Story
Heidi is a 2 year old NOT SPAYED female German Shepherd. She cannot be in a home with other dogs as she is showing aggression towards the other dog in the home. She is 80lbs and I just cannot manage her, I cannot afford behavioral help and I do not want to euthanize her. Please have some grace, I am trying to find her a good home bevause I recognize I cannot create a safe, comfortable home for her. She is okay with cats-- gives some chase but can be redirected. She is NOT good with female dogs. I do not know how she is with male dogs. She is up to date on rabies. She is good with adults, I do not know how she is with children. I would recommend her go to a family where she is the only dog. She is very loving, very sweet, very goofy. She is house trained and walks on a leash okay. **Has an allergy to chicken. Food for transitioning will be supplied.**

Story
Meet Rex 🐶💙—a resilient, affectionate boy with a heart as big as his incredible spirit! Rex was born with congenital megaesophagus, which means he needs to be fed upright in a Bailey chair so his food can safely reach his stomach. He does great with this routine and thrives on a high-quality, nutrient-dense diet, currently The Farmer’s Dog, which has been working wonderfully for him. Rex will need lifelong management, including special feeding routines, possible medications, and regular veterinary checkups to help him feel his best. While this condition may shorten his lifespan, Rex doesn’t let that dim his joy—he’s a loving, social dog who adores spending time with people, soaking up attention, and greeting each day with enthusiasm. Rex is looking for a dedicated adopter who can continue his care and give him the warm, supportive home he truly deserves 🏡❤️ ✨ Bailey chair will be sent home when adopted ✨ - Around 3 years old - Currently just under 75lbs - Good with kids, prefers a slow introduction to dogs and cats. - Adoption fee: $350 To inquire about this dog, please email dogs@adoptapetfenton.com.

Story
Max was rescued at 1-1/2 (now 7years old). His owners were elderly and lived in a motor home. They could no longer take care of him. He was adopted by my daughter and 12 year old grandson. They also have a shiatsu and a Lhasa apso mix. Max fit right into the family. My daughter lost her home and she and her now 19-year-old son moved in with me (her mother). This was a temporary solution. The three dogs were included in this move. My daughter now has new housing which allows only 2 dogs and no large dogs. My grandson has moved in with friends and cannot bring Max. I promised to keep him until we found a good home for him. Max is a good dog and responds to some directions. He appears to be a very smart dog and is friendly once he becomes comfortable with strangers. This usually takes 10 minutes if you don't expect too much of him. He has never bitten any one while in our care. He is very protective and lets people know it with a growl. He needs someone who is active.

Story
My name is Duke, and I am a 5‑year‑old German Shepherd with a big heart, a sharp mind, and a very waggy tail. At my age, I am a calm, mature dog who still loves to play and explore, but I’m past the wild puppy stage and ready to focus on being someone’s loyal best friend. I am intelligent, confident, and steady, and that’s exactly how I behave, even when things around me are noisy or new. I listen carefully when humans talk, tilting my head, because I understand more than most people think and I want to do the right thing for them. I’m protective but gentle, the kind of dog who will bark to let you know someone is at the door, then relax when you tell me it’s okay. Because my breed is so trainable and eager to learn, I pick up new commands quickly and enjoy using my brain as much as my paws. I would love a family who understands that German Shepherds need both exercise and mental challenges, like learning tricks, sniffing games, or simple jobs around the house.

Story
Hello! My name is Boone! Are you looking for a sports dog? I am your guy! I am a highly driven, smart dog looking for jobs to do to prove myself. My energy can be quite a lot, as I am a young dog who has previously lacked structure and commitment. I would prefer a home without other animals and children under 12 due to my sensitive nature. I have TONS of love to give and I would have even more dedication to offer to you as your partner in crime. Could we start the next chapter of our lives together? Come meet me soon!

Story
Hi my name is Condor, I am a sweet and playful boy looking for my forever family! I can be nervous when meeting new people, but with some time and patience I show my playful and silly side! I am very clever and continue to grow with positive reinforcement training methods; I would love to show you how smart I am. I can sometimes get overwhelmed by small children and would do best in a home without them. I will also need a home without birds or small mammals and likely without cats due to my prey drive. I would love a home who has experience with dogs like me and are comfortable with training to reduce bad manners and reactivity. With a proper foundation and love, I will be a fantastic dog! Please come meet me if I could be the handsome pooch for you.
