BONDED PAIR!!! These girls will need to find a forever home together. Hi there my name is Mary Kate, they say I'm 2-3 years old but I act very much as a puppy. I love kids, playing outside, packing my toys around, getting in the bath, dancing for treats and most of all lovings. I am a huge snuggle bug and just want a forever home for me and my sister, I am more withdrawn that my sister Ashley but that's because I learned at a younger age you can't always trust people. On the up side, I do pretty good on a leash, I am crate trained and puppy pad trained, I love also go outside to potty. If you can find it in your heart to welcome me and my sister in your home that would be amazing. Hello there, I'm Ashley ! I'm estimated to be 2-3 years old, crate trained, puppy pad trained and trained to go outside and potty as well. I dance for treats, toys, and even love getting snuggles! Kids seem to love me and my sister, and we love them as well! What more could you ask for? Im outgoing, bubbly, quiet, tend to my sister, and she tends to me..all we ask is to keep us together and love us forever. If you're interested in giving me and my sister Mary Kate forever homes then hit that application button, what are you waiting for?

Story
Meet Bridget 💕 Bridget is a 9-year-old Shih Tzu who has already lived through more than any little dog ever should. She was found in a rundown home, extremely matted and neglected, until a kind-hearted woman stepped in and convinced her owner to surrender her so she could finally get the help she needed. Bridget was groomed, vetted, and began learning what love and comfort feel like. Just four short months later, that same wonderful woman unexpectedly passed away — and Bridget once again found herself needing rescue. Bridget does have some hearing and vision impairment, but she is otherwise healthy and fully vetted. She’s currently settling in, learning her new surroundings, and doing what she does best: enjoying long, peaceful naps on soft beds. She isn’t looking for chaos or constant activity — just a safe, permanent place to rest, be loved, and feel secure. Small dogs like Bridget can easily live to be 15 years old, which means she still has many years of companionship, quiet moments, and gentle love to give. If you have a calm home, a cozy bed, and a heart open to giving a senior dog the happy ending she deserves, Bridget may be your perfect match. ✨ Can you be Bridget’s final landing spot? ✨

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 ftadopt@gmail.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.
