About Audie

Audie, who you might have seen called Oddball or Oddie, landed at FairyTails after being surrendered by her previous owner. She’s a compact little dog, weighing about 20 pounds—pretty much made for laps. She gets along with other dogs and has a friendly streak, though you can tell she’s still figuring out her new surroundings. Her sister, Moana, plus another dog named Winnie, came in with her, so she’s used to having company. Audie’s people skills are solid, and she likes both dogs and humans. She doesn’t have house training down yet, so expect some work there. She’s spayed and her vaccinations are all current. She’s settling into her foster or suite at our place in Winchester, KY, and getting plenty of attention, food, and playtime as she adjusts. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
