Story
💎🐾 Meet Crystal — A True Hidden Gem 🐾💎 Some dogs sparkle right away. Others take a moment… and then absolutely shine. Crystal is the second kind — and she’s worth the wait. Crystal is a 2–3 year old, 55-lb, spayed boxer/pittie mix with a stunning brown coat, a bold black muzzle, and eyes that tell you she’s thinking deep thoughts. She’s a little reserved at first, but once she feels safe, her playful, affectionate personality comes through in the best way. When Crystal chooses you, it’s something special. This girl loves getting out of her kennel, heading out for long walks, and exploring at her own pace — nose down, tail up, taking it all in. She’s not here for chaos or crowds; Crystal is an introvert at heart who would thrive in a calmer home with someone who appreciates a quieter, deeper connection. ✨ Why We Love Crystal: 🐾 Sweet and playful once she warms up 🐾 Enjoys walks and outdoor adventures 🐾 Does well with many dogs (meet & greets required) 🐾 Secret superpower: loves bath time — stands still and soaks up the attention 🐾 Loyal, thoughtful, and deeply connected to her person Crystal can get a little jumpy when she’s excited (who among us doesn’t?), but with patience, consistency, and kindness, she truly blossoms. She’s not looking for just anyone — she’s looking for her person. Someone who understands that the most meaningful bonds take time to grow. 🏡 Crystal is available through Hopewell Animal Services. Come meet her, give her a moment to feel safe, and let her show you just how beautiful she really is. 💎🐾

Story
Meet Murphy – Your New Best Friend in Waiting Murphy is a lovable goofball with a heart as big as his paws! At just 1 year old, this Boxer/Lab/Pit mix is bursting with playful energy, affection, and personality. Weighing in at 73 lbs, he’s a big, happy pup who’s ready to bring joy to his forever family. Murphy is crate-trained, housebroken (with supervision), and does wonderfully with other dogs—though his bouncy play style might be a bit much for smaller pups. He’s super smart and eager to please, already knowing his basics like sit, stay, and down, and he walks nicely on leash. With continued training and consistency, Murphy is sure to shine even brighter. Because of his size and enthusiasm, he’d do best in a home with older kids who can keep up with his fun-loving energy. This sweet, silly boy is neutered, healthy, and ready to meet his people. Think Murphy might be the one? Email adoptpetersburg@gmail.com to learn more or set up a meet-and-greet!

Story
Sherbet is a 2 year old boxer and pit bull mix who arrived at the shelter after living his life on a chain. He came to us underweight with visible scars from fly strike, yet despite everything he has endured, he has a bright, hopeful spirit and a deep desire for connection. Sherbet is energetic and playful and loves any opportunity to stretch his legs and enjoy freedom. Once he gets his energy out, he leans in for affection and clearly wants to build a bond with the people around him. With consistent care and structure, he is already showing how much potential he has to grow into a loving companion. At this time, Sherbet is still learning to feel comfortable around other dogs, especially while on leash. We are working with him on confidence building and positive exposure so that he can better understand how to navigate these interactions. With patience, training, and the right environment, we believe he will continue to make progress. Sherbet is looking for a home that can give him the stability and kindness he has never known. He deserves a chance to thrive indoors with a family who will guide him, continue his training, and appreciate the loyal, affectionate dog he is becoming. If you are ready to help a deserving young dog start a new life, Sherbet would love to meet you. Email adoptpetersburg@gmail.com

Story
Ruthie is a 2-year-old, 60-lb Boxer mix with a gentle soul and a brilliant mind. Before coming into rescue, Ruthie lived on her own for at least 6 months, skillfully evading capture, multiple trapping attempts, and surviving in an industrial area of town. Fed by kind mechanics and workers, she learned how to stay safe, avoid danger, and always show up for food — and that intelligence still shines through today. After a dramatic capture, Ruthie has been in a foster home, where she’s proven to be a very polite houseguest. She is fully house-trained and, even at her scariest moments, has never shown a hint of aggression — no growling, no raised lips, just fear. Ruthie is shy and deeply cautious with people, but she is sweet, gentle, and incredibly observant. We would not be surprised if Ruthie spent some of her life in someone’s home.  This brainy girl reads the room like a pro. She knows when a human might approach and will quietly skedaddle to keep herself feeling safe. While she’s still very nervous about leashes and handling, she allows most people to gently scratch her muzzle, and she’s learning — slowly but surely — that human touch isn’t such a bad thing. Watching her progress has been incredibly rewarding, especially as she’s started to enjoy ear scratches and soft affection from her foster mom. Ruthie is a great pack dog. She does beautifully with dogs of all sizes and temperaments and enjoys playful wrestling with dogs her size, but doesn’t demand play.  She happily coexists with the resident Chihuahua in her foster home. Ruthie is calm and content indoors and also enjoys a daily visit to the dog park. She’s a quiet presence who’s perfectly happy lounging on a chair, listening to her foster mom’s Zoom calls, and soaking in the safety of home life. At home, Ruthie is her foster mom’s quiet shadow. She sleeps in her room, wiggles with excitement when she comes home, follows her around the dog park — and yet may still hop off her bed and slip away if that same foster mom walks toward her for a pet. With Ruthie, trust is built in tiny, meaningful moments, and every day brings progress. Because of her history, Ruthie is a high flight-risk dog, especially in the early days. She will need a very committed adopter with a securely fenced yard, experience with fearful or flight-risk dogs, and a willingness to use safety tools like GPS collars, double leashes, and secure handling. Strength matters too — this is a 60-lb girl who needs someone confident and prepared. Ruthie has been around children at the dog park and treats them like little adults — with polite, reserved hesitation. She is food-motivated, sweet, and incredibly smart. With patience, structure, and time, she has all the makings of a truly special companion. Ruthie is one of those dogs who, with the right adopter and a few committed months of trust-building, will become a dream dog. Watching her finally relax, feel safe, and just be a dog has been an absolute privilege — and we can’t wait to see her find the forever home she deserves. ccrnewengland@gmail.com PLEASE NOTE:   Our dogs and cats are fostered in Tennessee and can transport weekly up to the Northeast region.  Request an application and learn more about Critter Cavalry at https://www.crittercavalry.com/adoption.February 10, 2026, 9:58 pm

