~Adoptable Toucan Dan 💙~ Handsome Dan, is a spunky, adorable, sweet, energetic, one year old boy who loves to cuddle! Dan was adopted from our rescue in May of 2024 at about 3 months old when no concerning behaviors were observed. Dan was surrendered back to rescue when he was about 6 months old for play and biting that was escalating to a point of being more intense than typical puppy behavior. Dan’s family noticed the behaviors escalate after sending Dan to a board and train program that used aversive training methods. Even several months later, poor Dan will still occasionally flinch with approached quickly/touched in the neck area. When Dan was returned to rescue, we wanted to ensure that we were setting him up for success with guidance from our vet. We have been ensuring that he gets daily mental and physical stimulation. Dan has also been neutered while with us. Dan has been back with us in rescue for 10 months and we have not seen any concerning behaviors. He has been with 3 different foster families and has really thrived in his latest foster home, with foster mom sharing that “he is the easiest foster she’s had yet!” Dan is crate trained, and potty trained and loves meeting new people and animals. He is the first to greet people when they enter his foster home and wants to greet everyone when he goes on walks. Dan is doing well walking on a leash, but since it’s exciting to make new friends, he is still learning to walk without pulling. He loves other dogs so much, that sometimes his playfulness can be a little too much and “annoying” to older dogs or dogs who are not as playful. A similar sized dog who is playful or a home by himself would be best, although he has done fantastic with his little foster puppies. Dan loves playing in the fenced in yard, but also enjoys going for walks and for car rides, so would love an adopter who enjoys being outside and who would like an errand buddy! Young children can be overstimulating for many dogs because of their fast movements and often higher volume levels 😂 so we think a home with children ages 10 and up would be best for Dan. “Toucan Dan” deserves the best. He is truly a rescue favorite and has thrived over the past 10 months. If you think this handsome, smart, cuddly boy would make a great sidekick for you, please complete the application below. Dan is up to date on vaccines, microchipped and neutered for an adoption fee of $375. 💙 https://form.jotform.com/fairytailsrescuemd/dogpuppy-adoption-applicationd (fb)

Isla is gaining weight slow and steady just like she should 🥰 she goes in for a recheck at the vet to see just how much this week. She is still just the sweetest. At an estimated 4yrs old it makes you wonder what those 4yrs of her life were like up to this point. We are just excited for her future so she can forget she was ever mistreated 💗 #rescuedogsrock #shelterdog #fairytailsrescuemaryland #Maryland (fb)
