About Fae

They are waiting with paws crossed! Apply now! Fae is just over 4 years old and weighs 146 pounds. She’s spayed, vaccinated, and regularly protected with monthly flea, tick, and heartworm prevention. For those meeting her for the first time, Fae may seem shy and will need extra time to become comfortable with new faces. To ensure a gentle transition, multiple meet-and-greet opportunities and day trips are encouraged to help her settle in. Once she’s formed a bond, you’ll find an incredibly loyal best friend in her. Fae must always be the only pet in your home—unless you also adopt Lincoln, the other mastiff she’s already friends with. She’s not suitable for households with young children, and when you have a lot of company over, she will need to be safely kenneled. Fae is leash-trained, enjoys outdoor time, and would love a soft spot to relax indoors. She’s a loyal protector of her home, and her dedication runs deep—she has even donated blood to save other dogs. For her happiness and security, a fenced yard (6-foot privacy fence preferred) is strongly recommended so she can enjoy the outdoors safely. Fae deserves a peaceful, loving environment, as her current shelter life is stressful and she needs a new start. Lets make it official, apply to adopt!
