Story
I adopted Bella from someone I knew, they didn’t have enough time for the pet and I just wanted to re-home her for however long that was needed to work on behavior and basic commands. The first day off to my house she had no care in the world and loved the car ride there, when I dropped her off at the house she explored all over searching every crevice and loved sprinting around and playing.Her favorite toys are the wishbones, she gnaws on those things for days, she always loved tug of war and will even let you win sometimes.She’s met a couple other dogs, she feels very curious at first but if you’re patient with her, she loves to chase and run with others. She loves new people, she might get a little jumpy but 5 minutes later she’s your best friend.I’m hoping she can find a home with people that have the time to give her all the attention she ever wanted, all the loving and care as well!

Story
Ginger is looking for a clean slate in life This sweet girl was found by a local shelter wandering the streets alone. Unfortunately she was shutting down in the shelter and not doing well. We brought her into rescue and gave her a chance in a foster home. Her history is unknown, but we do believe she was not treated well. While she looks very much like a German Shepard she is def a mix as she has a smaller petite stature and is only 60lbs.  Ginger is very smart girl who appreciates lots of attention. She us the epitome of a velcro dog to the woman of the house. She knows commands and listens well to "come", "sit", "down" and no. She absolutely loves tennis balls and bones to chew on. Once you've earned her love and trust she will let you get her ball and throw it for her in the yard. Overall she prefers to be indoors and doesn't seem to be very familiar with being outdoors.  She does behave fearful around men ad requires slow introduction with men sitting down. While she could warm up to a man in the home its clear she trusts women most of all and is seeking a woman as a primary caregiver. Ginger is very much the jealous and is not interested in sharing her human with other dogs. For this reason we ask that Ginger be the only pet. She does have a prey drive and will chase small animals that run from her.  Ginger loves her current foster mom with her whole heart and we know she will make the best companion to the right home. She will offer cuddles in bed all night, and comfort you as much as you do her. She is no sense of personal space and will climb right up on your lap. She is the sweetest soul that escaped a rough past. Could you be her second chance?  ##2757513##

Story
DOB 7-25-25Wybie 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 hurting them by playing to rough. -NO CatsIf he had another dog- he may leave them alone. But I can’t get another dog for him. He loves people and kids- However he gets too excited and may accidentally hurt them by jumping. -NO YOUNG KIDS - I recommend 8 or older. Recommended:-Fenced YardWill come with all his food, heart-worm meds, &supplies!

Story
Meet Rex! 🐾❤️ Rex is a 3½-year-old neutered German Shepherd currently enjoying life in a loving foster home. This handsome 72–74 lb boy was born with congenital megaesophagus, a lifelong condition that requires special care at mealtimes and twice-daily medication. Don’t let his medical needs fool you—Rex is an incredibly sweet, intelligent, well-behaved boy with an amazing sense of humor! He is house trained, doesn’t need to be crated when left alone, rides beautifully in the car, and loves playing games like Hide & Seek with his people and toys. He thrives on attention and companionship and has so much love to give. Rex’s condition is manageable with the right routine, including several small meals each day served in an elevated position. He cannot safely swim, so his ideal home will have no ponds, lakes, or other bodies of water. He would also do best as the only pet in the home, without small children, and with a securely fenced yard. Rex is looking for a dedicated adopter who understands his special needs and can provide the consistency, companionship, and care he deserves. In return, he’ll give you unwavering loyalty, endless laughs, and a truly special bond. ❤️ Could you be the person Rex has been waiting for? 🐶 • Around 3.5 years old • Currently 74 lbs • Good with kids • Adoption fee: $175 This dog is in foster. Please email dogs@adoptapetfenton.com to schedule an appointment. 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. We offer same-day adoptions, do not place holds, and work on a first-come, first-served basis to ensure the best fit for both the dog and adopter. Adoption fees include spay/neuter, age-appropriate vaccines, deworming, preventatives, heartworm testing (if age-appropriate), microchip, and dental cleaning if needed. Future veterinary care will be the adopter’s responsibility.
