Adoption Fee: $700 Fable – A Gentle Tale in the Making Every great story has a heartwarming hero, and Fable is ready to be yours! This 3-4-month-old sweetheart is the perfect balance of puppy curiosity and calm companionship. While she enjoys playing with toys and exploring her surroundings, she’s just as happy curling up in your lap and quietly soaking in the world around her. From the moment she entered her foster home, Fable has charmed everyone with her easygoing nature. She attends events and wins hearts with her calm demeanor, happily accepting pets and snuggles from everyone she meets. She plays gently with her sister, Saga, and her foster family’s dog but never gets too rowdy—she’s the kind of puppy who knows how to have fun without bouncing off the walls. Fable loves soft toys, gentle games of tug, and carrying around objects that seem interesting to her. She’s delightfully curious but not mischievous—she might tilt her head at a new noise or follow you from room to room, just to see what you're up to. When playtime is over, she’s content to settle down for a nap, preferably right next to you. A Day in the Life of Fable 6:30 AM – Rise and Shine!Fable starts her day with a big puppy stretch and a happy tail wag, ready to head outside for her morning potty break. She greets the world with soft puppy snorts and a little nose wiggle, taking her time to sniff the grass before trotting back inside for breakfast. 7:00 AM – Breakfast & Morning LoungingAfter a hearty meal, Fable finds the perfect sunbeam to lounge in while the household gets ready for the day. She’s not the type to zoom around at full speed—she’s more of a “watch the world go by” kind of puppy in the mornings. If you sit down with a cup of coffee, she’s right there, curling up beside you like a little lap warmer. 8:00 AM – School Drop-Off BuddyFable loves car rides, especially when they mean tagging along for school drop-off. She watches from her car seat, ears perked, as kids file into the schoolyard. Sometimes she gets a few gentle pats from little hands before heading back home for a mid-morning nap. 10:00 AM – Playtime & ExploringThis is Fable’s time to gently play with toys or trot around the house, carrying her favorite plush toy like it’s her prized possession. If you’re working from home, she’ll happily sit by your feet, occasionally looking up as if to say, “Still there? Good.” 12:00 PM – Afternoon Nap & Snuggle BreakFable is a professional napper. She’ll either curl up on her dog bed, right next to her foster sibling, or climb onto the couch for a snooze. If you’re around, she’d prefer your lap, thank you very much. 3:00 PM – School Pickup & Social HourBack in the car, Fable is ready for her afternoon outing. She happily soaks in all the sights and sounds of the school pickup line, wagging her tail at familiar faces. Sometimes she even heads to a soccer practice or game, where she politely watches from the sidelines, tail thumping as she takes in all the excitement. 5:30 PM – Dinner & Evening Wind-DownAfter dinner, Fable enjoys a little evening playtime—nothing too wild, just some soft toy chewing and a few gentle zoomies before settling down again. 7:00 PM – Cozy Couch TimeThis is Fable’s favorite part of the day. She loves curling up next to her people, watching whatever’s on TV (or pretending to watch while dozing off). She’ll sigh contentedly, nuzzle into a blanket, and enjoy the warmth of family time. 9:30 PM – BedtimeOne last potty break before bedtime, and then Fable is ready to settle into her crate or dog bed. She gives one last big stretch, a sleepy yawn, and drifts off into dreamland—probably dreaming of another perfect, love-filled day. Her Ideal Home Fable would thrive in a home that appreciates her balanced nature. She’s social and loves meeting new people, so she’d enjoy a family that includes her in their daily lives. Whether it’s lounging on the couch, tagging along to a pet-friendly café, or having a quiet play session, Fable is happy as long as she’s with her people. If you’re looking for a puppy who’s as loving as she is well-mannered, Fable is ready to start a beautiful new chapter with you!March 5, 2025, 2:03 pm
