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.

Forest

American Staffordshire Terrier

Female, 10 mos
Kernersville, NC
Size

Details
Good with kids, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
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
Sirius shakes paws, lies down, waits until you give him the release word; before touching his food. He is fully house trained and loves to play. He is also crate trained and likes to sleep and nap there where he feels safe. He has some anxiety with certain sounds like the vacuum cleaner etc. He loves other dogs but needs someone with patience when out walking on a leash. He is a strong boy. When he wags his tail it could be a weapon if he’s really happy. Lol. I adopted him from the Humane Society when he was 3 months old. It breaks my heart but I have had declining health and have to have back surgery and he is not getting the exercise, attention he needs. Please consider adding this sweet boy to your family if he will have room to run or is able to go on walks. I work from home, he has always been an indoor pup and is happy when mommy is around I can supply everything he needs, food, toys etc