Story
Hi there, I'm Vega, a 7-year-old, 70-pound, brindle and white boxer. I'm looking for a forever home with someone who can keep up with me and love me unconditionally. I'm an extremely loving, smart and adventurous boy, who enjoys playing, running, and exploring. I'm also very smart and eager to please, especially if you have some treats for me. I'm neutered, vaccinated, and heartworm negative, so I'm ready to go whenever you are. I have a ton of drive which makes me super fun to work with and my foster mom says I’d be amazing at dog sports of any kind because of how much I like to work. My foster mom can explain more but I need a firm owner who will work me and take me on adventures because I am no couch potato. I am dog selective needing slow intros to other dogs. I should not be around cats or other small animals because of my high prey drive. I do well with kids but best with older kids because of my size and energy. I can be crate reactive and have some barrier frustration, but I’ve been learning to improve my behavior here and am doing so much better. I also need more work on leash training, as I pull hard. Devices like gentle leaders may help me learn how to walk better on leash. I have a lot of love to give. I'm very passionate and loyal to anyone I bond with. I bond quickly and can’t wait to make friends with you! I love being petted and cuddled. I'm a relatively quiet pup, and I calm well when my exercise needs are met. I'm being fostered in Hampton Roads, VA but I can be transported out of state if you're the one for me. So, what do you say? Are you ready to meet your new best friend? I'm waiting for you. Fill out an application today and we will get the process started! *Must be 21 or older to apply.

Story
💥🐾 Meet Bruiser — Big Head, Soft Heart, Total Gentleman 🐾💥 Bruiser is a super handsome 2–3 year old, 50-lb white pittie mix with the cutest brindle eye patch and a short, stocky build that makes him impossible not to smile at.

This sweet boy already knows sit, is clearly smart, and is very treat motivated — bonus points for being a patient, gentle treat taker. Bruiser enjoys affection and has that calm, kind presence that makes you want to hang out with him a little longer. 🐶 Bruiser’s Highlights: ✨ Knows sit ✨ Smart and eager to learn ✨ Treat motivated with great manners ✨ Sweet, gentle, and affectionate ✨ Interested in other dogs Bruiser showed polite interest in other dogs while passing by and did well during a brief interaction with a female dog who came in as a stray the same day — they might even know each other!

If you’re looking for a solid, lovable companion with a heart of gold and a face you’ll fall for instantly, Bruiser might just be your guy.

✨ Meet Macey — Big Ears, Bigger Heart ✨ Macey is a 2-year-old, 45-lb black and white beauty, fully spayed and rocking what might be the best ears in the building (seriously… they deserve their own fan club). A true volunteer favorite, this sweet girl somehow keeps getting overlooked — and we honestly can’t figure out why. Macey is playful, affectionate, and endlessly fun-loving. Toys are her jam: a big, hard ball she can chase around the yard? Yes, please. Squeaky toys? Absolutely. If it’s made for play, Macey is all in. She walks beautifully on leash, loves long strolls, and would make an amazing jogging or hiking buddy — she’s got the stamina and the enthusiasm to keep up and enjoy every minute of it. Outdoorsy humans, take note. 🏃‍♀️🌲 Macey has never met a stranger and truly loves everyone she meets. She would prefer to be your one and only dog at home, but don’t worry — she has more than enough love to fill that role and then some. Day after day, Macey has watched other dogs leave the shelter, still waiting patiently for her turn. All she needs is one person to notice her and give her the chance she deserves. Please come meet Macey at Hopewell Animal Services — and fall in love with her, just like we have. 🖤🤍🐶💛
