Molly is a loving 5 year old Sheepadoodle, who loves to run around and loves playing fetch. We got her as a puppy in 2020, and she has grown fearful when playing with other dogs.The ideal home for Molly is a home where she is an only dog and has toys with room to run. She is as loving a dog as they come and will cuddle you to death, just recently she has began resource guarding and causes some issues with our other dogs and we need her to be the in a one pet home.

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Sadie is a 13 year old large breed dog who is looking for a quiet, loving home to spend her golden years. She has been a deeply loved companion her whole life, but due to her owner moving into assisted living, she now needs a new place to land. She would do best in a calm, low-traffic home where she can relax and feel safe. About Sadie: • Age: 13 years • Size: Large • Health: Overall healthy, not currently on medications • Mobility: Mild arthritis; prefers minimal stairs • Activity level: Low • Personality: Gentle, calm, affectionate Sadie enjoys short walks outside but is happiest resting in a cozy spot and receiving head pets. She has a quiet, soulful presence and would make a wonderful companion for someone looking for a relaxed, easygoing dog. Other pets: Sadie can do well with calm dogs but may feel overwhelmed by younger or high-energy dogs. She may also be happiest as the only pet in the home. Sponsorship: We are pleased to announce that Sadie’s veterinary bills will be partially covered by Vintage Fur Senior Dogs Inc! Sadie will receive $600 every year in veterinary coverage for the rest of her life. This money may be used for medical treatments including prescription medication, bloodwork, imaging and more. To learn more about the sponsorship, please contact Fairytale Farm Rescue & Sanctuary or visit https://www.vintagefur.org Sadie isn’t looking for much. Just a quiet place, a soft bed, and someone to sit beside her. If you have room in your heart and home for a senior dog, Sadie would love to meet you. Every fairytale needs a hero... maybe this one is you.
