Story
The only Reese’s Pieces you actually need 🧡 Reese, also known as Reese Cup or Reese’s Pieces, is a 4 to 5 year old German Shepherd mix who is full of personality, energy, and love. He is the kind of dog who brings fun wherever he goes and is always ready to be part of the action. This boy is all about fun 🎾 Reese LOVES to play. If there is a ball, he is instantly all in. Fetch, walks, yard time, adventures, he is ready for it all. He is goofy, active, and excited about life. He would thrive in a home that enjoys a playful, energetic dog and wants a true companion for daily activities. He is great with other dogs 🐶 and really enjoys having playmates to run and play with. He is also good with kids and currently lives with a 2 year old. Because of his energy, he may do best with older kids who can match his enthusiasm, but he is very sweet, social, and loves being included in whatever is going on. Reese lives with 4 cats 🐱 and thinks they are all potential best friends. He is curious and playful around them and would happily engage them in a game if they were interested. Reese is crate trained, potty trained, and leash trained. He is smart and eager, but still benefits from consistency and routine. He does best when let out every 6 to 8 hours to stay on track and continue doing well. Reese would thrive in an active home that can give him daily exercise, structure, and plenty of love. He is loyal, fun, and the kind of dog who will always be by your side ready for whatever comes next. 📍 Located in Paint Lick, Kentucky We are now accepting applications for Reese 🧡 Apply here: https://www.fureverbrookehaven.com/fosteradopt

Story
I’m Phineas, a floppy‑eared German Shepherd with a big heart and an even bigger zest for life, and I’m on the lookout for my forever family. I’m an active, playful guy who loves romping around the yard, inventing my own games, and showing off my goofy side, but I’ll also happily curl up beside you once I’ve gotten my energy out. I can be a bit vocal—what can I say, I’ve got thoughts and I like to share them—but it’s all part of my charm and my way of staying connected to my people. If you’re searching for a loyal companion who brings enthusiasm, personality, and plenty of floppy‑eared joy into your home, I’m your dog. Give my friends at the Adoption Center a call at 859-873-5491 to find out more about me or to schedule an appointment to meet me!

Story
Hi everyone! My name is Jada and I’d like to take a second to introduce myself. It pains me to say it, but the humans have told me I’m now a senior dog. I know, it sounds like I’m old, but I swear I still have some spunk left! I love to hang out with my people and I’m happiest when I’m with them. I love to go for walks, but I don’t mind if we snuggle on the couch and eat some popcorn while we watch TV either. Cats are a lot of fun to chase, but the humans said I shouldn’t do that, so I am looking for a home without them because they are just too tempting! I can be a little selective about the dogs I like too, so if you have any other dogs at home, I will need to meet them first and make sure we can be friends before I come to live with you. Could I be a perfect fit for your family? Give my human friends at the Adoption Center a call at 859-873-5491 to learn more about me or to schedule an appointment to meet me!

Story
I’m Ferb, a goofy, energetic German Shepherd mix who lives for playtime, silly antics, and exploring every corner of my world, even if I need a little extra time to feel fully at home. Once I’ve had a chance to sniff things out and understand my new surroundings, my personality bursts out—I’m all wagging tail, bright eyes, and ready‑for‑anything enthusiasm. I love being active, I love making my people laugh, and I’m happiest when I get to share my playful spirit with someone who appreciates a dog who’s equal parts fun and heart. If you’re patient, kind, and excited for an adventure buddy who just needs a moment to settle in, I think we might be a perfect match. Give my friends at the Adoption Center a call at 859-873-5491 to find out more about me!

Story
🐾 Meet River 🐾 River is a 9-month-old Shepherd mix weighing about 38 pounds, and what a difference a few months of love, care, and patience can make. When River first came to FairyTails through one of our rescue partners, he had been removed from a neglectful situation in Nicholas County. He was emaciated, weak, and missing much of the fur on his back, tail, and ears. He needed time to heal physically and emotionally while learning that people could be trusted. Today, River is thriving. His beautiful coat has grown back in, he has regained his healthy puppy energy, and he’s blossomed into a happy, active young dog. River has been attending FairyTails K9 Club training classes and is doing very well. He walks nicely on a leash, enjoys learning new things, and is at a wonderful age to continue training and bonding with his future family. River would make an excellent companion for an active person or family who enjoys hiking, exploring the outdoors, taking walks, or simply spending time playing in the yard. He is smart, eager to learn, and ready for his next adventure. Dogs like River remind us why rescue matters. Sometimes they need more than a safe place to land—they need time, consistency, and compassion to become the dogs they were always meant to be. Now River is ready for a family of his own. 📩 Ready to adopt? Email ftadopt@gmail.com to request an application or submit an inquiry on Adopt A Pet. If you don’t receive a response, please check your spam folder or call 859-744-7729. All FairyTails dogs are fully vetted and ready to join their new families. They come spayed/neutered, microchipped, up to date on vaccinations, dewormed, heartworm tested, on monthly preventatives, professionally groomed, and loved. Our dogs are cared for in foster homes or in spacious suites at our facility while they wait for their forever homes.
