Fenton Adopt-A-Pet Houses More Rescued Dogs

After taking in several rescued dogs from one of the in the state last month, several more dogs are calling home for awhile.

Fenton Adopt-A-Pet President Ron Morey said that program called "Pup My Ride" from Best Friends Animal Society rescued many dogs from mill situations and Adopt-A-Pet welcomed 20 of them.

"These puppies weren't bad off, but they basically lived their whole lives in cages," Morey said. "They have no real social skills."

Jody Maddock, Fenton's Adopt-A-Pet program director said 80 small breed dogs have been through this program and 60 have found wonderful homes.

Morey said the shelter is in need of plush toys for the dogs to play with, bleach, paper towels, toilet paper and monetary donations for medical treatment.

He said many dogs need shots and dental work and had to be evaluated before they are up for adoption. He said some dogs could be ready as early as Friday.

"We are also looking for handymen/women to help us finish our new addition for the dogs," Maddock said. "There is still painting, tiling and grouting to be completed. We desperately need to finish it so we can start using the wonderful new space."

Adopt-A-Pet will have a work days this Friday and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
