Story
Meet Diablo! This handsome hunk was found as a stray and never claimed. Upon his arrival he hated it here! Very skittish and standoffish but now his personality has really started to shine! He is a nervous boy in his kennel but once he is out, he wide open. He is one that may require more then one meet and greet as it does sometimes take him a bit to fully open and show his full personality. He has done well with dogs he has met here( he really loves the ladies) but meet and greets are required if other dogs are in the home. His favorite things in the world are butt scratchys , treats and more butt scratchys. He is very treat motivated, he knows sit and paw that we have found out so far. When he gets super excited, he just prances around, and hops and it is adorable! He is estimated to be around 2 years old. If interested in Diablo, the shelter is open Monday-Friday 10am-3pm staff pending or you can call the shelter at 804-520-9397 ext.5 to schedule an appointment!

Story
Introducing Jess, a young and playful girl with lots of love to give! Jess is a 1.5 year old girl who is affectionate and loves to play. She loves people, and seems to want to love all the dogs as well, although she would benefit from some socialization with other pups, as well as some extra help with her basic manners. Jess is young and has the energy to match; she's looking for an active home that can give the exercise, play and continued training she needs! Due to Jess's energetic nature, she would do best in a home without cats. Are you ready to take on this playful pup? She'd make a great addition to any home. If you're interested in our sweet Jess, please come by the shelter today or send an email to adoptpetersburg@gmail.com with "Jesse" in the subject line.

Story
Meet Juniper! This young sweet girl is full of energy and curiosity. Better yet, she's got the most perfect wrinkly mushy face that will make you fall in love! Juniper was found by a Good Samaritan on the streets, but unfortunately has not been claimed since. She is smart, friendly, and playful, and she already knows how to sit like the goodest girl! At approx. 2 years old, she is at the perfect age to learn more tricks and commands with you. Juniper would love a forever home where she can explore, learn, and make new friends. We haven't yet evaluated whether Juniper gets along with other dogs, but she is friendly with people and very sweet -- she's just itching to snuggle up with you on the couch! She is estimated to weigh around 50-60 pounds, and has been hoping to find a loving family of her own for a while now. Juniper is a great dog and is just waiting for the perfect family to take her home. Could that be you? If you're interested in sweet Juniper, come visit the shelter or send an email to adoptpetersburg@gmail.com and include "Juniper" in the subject line.

Story
Gypsie has had a Dad her whole life who loves her dearly -- in fact, he's had her with him since she was just 6 weeks old. According to her Dad, Gypsie's birthday is March 22nd and this sweet lady just turned 9 years old! But don't let Gypsie know that this *technically* makes her a senior citizen, this girlie is spritely enough to keep up with the youngest of pups! This little lady fully embodies the spirit of young at heart. Gypsie has the sweetest personality and you can tell that she's been loved dearly her whole life. Unfortunately, her previous dad fell on some extremely hard times and fell into the difficult circumstances of homelessness. Our shelter has been housing Gypsie for some time while he worked on finding housing and getting into a more stable situation. Despite the love that they hold for each other, Gypsie's old dad has made the difficult decision of opening the option for finding his beloved companion a new forever home due to his inability to find any housing options that will allow them to stay together. Gypsie is beautiful, well-mannered, mellow and yet playful. She is truly the perfect companion and this is due to a life full of love. Our girl has many more years of love and companionship to give -- and boundless energy to play and frolic around with you. Will you be her new happily forever after? Gypsie has all the love in the world to give, she's just looking for her forever family to provide her with a safe, cozy home where her perfect personality can absolutely shine through. If you're interested in sweet Gypsie, visit the shelter or send an email to adoptpetersburg@gmail.com and include "Gypsie" in the subject line.

Story
Meet Alfie, an adorable baby who is just bursting with love and affection! He may be young, but Alfie has already developed quite the personality. Alfie is a 7-8 month old bundle of joy who's ready to find his forever home! Approx. 50 pounds of pure love and energy, Alfie is waiting just for you! He's crate trained, nearly perfectly housebroken, and LOVES to play -- whether with human or dog friends, or even on his own! He's especially into other pups who share his play style as he is an active young boy. His favorite toys are his jolly balls and rope toys, which he has been fortunate enough to have in abundance in his current foster home. Alfie has not been cat tested, so we don't know how he would do with any feline friends. Alfie has a very funny personality that will keep you laughing, and he loves giving kisses to his favorite humans. He is very smart, but sometimes a bit mischievous -- like any young pup exploring the big wide world, so he will need a forever home that can teach him the ways of the world, and make sure that he has a good balance of regular exercise and positive basic training. Luckily for us, little Alfie is so eager to please and if given yummy snacks and a little patience can learn all of the tricks and good behavior you could possibly want! Because he's such a young bouncy pup, we think Alfie would probably do best in a home with older kids. Take a look at Alfie's foster family's TikTok channel to see some of his adorable adventures: https://www.tiktok.com/@freyas.foster.fri?_t=8nxhiKSVdql&_r=1 If you're looking for a forever adventure buddy and a life full of love, kisses, and play, Alfie is the pup for you! If you think Alfie is as perfect as we do and want to bring him home, send an email to us at adoptpetersburg@gmail.com and include "Alfie" in the subject line.

Story
Meet Faye and Boomer! If you are looking for two peas in a pod, then look no further! These two were an owner surrender at no fault of their own. Their previous owner loved them so much but due to unexpected circumstances they came here. Boomer was also adopted through our shelter back in 2021 when he was around 3 years old which makes him to be around 6 years old. He is a boxer mix who is already neutered. These guys have been together for 3ish years, and we would hate to have to seperate them. They both are super sweet Faye in more open than Boomer, but he does open up once he gets comfortable. Boomer will look for Faye once they do seperate and it just breaks our hearts. They both are really great dogs that hope they can find a home together. If interested in Faye and Boomer, the shelter is open Monday-Friday from 10am-3pm staff pending or you can call the shelter at 804-520-9397 ext. 5 and set up an appointment!
