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
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 Forrest – A Gentle Soul Searching for Safety Forrest is a beautiful 1-year-old pit mix who was found on November 22nd and is now hoping for a chance to feel safe again. He weighs around 45 pounds — a perfect medium size — with the softest velvet ears and an expression that could melt anyone’s heart. Right now, Forrest is terrified in the shelter environment. The noise, the unfamiliar smells, the constant activity — it’s all overwhelming for a sensitive young dog who clearly hasn’t had much stability in his life. But even through his fear, his sweetness shines. He takes treats gently, watches people with cautious hope, and shows every sign of wanting connection once he’s in a calmer, quieter space. Forrest isn’t a dog who’s going to rush into your arms on day one, but he is a dog who will bond deeply with someone patient, gentle, and willing to let him blossom at his own pace. In a safe home, with routine and reassurance, this timid boy will absolutely come out of his shell. If you’re the kind of adopter who understands that fearful dogs aren’t “broken” — they’re just waiting for someone to show them the world isn’t so scary — Forrest may be the perfect companion for you. To learn more about Forrest or to apply to adopt, please email adoptpetersburg@gmail.com. Forrest deserves to know what love feels like, and he’s ready for his fresh start.

Story
Meet Chip – A Gentle, Merle Bully Mix Learning to Feel Safe Again Chip is an 8–9 month old merle American Bully mix who has already endured more than any young dog should. He arrived underweight, unsure, and visibly confused about the world around him. It’s clear he hasn’t always been treated kindly, and those early experiences have left him a bit hand-shy and hesitant. But beneath that uncertainty is one of the sweetest, softest souls you’ll ever meet. When he begins to trust you — even just a little — he leans in with quiet affection. He watches his people closely, wanting to be brave, wanting to connect. He just needs patience and kind guidance to continue learning that human hands can mean safety. Chip is still figuring out the basics of home life. If he has a potty accident, he’ll move away quickly as though he’s expecting punishment — a heartbreaking glimpse into his past. What he needs now is reassurance, gentleness, and a home willing to teach with love instead of fear. Despite everything he’s faced, Chip remains incredibly tender-hearted. With time, consistency, and kindness, he’s going to bloom into the devoted, loving companion he was always meant to be. If you’re looking for a resilient, affectionate young dog who just needs someone to believe in him, Chip may be the perfect match. To learn more or schedule a meet and greet, you must email: adoptpetersburg@gmail.com. Please do not call the shelter to schedule — meetings are arranged only by email.
