Story
She is lovely. So smart and trainable. I would love to find her a family that will give her agility or some kind of work training. I am not giving her what she needs. She loves her walks and is good on a leash. She does get excited for other humans and dogs.Up to date on all meds. Last vet visit doc said she’s the healthiest dog they’ve seen in a long time.I really love her. I will regret this. AND I need to let her go to a place where she can have her needs better met.She is used to fenced yard. And she also runs well at a farm we visit, returns to me She still loves her Kennel and it will go with her.

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.

Story
Addie is smart, energetic, sweet, playful, quirky and loving. Unfortunately, she suddenly started attacking our cats unprovoked over the past year. She also has an issue with resource guarding, but this has been improving due to positive reinforcement. She has not been around many children, but she once nipped at a younger child running when she was 1yr due to her herding instinct. A friend of ours provoked an unsupervised level 3 bite from her in November 2024, and we went through reactive dog and in home training after. Despite this, she is occasionally still reactive, but she has not bitten anyone since. We are concerned with our cats’ safety, and the issue of us starting a family soon. Addie loves to show off all her tricks, play fetch, walk, run, swim, and cuddle. She would excel in agility or any working job. She would thrive in a home with people that love to stay active and can provide Addie with mental stimulation (no young children, maybe another dog). All her things included

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 me 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. 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
Nicky was my wife's dog. Now that my wife is in memory care Nicky is not getting the previous TLC attention she needs for a happy life. She is boisterously healthy and needs room to run. Perfect for really active children's playmate.She was purchased from a well known breeder of herding dogs. Maybe she could find a farm job? A spectacular athlete.She is reactive to other dogs while on a leash. Needs retraining. I just don't have the required time to invest in her as I close down this farm. She is very sweet and would certainly respond to concentrated training.

Story
Meet Apple Jacks!  This handsome man has a pretty harrowing background and because of that he believes people are pretty scary. Apple Jacks, or just Jacks for short, will need a special home. Lets get the requirements out of the way before we talk about how great this fella is!   1. His future forever home should have at least one other playful dog. Dogs give Jacks a lot of cofidence and are critical to his happiness.  2. A securely fenced in yard - because he was severly undersocialied, Jacks has no experience on leash and reacts poorly at this stage in his training. He gets very scared, flails, rolls, and tries to bite the leash off of him. While this behavior will improve with time, it's critical for his well being that he have a safe space that he can explore and use the bathroom while he's learning that the leash isn't scary.  3. A home with no young children - Jacks is easily startled and would not feel safe in a home that was excessively noisy or had little hands still learning to understand doggie boundaries. While he has never displayed any reactivity, he is jumpy and will attempt to flee (sometimes knocking down anything in his path) if he gets too startled.  4. Some fur pawrents to give him a whole ton of love and patience. Jacks is a beautiful dog, but he isn't a dog that is going to settle into your home the first day, the first week, or even the first month. His future home will need to be prepared to give him several months to fully decompress, learn routines, and feel safe receiving everyone's love.  Now that we've got the hard stuff out of the way, let me tell you all the wonderful things about Jacks! In time we have had the privlege of fostering him he has very quickly learned several important skills. Firstly, he leared where his crate is, that it's where hot dogs happen, dinner happens, bed time happens, and that he can use it as his safe space. He will now run right to his crate when you tell him crate. He has also picked up potty training rapidly and very rarely has an accident. He very much looks to the other dogs in his foster homes for social cues and learns rapidly from them.  In his current foster home there are two adults (1 M, 1 F) and 5 other dogs. He has warmed up more rapidly to the male in the home and within the very first day here his foster dad was able to pet him. Foster mom quickly followed and now he will comfortably approach for pets or ear scratches. He hasn't progressed to cuddling yet, but we think he's close! He does rest comfortable in the same room with both adult humans with no obvious discomfort and will sit comfortably between the humans while they enjoy evening TV.  Jacks is CRAZY for hot dogs. His foster family will cut hot dogs into small pieces and use them for high value training and Jacks thinks this might be the best thing he's ever experieced - the only thing better is rotiserre chicken! He takes treats patiently in the dog pack, doesn't push or shove, and takes them directly from human hands without incident.  If you think you might be the right person to give Jacks a new beginning, please visit our website for an adoption application: www.happyfeetpetrescue.com.  ##2706977##
