Story
Meet Scout 🐾💙 Scout is a handsome, incredibly smart boy who’s been searching for his forever home for just shy of two years—and through it all, he hasn’t given up hope… and neither have we. This treat-motivated superstar loves learning new things and truly shines when he has a job to do. Whether it’s long walks, agility courses, sniff work, or car rides, Scout is always ready for his next adventure. And after a day of fun? He’s more than happy to curl up on a cozy bed for a well-earned nap. Scout is a very sweet dog who enjoys playing with other dogs outside of the home. However, when it comes to his castle, he prefers to have it all to himself and would do best as the only pet. He’s also looking for a home without children under 16, so he can feel safe, comfortable, and set up for success. Scout will need multiple meet-and-greets to ensure a smooth transition into his new home. He is currently on anxiety medication, which he will need to continue, and he truly thrives with patient, understanding adopters who are willing to support his needs and cheer him on. In return, Scout will give you unwavering loyalty, companionship, and a lifetime of love. He’s waited so long for someone to see just how special he is—could that someone be you? - Almost 6 years old - Currently just under 75lbs - Good with dogs outside the home since he prefers his things to stay HIS - Can do doggy playdates outside the home - No cats in the home - Prefers kids 16+ - Adoption fee: $175 *sponsored* This dog is currently housed at our shelter.

Story
Meet Tofu 🐾🤍 This handsome Collie mix is the perfect blend of sweet, smart, and full of life! At around 8–9 months old, Tofu is still very much a puppy at heart — just in a teenager-sized body with lots of energy to spare. He’s incredibly intelligent and already shows all the classic Collie traits: eager to learn, observant, active, and always thinking. Because of his busy brain, Tofu will thrive in a home that can give him plenty of mental enrichment and “jobs” to do. Puzzle toys, training sessions, agility, hiking, sniff work, or learning new tricks are all great ways to help keep him happy and fulfilled. Without enough stimulation, this smart boy may decide to make his own fun! Tofu is looking for an active home that will continue guiding him through his puppy/teenage phase while helping him become the amazing companion he’s meant to be. With structure, consistency, and lots of love, this clever boy is going to make an incredibly loyal and fun best friend 💛 - Around 8 months old - Currently under 45lbs - Good with cats and dogs - Adoption fee: $175 To inquire about this dog, please email dogs@adoptapetfenton.com.

Story
Meet ✨Barney✨ — an adorable young hound pup with floppy ears, a playful spirit, and a nose that’s always hard at work! At around 4–4.5 months old, Barney is full of puppy curiosity and classic hound personality. He loves exploring the world around him, sniffing every interesting scent he can find, and turning everyday moments into little adventures. Barney is a fun-loving, goofy boy who is still learning all about life and what it means to be the best companion possible. Like most puppies, he will need continued work with basic manners, training, and socialization as he grows. Hounds are known for being smart, curious, and sometimes a little independent, so Barney is looking for a family that will be patient, consistent, and ready to help guide him through all the puppy stages. This sweet boy would thrive in a home that can provide him with plenty of enrichment, playtime, and opportunities to use his hound nose. Walks, sniffing games, toys, treats, and quality time with his people are sure to make Barney one happy pup. He has a wonderful mix of playful energy and loving sweetness that will make him such a rewarding companion as he matures. With love, structure, and continued guidance, Barney is going to grow into an amazing best friend. Now all he needs is a forever home ready to embrace all the fun, goofy charm that comes with raising a young hound puppy. ✨ -Around 4.5 months old -Currently under 25lbs -Good with kids, cats and dogs -Adoption fee: $300 This dog is currently housed at our shelter.
