Story
Meet your future best friend, Mochi 🐾✨ This puppy is a perfect bundle of energy, curiosity, and irresistible cuteness—but like all puppies, Mochi is still learning how to be the best dog possible. Continued basic training will be needed, including leash skills, crate training, potty training, and everyday manners. With a growing body and a busy brain, puppies need structure, enrichment, and positive outlets for energy to prevent overstimulation, mouthiness, or the development of unwanted habits. A home committed to consistency, patience, and mental and physical exercise will help Mochi grow into a confident, well-balanced adult dog. With the right foundation, the possibilities are endless! 💛🐶 -Around 2-2.5 months old -Currently under 10lbs -Good with kids, cats and dogs -Adoption fee: $400 This dog is currently housed at our shelter. If you are interested, please come in at your earliest availability during our open hours, no appointment necessary. We do same-day adoptions, do not hold dogs, and work on a first-come, first-served basis as long as it is an excellent fit for both parties. If you have questions or want to possibly schedule an appointment on one of our closed days, you may email dogs@adoptapetfenton.com. Dog adoption fees include spay/neuter, rabies vaccine (if age-appropriate), distemper/parvo combination vaccine, leptospirosis vaccine (if age-appropriate), bordetella vaccine, deworming, heartworm test (if age appropriate), heartworm preventative, flea preventative, a dental cleaning (if necessary), and a microchip. Future vaccines, tests, and treatments will be the responsibility of the adopter.

Meet Pearl 🤍 Pearl is a true-to-her-breed Boxer in every way—energetic, rambunctious, smart, and full of playful charm. She’s always ready for fun and thrives on activity, games, and engagement with her people. Like many Boxers, Pearl can have a stubborn streak when it comes to training, so patience and high-value treats will be key to helping her succeed.

Pearl is a lively, loving girl who will do best in an active home ready to embrace her big personality and zest for life. - Around 7-8 months old - Currently 50lbs and growing - Good with dogs *needs slow introductions* - Good with older kids as she doesn't know her size and energy level - Adoption fee: $250 This dog is currently housed at our shelter.

Story
Turnip is a sensitive, sweet boy who may start off a little worried, but truly shines once he feels safe and comfortable. He is very food motivated and loves gentle, one-on-one play and snuggle time with his people. Turnip can be cautious in new situations, so he’ll do best with a patient adopter who enjoys helping a dog build confidence at his own pace. With consistency and kindness, Turnip has all the potential to become a deeply loyal and loving companion.
