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
Forest was found barely alive, abandoned in the woods as a tiny puppy. He survived, healed, and was adopted last year. Now, through no fault of his own, he needs help again. Forest is almost a year old and full of life. Playful. Energetic. Loving. All-in. Due to an unexpected military deployment, his adopter can no longer care for him. Forest has already endured more than any pup ever should, and now he is facing the world alone again. Forest is neutered and up to date on all vaccines and vet care. He has boundless enthusiasm for life. He loves to play hard, run fast, learn new things, and then curl up for cuddles. He loves other dogs, though not every dog keeps up with his excitement. He needs space to move, time with people, and someone that loves an active dog. Apply to adopt or foster at FairytaleFarm.org/adopt

Story
Look at this handsome fella! This is Buddy! He was the product of being dumped, but that doesn't define him! This boy LOVES big! He is very playful and smart! He LOVES toys, most especially his KONG (with peanut butter) and his squeaky toy! He loves to watch TV, hang out on the couch, or by the pool. He is not at all aggressive and he leans into you for love. He is fine with other dogs, curious of the resident cat, but doesn't bother him. Buddy is 1-2 years old. He is up to date on vaccines and has just completed heartworm treatment. He is now neutered and microchipped. He was a fan favorite at the vets office! He is hesitant about getting in the car and it takes some coaxing, but this is the fear of being dumped, again. This will take time, but he will build confidence, there. Buddy is crate trained and working on housetraining, as he will mark, if he smells another male dog in the house. He would be fine as an only dog too. His ideal home is a retired family or an active family. He's a couch potato and lounger... but he can run and play with the best of them too! He would be best suited in a home where he is with a woman. He adores women. He is terrified of men. Buddy is one of the sweetest pitties we have ever come across! He deserves happiness too! Forever. To be considered for adoption, please go to our website and complete the adoption application. https://acfrescue.weebly.com/adoption-foster-and-volunteer-applications.html The adoption fee is $100. This covers his vet exam, all vaccines, heartworm test, prevention, neuter and chip.

Story
Poppy is a smart, playful dog. She loves giving kisses. She has been through an obedience class and was able to learn some commands like sit/stay/come, but her energy level makes it difficult for her to focus sometimes. She is very food-motivated, which has helped with training. That said, she doesn't resource guard. She has tried to eat toys or furniture on occasion so we have switched to giving her only tough toys like Kong and Benebone. Poppy is currently on meds for her hyper-activity and reactivity. Sadly, we have cats and also a family member recently diagnosed with a health issue, that makes Poppy's energy and rough play too much for our family. When Poppy has been able to run on a friend's farm and play with dogs her size she has been much less anxious and a lot happier. Poppy definitely needs a space to run, and another dog her size would help too. Poppy may not try to eat toys or need meds as she matures, but adopter should follow up on these issues.

Story
We unfortunately have to re-home our dog. It wasn't an easy decision, but we don't really have many options. My sister is stem cell transplant recipient. We're currently facing the worst case scenario with her recovery. We need to move her in, because she needs 24 hour care. Due to her limited mobility and her skin blistering terribly, Rico can't be around her. Rico is a sweet, also very strong dog. It wouldn't be fair to keep him locked up all day to make sure he's away from her. He's a dog that loves to cuddle with everyone. He thinks he's still a puppy that can sit on your lap. He needs someone(s) that will play with him and hug him. I mentioned he's very strong, so he will try to walk you. I'm hoping to re-home, instead of placing in a rescue.
