My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Pinky – A Laid-Back Sweetheart Looking for Her Forever Home

Hi there! I’m Pinky, a roughly 4-year-old, 70 lb lab/ shepherd mix with a gentle spirit and a heart full of love to give. I’ve been patiently waiting for a quiet, caring home where I can feel safe and finally exhale.

The shelter is a scary place for me—so loud and chaotic that I often retreat to the back of my kennel just to cope. But once I’m outside and away from the stress, I truly come alive. I blossom in calm, familiar spaces, especially with the company of other friendly pups. I love soft affection, quiet strolls, and the feeling of safety and connection.

Because I can be a little nervous at times, I’ve shown I can be an escape artist—so I’ll need a secure fence or to be leash-walked for my safety.

If you’re looking for a tender, low-key companion who just needs a little time and love to shine, I could be the one. Come meet me, Pinky, at the shelter today—or email adoptpetersburg@gmail.com with “Pinky” in the subject line to learn more.

I’m ready for peace, for comfort, and for my forever. Maybe it’s with you?
