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
🐾 **Meet Crystal! 🌟** **Age:** 2-3 years **Weight:** 55 pounds **Color:** Beautiful brown with a striking black muzzle Crystal has been waiting for her forever home for a whole year at the shelter, and it's time for this sweet girl to find the love she deserves! This gentle soul truly shines once she trusts you. She enjoys her time running on the treadmill, especially when she's go-digging for fun! Crystal recently discovered the joy of bath time, standing perfectly still and soaking up all the love and attention. While she can be a bit alert around strangers and needs some work on her leash walking (she gets a little jumpy when returning to the shelter), we're confident that with patience and love, she'll flourish. If you're looking for a loyal companion who will reward your kindness with unconditional love, Crystal is waiting to meet you! Let’s help her find her forever home. 🏡❤️ **Interested in adopting Crystal?** Contact us today to learn more about her and set up a meet-and-greet!

Story
Are you looking for a pup who’s equal parts spunky and snuggly? Meet Bertie—an adorable little lady who approaches life with boundless enthusiasm and just the right amount of goofball energy. 🐾💕 Bertie is very toy-motivated (her motto might as well be “will work for squeakers”) and will do just about anything for a little praise. But when the zoomies are over, nothing beats curling up for snuggles with her humans. To her, it’s the “bestest” thing in the whole wide world. 🥰 She’s got pep, charm, and enough love to fill your home and your heart. Bertie also adores chasing squirrels and birds (as one does), and playing with other pups—so if you’ve got a doggy buddy for her, even better! Bertie would absolutely love a fenced backyard where she can safely chase her imaginary squirrels and soak up the sunshine. ☀️🐿️ If you’re looking for a sweet, silly, adventure-loving cuddle bug with a heart of gold, Bertie is your girl. Adopt her today—because the only thing she’s missing is you. 💛 Adopters have 30 days of free access to 1-on-1 text and email support from trainers at Petcademy to help make every pet's transition into their new home as smooth as possible. All dogs available for adoption have been spayed/neutered, microchipped and are current on all vaccinations. Please email dogs@henricohumane.org for more information.

Story
Meet Short Stack – The Adorable Low-Rider with a Big Heart Short Stack is a squatty, lovable bully mix, about 2 years old, with a personality that’s larger than life. Don’t let his short stature fool you — this compact guy is bursting with energy, charm, and affection that’s guaranteed to make you smile. Playful and curious, Short Stack is full of love and a little bit of mischief (the fun kind). He’s treat-motivated, already knows “sit,” and is a great candidate for learning more with someone willing to keep working on basic manners and enrichment. Short Stack would thrive in an active home where he can get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. He’s happy to get out for walks or zoom around the yard, then settle in for snuggles once he’s had a chance to burn off some energy. While he can be around other animals, Short Stack would really prefer to be your one and only at home so he doesn’t have to share his favorite people. He’s looking for a family who will enjoy his goofy antics, give him structure, and let him be the center of attention. If you’re looking for a sweet, funny, and loyal companion, Short Stack is ready to steal your heart. He’s been overlooked for far too long and is more than ready for his chance. To learn more or apply to adopt Short Stack, please email adoptpetersburg@gmail.com with “Short Stack” in the subject line.
