Wybie is smart and eager to learn. He is fully house trained & knows the basic commands sit, shake, stay. He is still working on door manners & greeting without getting too excited. He loves walks, playing fetch, scent work (hiding treats for him to find), loves all and any attention and the occasional cuddle.He does not do well in crates- he was trained until 6 months and now has panic in them. I leave him baby gated in the dinning room and he does well- and he gets to protect his house. He is not neutered- his vets recommended waiting until he turns 2 or older.Unfortunately, the cat siblings he grew up with- he is no longer gets along with and he continues to hurt them.-NO CatsHe loves people and kids- However he gets too excited and may accidentally hurt them by jumping. -NO YOUNG KIDS - I recommend 10 or older.

Story
Rex is a resilient, affectionate boy with a heart as big as his incredible spirit 💛🐾 Currently in a loving foster home, Rex is a 3+ year-old neutered German Shepherd, weighing about 74–75 pounds. Born with congenital megaesophagus, he’s learned that a little extra care simply means a little extra love—and he handles his routine like an absolute champion. Rex requires lifelong management, including eating several small, high-quality meals each day (he’s thriving on The Farmer’s Dog) while positioned upright on a step stool, along with medication twice daily—morning and late afternoon—and regular veterinary care. While megaesophagus can present challenges, Rex refuses to let it define him. He greets every day with joy, a wagging tail, and an eagerness to be close to his people. And what a companion he is. Rex is house trained, highly intelligent, and wonderfully well-behaved—so trustworthy he doesn’t even need to be crated when left alone. He doesn’t destroy things, rides beautifully in the car, and has a playful, goofy sense of humor that will keep you smiling. He absolutely thrives on attention and companionship. Aside from his special feeding needs (and skipping swimming), Rex can do just about anything a typical dog can—and more. He would excel in activities like agility, rally, or scent work. He already loves playing Hide-and-Seek with both people and his toys, and he’s incredibly good at it! His vocabulary is growing quickly, and his eagerness to learn makes him an amazing partner. Rex is looking for a dedicated, compassionate adopter who has the time and heart to continue his care and give him the loving, supportive home he deserves. In return, he’ll give you unwavering devotion, endless affection, and a bond that is truly one of a kind. Rex needs your help to find his forever home—and he’s ready to fill it with love. 🐾💛 - Around 3-3.5 years old - Currently just under 75lbs - Good with kids - Prefers to be the only animal in the home and soak up all the love - Adoption fee: $175 To inquire about this dog, please email dogs@adoptapetfenton.com. Include information about your family and pets, what you are looking for in a canine companion, how you plan to exercise and train this dog, and why this specific dog seems like a good fit for your family. Those who provide the previous information will be considered first for this canine. Please do NOT call our center. This will help us match you and the animal the best we can. We usually respond via email within 24-48 hours; please check your spam folder if you don't hear from us. 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.

Story
Dublin is 4 years old and 60lbs. He is a super sweet boy and he loves to be with you always and cuddle. He loves to play fetch and tug of war with his toys. He is not a big barker and is crate trained. He would do well in a hope with older kids (5 to 12 years old) and a stay at home parent so there is someone home with him most of the time but I am sure he can adjust. I believe he is good with other dogs and cats but I am not 100% sure. He has never bit or growled at anyone, he is a lover not a fighter.Dublin comes with all of his shots up to date, clean bill of health, he has a nice color and leash set, he has food we can give you, a bed, a cage, toys, everything you need for him comes with him! You don't need to buy anything. :)We have had a very unfortunate situation in our lives and we have to find a new home for Dublin before Friday.

Story
DOB feb 12th 2025, up to date on all vaccines/flea/tick/hw, crate & house trained, does well with older kids, protective/ guarded around other animals, needs 30min- 1 hour warm up time, we graduated the akc star puppy program together, doesn't chew/ tear up anything only his toys, good for car rides, loves playing fetch, will also snuggle/ watch TV for hours on rainy days, needs his rubber ducky rain coat if going outside in rain doesn't like getting hit by the water, loves walkies. Insanely smart & loyal, 1 day to learn a new trick, we learned take a bow last week! Very loyal & loving, truly a sweet sweet babyboy. He is pure breed, but not akc. He's not a fan of strangers & needs warm up time or someone experienced with German sheppys that isn't scared & knows he's just a big baby. He goes to ugly dog for boarding & grooming they love him there. Not required to get neutered in 30 days, don't know why it says that. Please text two four eight- 842-0564 if interested!
