Story
~Adoptable Izzy~ Izzy is a 5.5 month old, 18 pound cutie who loves playing with all sorts of toys, chewing on any kind of bones and playing fetch with the ball. She has a zest for life!  This girl has the cutest zoomies, high energy and can jump (agility may be her calling). She gives lots of kisses especially since her favorite thing is spending time with you and following where ever you go-including for a car ride. Izzy has done well with her crate for intervals during the day and sleeps through the night after a few minutes of settling in. She has not had an accidents yet in the house while in foster care. Izzy is very treat motivated so she learns quickly and is easy to train with positive reinforcement methods. Izzy will need a family with patience since everything is a new experience for this little one.  She seems to have limited exposure and experiences to many things before coming into rescue. She has been nervous around other dogs, and will need patient, slow introductions. Izzy will benefit from training and socialization to become more confident.  With all her gorgeous fluff, she will need routine brushing and grooming too. She’s done well with adults and children but we would prefer any children in the home to be at least 10 years or older so that the children can understand that taking things slow, and providing positive learning and training experiences are what Izzy needs to thrive!  This adorable bundle of joy would love to be your new best friend, and she is up to date on vaccines, microchipped and is scheduled to be spayed by the rescue. If you are open and willing to give her slow introductions to new dogs that she meets, provide her with socialization opportunities where she can continue to build confidence, and commit to daily training and exercise, as well grooming, then you’ve met your absolutely adorable match.  If you are interested in getting approved to meet her, please complete the application below! https://www.facebook.com/share/p/14k4U4E2mK/? https://form.jotform.com/fairytailsrescuemd/dogpuppy-adoption-applicationJanuary 8, 2025, 10:16 pm

Story
Hello, my name is: Bailey... but that`s Mrs. Bailey to you!DOB: 10/12/2013Sex/Breed: Spayed female Shih TzuWeight: 8.1 lbsRescued From: Owner surrenderBailey is the old lady that lives down the street and thinks she can do whatever she wants because she has lived longer than you. She’s always dressed to the nines, accessorized, and wearing bright pink lipstick. The kids on the street think she’s mean because she yells at them for riding their bikes in front of her house. If you take the time to get to know her at her pace, you’ll learn she is a real sweetie... but don’t cross her or she’ll give you the business. Bailey is looking for an experienced family with a quiet home to give her the princess treatment through her golden years and put up with her spiciness. She prefers to do things on her own terms and doesn’t hesitate to show you when she doesn’t like something. Bailey hasn’t gotten into anything she shouldn’t in her foster home, likes to go for walks and does well on leash, and is an expert snuggler. She seems house trained and doesn’t ask for very much. All this old broad needs is a soft place to land and live out her life. Being crated is beneath her, but she is pretty house-trained if she’s let out often. She sleeps soundly through the night, most happy in a bed or on the couch. Treats can be used as bribes. Oh, and she’s not a huge fan of other pets – sharing attention is also beneath her.Anyone looking for a crotchety old lady dog to fill your lap? All our pets are microchipped, spayed/neutered, and up to date on vaccinations and preventatives.Interested in adopting?

Story
Chiquita comes from an Amish farm, she came to bring joy to our lives when she was barely 10 weeks old. She has 13 years of life and 13 years in our home, today unfortunately because of our pace of life both at work and now with 2 children a newborn has been difficult for her we have gone through many changes that have her tense and we are looking for a home that gives her the attention that we can no longer give her since we work late and it is difficult to dedicate time to her. She is a very sweet and loving girl. She doesn't like being alone, she's playful. She knows some techniques such as turning, giving the paw but she likes to be rewarded with croquettes.

Story
Meet Miles, a 10-year-old Shih Tzu mix with a sprinkle of Maltese magic, and enough personality to keep you entertained for years. This little man is looking for his chill kingdom—a low-key home where fewer furry roommates roam, and his occasional "grumpy pants" moments are respected. If he gives a little growl, don’t worry—that’s just his way of saying, “Not right now, thanks.” Miles doesn’t do pickups unless he requests it; everything’s on his terms, and that’s part of his charm.The ideal sidekick? A sweet, playful female dog who understands and respects boundaries. Miles thrives on routine and is house-trained as long as you keep him on a schedule. He's fully vetted, neutered, vaccinated, and even had a dental—so his pearly whites are just as charming as his personality.Once a severely matted stray, Miles was scooped up by Peyton's Place Animal Rescue, and he’s since revealed his total softie side. He's the king of cuddles—when he’s ready. His favorite snooze spot? Curled up at the foot of your bed, where he can keep watch. Oh, and did we mention his diva streak? Miles demands to be carried up and down stairs, and trust us—he'll unleash his inner rockstar if you don’t oblige.Despite his quirks, Miles is an absolute sweetheart who just wants a cozy home where he can rule in comfort. Can you offer this spunky senior the royal treatment he deserves? Apply now and meet the most lovable diva around!   ##2207857##
