Notes from Fetching Hearts Rescue Corporation

Every princess deserves her happily ever after, and Rapunzel is ready for hers. Rapunzel is an affectionate, playful, active girl with so much love to give. She loves spending time with her doggy friends, running around a fenced yard, playing with her toys, and being wherever the fun is happening! She’s also an incredibly smart girl who would thrive with a family willing to take her to basic training classes. Not only will she enjoy learning her commands, but training will give her something to work that smart little brain while creating an amazing bond with her new family. Rapunzel does wonderfully with other dogs and would love having canine friends to play and romp with. She’s also great with older kids. We recommend older children simply because when this girl gets excited, she gets VERY excited and can be a little jumpy. It’s just Rapunzel’s way of saying, “I LOVE YOU SO MUCH I CAN’T CONTAIN MYSELF!” One thing Rapunzel can live without? Kitties! They are just a little too tempting and exciting for her, so her forever home should be cat-free. Rapunzel is dreaming of an active family, a fenced yard, lots of toys, doggy friends, adventures, training, snuggles, and all the love she’s been waiting for. She’s ready to stop dreaming about her happily ever after and start living it. Main changes: I played up the Rapunzel/princess theme without letting it overpower her personality, and made her training needs, activity level, fenced-yard preference, dog friendliness, older-kid recommendation, toys, and no-cat requirement clear while keeping everything positive and sweet. If interested in Rapunzel, please apply online: ADOPTION APPLICATION or email us at: Info. FetchingHeartsRescue@gmail.com.
