Story
Randy loves his walks and will play tug of war with you. He will fetch and bring back. He plays rough with other dogs and has jealousy tendencies so being an only dog is preferred. He gets territorial of his environment so a secured fenced in yard is a must for him to relax in his yard and soak up some rays.

Bruno was a stray in the Miami area, wandering the streets, hoping someone would notice him. He was dumped to fend for himself when a good Samaritan took him off the streets to safety and Fairytail Endings Rescue brought him into their facility. He's about 7 years old, very mellow, house trained, great on the leash, likes car rides and will just chill on the couch with you. He loves his human companions and would make a great addition to the household.

Story
Chance was found abandoned at a home in East Coast, FL. He is about 7 years old. The owner moved out, leaving him behind and when new tenants moved in, he kept coming in the house. Chance was picked up by a rescue in that area and transferred to us. His name is Chance because we feel like he needs a chance at an amazing life. Chance is currently enrolled in Alpha Basic Training for Dogs and Humans in Englewood, Florida and passing with flying colors. The trainers have fallen in love with him and will give their training support for life for Chance. He is between 60-65 pounds, about two years old, crate and house trained, knows all his commands, and he's just a great well rounded dog. Chance would do best with older children in the home because of his size and energy.
