Did you know that in line with our mission to help homeless animals find their forever homes, we created a partnership with local shelters to include adoptable animals in styled wedding photo shoots!?
We take care of all of the logistics so that venues & wedding vendors can showcase that they are pet friendly, all while giving a rescue dog a fun adventure day out of the shelter!
Wondering how this program makes an impact?
Socialization increases the likelihood of an animal getting adopted & helps them lead healthier & happier lives
Often the event connects a homeless animal with their new forever family
It inspires & educates others on how they can give back to their community
It raises awareness for pet adoption
Contact us today for more info about this program
or if you’re looking for a new best friend, head to your local shelter!
Adopt Don't Shop - Rescue Stories *Part 2*
Meet this year’s contest entries & hear their rescue stories Part 2
Every year, we host our Adopt Don’t Shop contest where we reward one lucky couple with a FREE FairyTail Wedding for rescuing their pet(s)!
We had some pretty amazing entries this year & wanted to share their stories with you. Here is Part 2 of all of the rescue pups who entered!
Brody
@jc00p
“Our eight year old puppy brings so much joy to everyone he meets.
He has been the best (wo)man’s best friend that g girl could ask for.”
Gracie
@joelleteresa
“Never has there ever been a pair more fitting for the phrase “who rescue who?”
It’s been one year since we saved Gracie & one year since she saved my fiance.
Their bond makes me okay with being the third wheel.”
Fitzgeraldine
@queenfitzgeraldine
“Getting rescued was only the beginning for Fitz…
Before she was even five months old she adopted and returned twice.
But as they say… third time is a charm!
She is our best friend.”
Moose & Stella
@melissmuller
“A few days after moving to Orlando, we drove to the animal shelter "‘just to look’…
We fell in love with a big brown dog (Moose) who they warned us had been returned multiple times.
They practically gave him to us for free.
He was wild & out of control. We spent months working with him and giving him the stability he needed.
…and he became the perfect dog!”
Ellie
@elilily
“I’d seen just about every dog at this adoption ay and was feeling defeated as I turned to leave.
I pulled out my keys and barely caught this dog from the corner of my eye, sitting still in a pen full of puppies.
I immediately turned around to go back in and meet her.
We sat down and she walked right into my lap and plopped down.
In that moment I knew definitively: She was mine and I was her.
On paper, I may have rescued her. But the truth is, she rescued me.”
Butter
@giuliannaaa
“We share a special kind of love that no one can match.”
Seamus & Jolene
@maciver.it
“Adopting these two was life changing.
I appreciate them so much, along with the rescue organizations that made it possible for me to adopt these beautiful souls…
Home At Last Dog Rescue and Pennsylvania SPCA.”
Ripley
@heystraawberrry
“To know Ripley, is to love her.
We adopted her from Furever Bully Love Rescue last October.
She had been dropped off at the Humane Society with a broken jaw, broke teeth and her back covered in burns…
We met her and knew right away she was the perfection addition to our house.
She is the sweetest, most gentle dog I’ve ever met!
& finally… our 2019 Adopt Don’t Shop winner:
Theodore
Theodore loves toys, swimming and smiling!
He was rescued two years ago from Last Chance Animal Rescue

Bella Collina Wedding with Meeko - Orlando, FL
Meet Meeko the handsome husky & learn why this couple chose to include them in their special day!
Meeko is a handsome husky with a big personality!
He is a big part of his human’s lives & so when they decided to tie the knot,
they knew Meeko had to be a part of their special day!
Keep reading to find out a little more about this fluffy husky
& how we helped include him in Melissa & Camillo’s incredible wedding day!
Why did you include your dog in your wedding?
”Since we don’t have any human children of our own yet, our dog is our “baby”, and one of the most important members of our little family.
From the get-go we both agreed that he had to be there for our big day. It just wouldn’t have been the same without ALL of our family and friends there.”
What is the story of how your dog became a part of your family?
“As it turns out, we both really wanted a husky puppy. So when the topic came up of getting a dog together, it was a pretty easy decision.
We started contacting breeders/rescues, and eventually found a puppy we couldn’t wait to meet. We decided to take a road trip to go meet this little pup, and it was just love at first site for both of us! He’s been a part of our family ever since!”
Did you incorporate your dog into any other details on your wedding day?
“We had a custom cake topper made with a bride and groom kissing and a husky jumping on the bride (just like our dog does in real life to me when we show affection to each other and it makes him jealous)”
All dogs are the best dogs, but tell us something that makes your dog special?
“Oh man, where do I begin! Our little Meeko monster is so sassy and fully of personality! He’s VERY talkative and loves giving kisses.
He also loves to cuddle and has ZERO regard for personal space. If something small is on the couch, like a phone or a remote, he will whine and whine until you move it, but then he will literally sit on top of a human like they don’t even exist.”

A portion of this FairyTail Wedding was donated to Suncoast Animal League.
When it comes to actually carrying the wedding rings, we have an important recommendation—let’s leave the real rings to the humans!
