Details
Spayed or Neutered,
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
Father has moved to a nursing home and we need to find a new home for this sweet girl. She does great with my other two dogs and three kids. Unfortunately our HOA doesn't allow more than two pets. She is a happy, loyal and loving companion with brief jolts of energy when playing outside but prefers lazy time indoors as she is a senior 10+ years old.

Story
We rescued Cosmo's mom on the side of the highway when she was pregnant in Feb 2024. Unfortunately his people were unable to overcome their daughter's allergies and made the difficult decision to rehome. From his previous owner: 🐾 Meet Cosmo! Cosmo is a 1½-year-old Black Lab mix — sweet, goofy, and always just a little too happy to be here 😄. He’s about 75 lbs, neutered, microchipped, up-to-date on shots, and ready for his next adventure! He loves running, playing fetch, and hanging out with his people. Food-motivated, trainable, and happiest when he’s included. 💨🦴💗 **Cosmo did well with children in his previous home. He can be wary with unfamiliar people or dogs at first but warms up with patience and space. While he is not aggressive towards cats, he is very interested and will give chase. He has a lot of evergy and would love a fenced yard where he can run or another outlet for exercise.
