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.

Meet handsome Niklause! This handsome guy is ready for his new home! He is great with other dogs. He is still a little unsure of himself in new surroundings, so he needs someone who understands that fast isn't always best and will let him get comfortable on his terms. Niklause is quick to give kisses and is really just a nice boy. He would like a family with experienced dog owners who are used to and understand the needs of the husky/shepard breeds.

Story
Meet Gem the 4yr Shepherd/Husky! Gem has had a terrible past involving horrific abuse. She came into our care completely unresponsive, starved almost to death at 25lbs and unable to walk, stand or even lift her head. She had a lengthy stay at the emergency vet and required blood transfusions, tube feeding and months of rehabilitation following. Despite her terrible past, she is still a very happy, playful and sweet girl. She can't wait to find her happily ever after! Gem adores meeting new doggy friends and does great with pups of all shapes and sizes. She has had limited interactions with cats, however with proper introductions we think she would do well. At times, she can struggle with meeting new people, but with some treats she becomes everyone’s friend. Due to her past, she is working through a lot of trauma and learning how to be a dog again. She is looking for an experienced and patient family who is willing to continue building her confidence and working on gaining her manners back. Gem has made huge strides in her rehabilitation from abuse. She is now house trained and hasn’t had an accident in several months. We do suggest that she is taken out frequently to keep her on the right track. She can struggle with separation anxiety at times and tends to bark when she can’t be a part of what’s going on. Due to this, we do not feel like she would be a great candidate for apartment living. Lastly, she still has a weakness for food. She must be watched closely if her dog treats are easily accessible (or human food is left unattended). With this being said, she is crate trained and does best when crated during these instances or when unattended. On the flip side, being so treat motivated has been helping in her rehabilitation! Despite all of the things she is working on relearning, Gem has a heart of gold! She is such a loyal, resilient and energetic gal. She would love to join an energetic family who can show her the love and understanding she deserves. Gem is up to date on vaccines, spayed and microchipped. She is house trained, crate trained, knows her basic commands and listens very well. Does Gem sound like a good fit for your family? Reach out for an adoption application!

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.**
