherever she is. She would do best with an active family who can match her playful spirit and give her plenty of attention, exercise, and love. Willow is affectionate, fun, and full of life. After she burns off her energy, she’s happy to soak up attention and be close to her people. She has so much love to give and is looking for a home where she can be part of the family, continue learning, and have room to play and grow. Willow is ready to bring laughter, chaos, and unconditional love to the right home.

Story
Meet Roxi — a loving, high-energy sweetheart looking for the right forever home. 🐾 Roxi has been part of our family for the past 5 years after coming from a difficult situation. Despite her rough start, she has grown into one of the most affectionate dogs you could ever meet. She absolutely loves people, gives the best hugs, and wants nothing more than to be close to the ones she loves. If you sit down, expect Roxi to be right there beside you soaking up attention and belly rubs. She is wonderful with kids, cats, and other dogs, making her a great fit for a family environment. Roxi is also crate trained and does well with structure and routine. She has a playful, energetic personality and loves to run, play, and be involved in whatever her people are doing. Roxi does struggle with anxiety from her past and can get nervous in new situations. When she becomes anxious or scared, she may have accidents due to incontinence. We have worked very hard on house training over the years.

Story
Annie at a Glance 5 years old - 65 lbs - Red Heeler - Medium energy - House-trained - Must be an only dog Adoption fee: $50 My name is Annie and I have been patiently waiting at FairyTails Pet Adoptions for my very own forever family. This spring I would love a cozy couch, a soft blanket, and a family who wants me right by their side. One of my FairyTails friends took me home for a little sleepover, and guess what? I was excellent! I played in the yard, came inside and relaxed on the couch with my chew stick, slept through the night uncrated without a peep, and had zero accidents. I even went out to a dog-friendly brewery where I politely accepted treats and charmed everyone I met. I am a medium-energy sweetheart who loves scratches, attention, and being near my people. I need to be an only dog in my new home. I just really love soaking up all the affection and giving it right back. Iff you know a family looking for a loyal best friend, a couch snuggler, and a constant companion, please send them my way. I promise to love them more than anything. 📩 Ready to make Annie’s wish come true? Email ftadopt@gmail.com to request an application or submit an inquiry on Adopt A Pet.

Story
RIVER! The services we provide are truly invaluable to the hundreds of dogs we rescue each year. Recently, we were asked to help a dog out of Nicholas County. A rescue partner stepped in and removed him from a neglectful situation, and he has now safely come into our care. He will most likely remain in quarantine for a month or more and is scheduled to see the vet on Friday. Dogs like him need a safe, quiet place to spend that quarantine time — a place where they can decompress, begin to heal, and learn what safety feels like. Just like Wolfie, who needed months to recover and learn that humans could offer food, comfort, safety, and ultimately love, this dog now has that same chance. This is why our mission matters so deeply. These dogs need more than rescue — they need time, space, care, and compassion. Please consider helping us continue this mission. Your support makes it possible for dogs like him to have a safe place to land while they heal. 📩 Ready to adopt? Email ftadopt@gmail.com to request an application or submit an inquiry on Adopt A Pet.

Story
Moana is a cute little chihuahua gal recently surrendered to FairyTails by her owner. She plays with other dogs and is friendly, but a little scared of her new situation. Her sister, Audie, also was surrendered to Fairytails along with Winnie, a third dog in our care. Moana is about 20 pounds, so just the right snuggle size. As we learn more about her, we will post more information. Email ftadopt@gmail.com to request an application or submit an inquiry on Adopt A Pet.
