About Fairy

Fairy is a tiny princess who knows exactly what she wants: to be loved, cuddled, and carried around as much as possible. At just 10-12 months old and weighing only 7 pounds, Fairy is a young Maltipoo who has already mastered the art of lounging for hours and charming anyone nearby with her sweet presence. Her coat is described as soft and non-shedding, which could be ideal for people with allergies. She prefers snuggling over roughhousing and will happily claim your lap as her throne. Daily life with Fairy is mellow. She starts her mornings with a quick trip outside before breakfast, where her food tastes matter just as much as her comfort. Each workday, she calmly naps in a crate for up to 8 hours, then is eager to reunite and settle in for even more together time. Fairy is crate trained, walks well on a leash with gentle encouragement, and knows that outside is for potty breaks. She’ll sleep soundly next to you at night and, though a bit shy at first, quickly blossoms into a confident and affectionate companion. Fairy gets along with other dogs when given proper introductions and would likely thrive with older, gentle kids who can respect her sensitive side. She’s still learning about the world, so patience and a gentle approach go a long way in building her confidence. Apartments, condos, or homes with yards could all make good options, as long as her people are ready to provide endless affection—and maybe a stroller ride here and there. Most importantly, Fairy needs a family that will spoil her in all the right ways. Ready for a snuggly sidekick who sees belly rubs as a basic human responsibility? What are you waiting for?
