Story
My dog’s name is Ace. I purchased him when he was only 8 weeks old. He is a Border Doodle. (Border Collie/ Standard Poodle) He is now almost 5 years old come this July 24th. He is house trained. He responds to general commands such as sit, stay, come, give my paw. He is very smart. He loves to play outside. He likes to fetch. He loves running playing hide and seek and basketball. He loves going on walks. He loves treats. He eats twice a day with treats in between. He barks at people passing by his home and ringing the doorbell. I do not have any other pets so I don’t know how he will react to another pet. I have grandchildren and he does well with them. He seems to have anxiety towards people he doesn’t know but once he gets your scent and gets to know you he’s fine. Overall he is an awesome sweet boy. I work during the day and I don’t have the energy after work to walk him and spend time with him like he deserves. I’m looking for someone to spend time with him and to love him like me.

Story
Meet ✨Dami✨ — a beautiful, intelligent girl with a thoughtful personality and the classic brains and drive that come with a herding breed. Dami can be a little reserved when first meeting new people and situations, preferring to take her time to observe and feel comfortable before fully opening up. Once she begins to trust you, though, her sweet and loyal personality truly starts to shine. As a herding dog, Dami is incredibly smart and thrives when she has both mental and physical outlets. She’s the kind of dog who enjoys having a “job” to do, whether that’s learning new skills, going on adventures, working on training, solving enrichment puzzles, or staying active alongside her people. Without enough stimulation, her busy herding-dog brain can easily become bored, so she’s looking for a home that understands the importance of enrichment, routine, and structure. Dami would do best with a patient family willing to let her warm up at her own pace and help continue building her confidence through positive experiences. She isn’t the type of dog to instantly jump into every situation, but with time, kindness, and consistency, she forms deep bonds and becomes an incredibly rewarding companion. She’s searching for a forever home that will appreciate both her sensitive side and her intelligent working-dog nature. With the right guidance, plenty of enrichment, and lots of love, Dami has all the potential to grow into an amazing best friend and loyal partner for life. ✨ - Around 4 years old - Currently 45lbs and on track to lose a couple pounds - Prefers to be the only dog in the home - Adoption fee: $175 To inquire about this dog, please email dogs@adoptapetfenton.com.

Meet Pythagoras! SEE STRAYCATION UPDATE BELOW! This 50-pound border collie/husky mix is five years old and is as wonderful as they come! You don't have to be a math whiz to realize how special this boy is! Pythagoras is back at the kennel after enjoying some much needed time away in a foster home. We we are excited to share all we've learned about this amazing boy. House-trained & crate-trained, he aims to please! Pythagoras lived with a feline friend and he may have the capacity to live with a dog-savvy cat that can hold their own. He also loves playing with other pups so if you're looking for a pal for your dog, check him out! Handsome and attentive, this boy is the whole package. Pythagoras enjoys his time outdoors where you can witness his curious, playful side. He rides well in the car, is good on leash, and is ready to hit the town with you! Check out his outing video! He'd make an excellent travel pal and hiking buddy! Pythagoras already knows how to sit and is a fan of all sorts of treats. He knows a few different commands and is highly trainable. Pythogoras loves all sorts of toys and would benefit from food puzzles and other toys providing mental stimulation. Keeping him engaged is key to keeping him a happy boy! His foster family had no issues taking food or toys away. Of course Pythagoras also has a sensitive side and loves to be close to his people. You'll often find him nuzzled up on a comfy chair next to his people where he proceeds to give the best kisses! He'll never pass up a belly rub and is a very connecting boy. He also does well in the bath. Pythagoras with thrive in an active home with lots of daily exercise, continued training with boundaries, and a yard to enjoy. Someone with border collie experience is preferred. At the end of the day, he sleeps quietly through the night and will curl up with you in bed if allowed. Based on our evaluation, we feel Pythagoras would do best in an active home with adults or families with kids ages twelve and up. He may have the capacity to live in a home with other dogs and we are happy to do a meet and greet with your family fur baby. If you think he could be the pup for you, head to greatlakesdogrescue.com today and submit your application for our playful Pythagoras!

Story
Hello, I'm Flash, a young and energetic pup with a heart full of hope and a mind full of potential! I'm a friendly and social guy who just adores the company of people. I am about a year old and 41 pounds of love. With my keen intelligence, I'm always up for a good mental challenge, and I find great joy in tasks and activities that keep my mind active and engaged. In my downtime, I love nothing more than forming deep connections with my favorite people. I'm an extremely affectionate boy who thrives on leadership and direction. I'm also sensitive and responsive to my surroundings, taking cues from those around me to guide my actions. An ideal day for me includes a good hike with a purpose—perhaps with a backpack to carry some gear? I love feeling useful and part of a team! I'm always eager to please and ready for adventures, big or small. I'm looking for a special family who understands the unique traits and needs of my herding breed. I just love other dogs, so if there is another friendly pup in the home, I would love to meet them. My best friend here at the rescue is Alistair, we have so much fun together. I have a very balanced play style and can let other dogs take the lead, I seem to be very tolerant of other dog's shenanigans! A home with active individuals who can provide me with the mental stimulation and physical exercise I thrive on would be perfect and where any children are at least 13 years old. In return, I promise to be your loyal companion, offering endless love and fun adventures. With my boundless enthusiasm and devotion, I know I can be the paw-some addition to your life that you've been waiting for. I would love it if you came to meet me, I think I am the perfect blend of fun and affection and I can't wait for a family to love. If you are interested in Flash and are at least 21 years old, please come to our kennel during business hours, make an appointment, or fill out an application at k9stray.com and an adoption counselor will be in touch. We look forward to helping you find your new best friend! *Please check your lease agreements for breed/weight restrictions prior to applying. We also do not do cat testing, so we do not know how a dog will do with cats. Not all dogs are available to go home on the same day you first meet.*

** CURRENTLY IN A LOVING FOSTER HOME, PLEASE SUBMIT AN ADOPTION APPLICATION IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN MEETING ME!! ** 💛🐾 MEET ARI 🐾💛 Sweet Ari… a dog who has already overcome so much, and one of the most deeply loving souls you will ever meet. When Ari first arrived, she was absolutely terrified. You couldn’t approach her, you couldn’t sit near her, the world felt too big, too scary, too unknown. But with patience, kindness, and time… everything changed. Within just a few weeks, this same scared girl was sleeping in bed, soaking up belly rubs, and learning what it truly means to feel safe and loved. 🌿 HER BEAUTIFUL TRANSFORMATION Ari is naturally a shy, sensitive dog, but when she feels secure, her personality blooms. 💛 Playful with her dog friends 💛 Loves running freely in the yard 💛 Adores walks and outdoor adventures 💛 A total cuddle bug when it’s time to relax She has discovered joy. She has discovered comfort. And most importantly… she has discovered trust. 🐾 WHAT ARI NEEDS TO THRIVE Ari’s next home must be one that understands her heart. ✔️ A securely fenced yard is REQUIRED for her safety and confidence ✔️ Another playful, confident dog is REQUIRED, she truly blossoms with a canine companion ✔️ A quiet, low-traffic home ✔️ No children ✔️ An experienced adopter who understands fearful or shy dogs Ari bonds deeply, but she needs the space to do it on her terms.

Someone who will: • Let her come to them • Celebrate her small wins • Give her consistency, safety, and love In return? You’ll get a loyal shadow, a snuggle partner, and a dog who will choose you, fully and forever. 🌅 THE LIFE SHE DESERVES Ari deserves slow mornings, sunny afternoons in the yard, playful moments with her dog friend, and peaceful nights curled up beside her person.
