Story
Meet your future best friend, Winnie 🐾✨ This puppy is a perfect bundle of energy, curiosity, and irresistible cuteness—but like all puppies, Winnie 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 Winnie grow into a confident, well-balanced adult dog. With the right foundation, the possibilities are endless! 💛🐶 -Around 5 months old -Currently 30lbs -Good with kids, cats and dogs -Adoption fee: $350 This dog is currently housed at our shelter.

Story
Meet Draco a bundle of puppy energy and potential, right at the perfect age where learning comes quickly and bonding runs deep. He still has all the playful enthusiasm of a puppy, but his growing maturity makes him an ideal candidate for learning new cues and tricks. Draco will need continued work on leash skills and basic manners, but with consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement, he’s sure to thrive. He’s ready for a home excited to guide him, keep his mind and body active, and watch him grow into an amazing adult dog. 🐶✨ - Around 7 months old - Currently just under 45lbs - Good with kids and dogs - Adoption fee: $250 This dog is currently housed at our shelter.

Story
We adopted Tilly from Adopt-a-Pet in Fenton in October. She is a 4 year old Moyen Poodle. She was in a rescue/foster before coming to A-aPet. She had recently been spayed and showed signs of giving birth to a litter recently. We also feel she was kept in confinement, possibily a breeding facility, as had to be taught many regular dog skills. She has a very sweet demeanor. She can be frightened by noise and quick moves, she was underweight and needed grooming. We adore her. So, why are we rehoming her? We are 81 and 83, had many dogs. We realize to continue her journey of learning, she would be better suited a home with someone who is younger and has more energy, has experienced with a skittish dog and time to devote to her, + a dog who is calm and she could mimic. She is so gentle and learns fast. She did not know how to walk on a leash, come and go thru doors to outside. Never peed in grass. Still doesn't bark or like our cat! She weighs 28 LBs. Loving, sleeps with us!

Story
Meet Elvin, a charming little oddball with a heart full of love 🐾💖. Elvin enjoys being close to his people, soaking up affection and companionship, but he prefers his personal space rather than being right on top of you. He’s happiest in a calm, quiet home and would do best without young children, where he can relax and feel secure 💕. Elvin can have good days and bad days, but with patience, kindness, and letting him go at his own pace, he truly thrives 💗. He does have a sensitive stomach, but with the right food, regular exercise, and a low-stress routine, he feels his very best 💞. If you’re looking for a gentle, loyal companion who will blossom in a peaceful home, Elvin may be the perfect match for your heart 💓🐾. - Around 6 years old - Currently under 40lbs - Good with cats and dogs - Good with kids, but prefers a calm/quiet environment - Adoption fee: $100 This dog is currently housed at our shelter.

Story
💜 Meet Violet! 💜 Violet is a sweet, soulful girl with the softest eyes and the biggest heart. This lovely lady is a bit on the curvy side right now (she’s been enjoying life!), and she has some mild stiffness in her back legs related to early joint changes. Violet still gets around well and enjoys her daily routines—she just benefits from a steady pace, comfy bedding, and support in maintaining a healthy weight. Most days, her comfort can be managed with low-impact exercise and routine care, but adopters should know that if her clinical signs worsen or cannot be comfortably managed, Violet may require an exploratory arthrotomy in the future. With attentive care and lots of love, Violet will thrive as a loyal, gentle companion. She’s happiest relaxing nearby, soaking up affection, and sharing quiet moments with her people. If you’re looking for a calm, loving best friend for cozy days and leisurely strolls, Violet may be the perfect match. 🐾💜 - Around 2 years old - Currently 28lbs and going down - Good with kids, cats and dogs - Adoption fee: $175 To inquire about this dog, please email dogs@adoptapetfenton.com.
