Story
Hi! I'm Fae and I'd love to be the newest member of your family! I am 8 weeks old and a little sweetheart. I am working on potty training, sit, stay, and come. I am the perfect age and temperament to start training to go to dog friendly places! I love all other dogs - they are my playmates! I also love the cat I'm fostered with but mostly ignore him. I am new to crate training, but I almost never have accidents anymore and will let you know when I need to potty. I'm learning to use the doggie door, and I am picking it up quickly. There's only one thing keeping me from being the happiest and luckiest pup in the whole world - I need a home and family of my very own! Don't you want to be my FORever family? If you are interested in adopting Fae please fill out an application on our website. Fae is only available for a local adoption. She is being fostered in Huntsville, AL.

Story
Ginger's mom was a very good friend to all of us here at the rescue. When she unexpectedly passed away, we took this sweet girl in immediately and she has been a joy to have around. Our friend had a bit of a heavy hand with the treats and Ginger was waaaay over weight! We put her on a diet right away and she is now slim and trim and ready to go to her forever home. Don't let her age hold you back, she is VERY active and healthy. Heart worm negative, crate trained, house broken and just a delight. She's fine with all dogs, kids and cats. She acts like a puppy and just loves to run and play. Let's give her a chance at a forever home! PLEASE NOTE THAT WE ARE LOCATED IN TENNESSEE AND YOU WILL NOT BE ABLE TO MEET OUR PETS PRIOR TO ADOPTION! ADOPTION FEE $250
