Story
Forest is such a fun, happy, adventurous, energetic, cuddle bug of a dog. He has been chosen twice for adoption and both families had to back out due to circumstances that had nothing to do with Forest. But this has delayed his hopes of finding a home and he is so sad to keep being overlooked. He loves other dogs, but they don’t always love him back because he doesn’t understand personal space yet. He is about 6 months old, fully up to date on vaccines and his neuter will be covered. He just needs a place to run and play and then relax and cuddle. Forest also LOVES playing in water. Application on our website or ask us anything! Note: Forest comes with a neuter contract - Fairytale Farm will pay for the neuter surgery and you agree to follow through with the appointment. The vet recommends he is neutered at around 8 months old (September).

Story
We adopted Chi 5 years ago. Unfortunately, our youngest has developed severe allergies and we cannot house her anymore. Chi is a sweetheart. Always willing to give love and attention. She is well behaved and likes to play with children and adults alike. Chi is energetic but is not high maintenance. She is used to have kids around, as we are a family with 3 kids. Chi likes her walks outside, as well as enjoys lying around. If kids our adults want to give her love and attention, she is always willing to spend time and pour love onto them. She has had no medical issues, and has had all appropriate vaccines.

Story
We’ve had this sweet boy since he was a tiny puppy, and now at 3 years old, he’s grown into a happy, playful companion. He’s a true Labrador—loves water, loves food, and absolutely adores playing fetch and exploring the outdoors. He thrives on space and freedom, so we’re looking for a home where he can run and roam—ideally somewhere with lots of land, like a farm or countryside property. He’s best as a solo dog, where he can soak up all the love and attention. If you’re looking for a loyal, energetic friend who will bring joy to your days, he’s ready to meet you!
