SALLY: SMALL DOG. BIG PERSONALITY 💕
1yr old, 13lb, Terrier mix, Spayed Female

Cooking dinner? She's nearby. Watching TV? She's right beside you. Walking to another room? Well, obviously, she's coming too 😂

She's affectionate without being clingy, happy to sit beside you or quietly follow at your heels. She may take a little time to warm up at first, but give her a chance to feel comfortable, and you'll discover a sweet little companion who's happiest simply being part of your universe.

Sally is a leisurely stroll kind of girl. She's wonderful on leash, doesn't pull, and prefers an ambling pace over anything resembling cardio. 😂 One good walk, a few backyard zoomies, and she's ready to clock out for the day and resume her very important couch potato duties. 🛋️ She has been accident free in the home being let outside routinely. She does make a little fuss in her crate when initially left but does settle.

Like many little dogs navigating a great big world, Sally can be a bit skittish about the unexpected. A little wind rustling through the cornstalks? Clearly cause for concern. A 1,200-pound horse? Bring it 💪🤣

Sally is a funny little combination of cautious and headstrong. She may startle at the smallest things, but don't mistake that for a lack of opinions! She's got a stubborn streak, a bit of a bossy side, and a confidence that occasionally exceeds her 13-pound frame. She's a little work in progress, but she's got plenty of personality to keep you smiling!
She's ready to trade her foster home for a forever home. Could it be yours? 🐾

Sally is microchipped, spayed, up to date on vaccines and preventatives with an adoption fee of $425. If you are interested in adding this precious girl to your family please fill out our application at: https://form.jotform.com/fairytailsrescuemd/dogpuppy-adoption-application

Available for Adoption

Meet Teddy Graham 💕 Graham is a 3yr old, 50lb, neutered male that was saved from a local high kill shelter. Graham is a super sweet boy who greatly enjoys life despite the rough start he has had since we’ve pulled him from the shelter where he arrived as a stray. Graham enjoys squeaky toys and chewing on bones in his foster home. He did well meeting the resident dog in his temporary foster home after slow introductions where they enjoyed playing chase in the yard together. Graham appears to be house broken when let out consistently and is working on his positive relationship with the crate. 😋 He was doing well with his temp foster and she could even leave him lose in the finished basement without him getting into or destroying anything. Graham basically seems like your average joe but he’s not lazy by any means. He would really like a home with a playmate to run around with, someone to take him on walks or play fetch outback before some snooze time on the catch for some tv for the evening; so nothing major but a little something.
Graham is microchipped, neutered, up to date on vaccines and preventatives with an adoption fee of $375. If you think this Teddy Graham would be the perfect furever member of your family please fill out our adoption application at: https://form.jotform.com/fairytailsrescuemd/dogpuppy-adoption-application
Thanks!

This sweet boy, Graham, needs a foster or adopter NOW! We saved him from the PG County euthanasia list, but his foster can’t keep him any longer due to no fault of his!! 🥺🙏💔

Graham is a 3yr old, 50lb, adorable boy that needs a couch to lay on a place unpack his bags. He would prefer a furever home but at the moment even a foster home is needed due to no fault of his. If you can open your home and heart and give some time and patience to this deserving soul Fairy Tails provides the rest to our fosters; food, vetting, crate, toys etc.

Meet Oreo!

This adorable little nugget is Oreo, an approximately 8-month-old, 18-pound spayed female mix who was found as a stray and, sadly, was never claimed. Now, she’s ready to find the loving forever family she deserves!

Oreo is the total package! She enjoys dogs, cats, and kids, making her a wonderful potential addition to a variety of families. She’s still very much a puppy, so you can expect some playful zoomies and the occasional stolen sneaker—but overall, she’s a very well-behaved girl!

A few of Oreo’s favorite things:

🐶 Playing with other dogs
❤️ Spending time with her people
🚗 Riding in the car
🥰 Snuggling after she’s gotten her puppy zoomies out
👟 The occasional “borrowing” of a sneaker!

Oreo is doing great with her potty training and will just need continued positive reinforcement and consistency as she settles into her new home.

Oreo is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccines and preventatives. Her adoption fee is $450.

If you think this sweet, playful girl could be the perfect companion for your family, please fill out our adoption application here: https://form.jotform.com/fairytailsrescuemd/dogpuppy-adoption-application

Always recommend this…

MEETING METHODS MATTER

When two dogs meet, it’s not just about meeting each other.

Dogs are also experiencing the physical environment, unfamiliar scents and sounds, available space, resources, people, leash restriction, previous experiences, the other dog's body language as well as their current emotional state and level of arousal.

Where and how an introduction happens can influence the success of an initial meeting.

This is why meeting somewhere neutral that neither dog considers home is the recommended method. There are fewer established resources and fewer reasons for either dog to feel that their personal space is being invaded.

A successful introduction is about creating conditions where dogs can feel safe enough to decide what they think about each other.

Dogs don’t need to say hello to each other to have a successful encounter.

It’s not about trying to force an immediate friendship or acceptance.

Walking parallel, sniffing, looking at each other, looking away, exploring, moving further apart or gradually decreasing distance is all an important part of building a relationship and helping each dog feel safe.

Maybe they will become friends, maybe just comfortable companions or maybe just mostly ignore each other - all of these outcomes are still successful.

Successful introductions aren’t about forcing dogs be friends - it's about giving dogs enough choices to make their own decisions about how close they want to be.

ADOPTED SEPT 2026

Samuel is an approximate 2yr old, 25lb, neutered male Shih Tzu mix found as a stray & never claimed 🥺, so his history is mostly unknown. Other than working on some separation anxiety in his crate he is the perfect gentleman and companion. For still being what we consider a puppy, he has a very laid back personality. He walks great on leash, he's not destructive, he travels well, he doesn't soil in the house & he shows proper play with other dogs his size. He has not been around larger dogs at this time. Cats & kids are unknown, but his foster mom has seen no red flags. He likes to play with toys & balls, & chew on bones. Shows no resource guarding, with humans or other dogs. He very much attaches to "his person" and wants to be wherever they are, but is not suffocating.
Did I mention HE WALKS GREAT ON LEASH? AND likes to talk to you? 🎉
Samuel is neutered, microchipped and up to date on his vaccines and preventatives with an adoption fee of $425.
