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 — A Diamond in the Rough, Waiting for Her Person 🐾💎 Some dogs shine the brightest once they feel safe — and Crystal is one of those truly special souls. Crystal is a 2–3-year-old, 55-pound, spayed boxer/pittie mix with a gorgeous brown coat and a striking black muzzle that perfectly matches her soulful eyes. She’s the kind of dog who doesn’t rush into relationships — she takes a little time to warm up — but once you’re in, you’re in. And the bond she offers is something truly meaningful. At first, Crystal may be a bit unsure with new people. But give her patience, kindness, and a chance to settle, and you’ll see her blossom into a playful, affectionate companion who genuinely enjoys being with her person. She loves getting out of her kennel, heading off on long walks, and exploring the world at her own pace — nose down, heart open. 💛 What Makes Crystal Special: Affectionate and playful once she’s comfortable Enjoys long walks and outdoor adventures Does well with many dogs (meet & greets always required!) A surprisingly big fan of bath time — she stands perfectly still and soaks up the love An introvert at heart who would thrive in a calmer home without lots of visitors Crystal may get a little jumpy when she’s excited — she just can’t help herself — but with consistency and understanding, she’ll shine even brighter. She’s not looking for chaos or crowds… she’s looking for her person. Someone who sees past first impressions and understands that the best relationships take time. If you’re someone who values quiet connection, loyalty, and watching a dog truly come into her own, Crystal could be the one you’ve been waiting for. 🏡 Crystal is available through Hopewell Animal Services. Come meet her, give her a moment, and let her show you just how beautiful she really is. 💎🐾

Story
Hello my name is Kenely and I am a rescue with my current home. I was found by the spca on the side of the road with no information and very scarred 8 years ago. I have since been slowly socializing and learning to trust again. I’m now great with people and will become your best friend with a good scratch. I love to lean gently against my people to show affection and follow around to keep up with everything. Sadly my current home and mom are having a hard time keeping up with me because of a health decline with mom and because I don’t feel comfortable around the other residents (the cats) so after a lot of time and trying to make it work mom thinks it’s best I go to a home to be able to have my needs met and get the love and care I deserve. Some other things to know about me I need my nails clipped every 6 weeks. I get scared sometimes around men with hats or anyone with a long stick like object due to my past mom thinks. If mom doesn’t pick up the phone please just leave a message.

Story
Meet Amber – A Loyal Heart Looking for Her Person Amber is a beautiful mixed-breed girl who arrived at Petersburg Animal Care & Control at the end of January 2025. She is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and ready to find the home she’s been waiting for. Amber can be a little shy when you first meet her, but once she feels safe, her true personality shines. She is deeply affectionate, fiercely loyal, and very attentive to her person. Amber listens well, enjoys guidance, and forms strong bonds with the people she trusts. She is the kind of dog who wants to be near you, tuned in and eager to please. Amber would love a home where she can be the center of someone’s world. While she would prefer not to live with other dogs, she does not seek out conflict and is not reactive. She simply thrives best as a one-and-only companion where she can relax and fully settle in. If you are looking for a devoted, loving dog who will form a meaningful bond and be your constant companion, Amber may be the perfect match.

Story
Stampy is a bright, affectionate young dog who is full of personality and joy. At roughly 2 years old and around 45 pounds, he brings a fun mix of playful energy and sweet, cuddly loyalty that makes him a wonderful companion for an active, engaged home. He is incredibly smart and curious, always ready to learn something new or figure out a puzzle toy in record time. He loves romping in the yard, carrying toys around, and enjoying short bursts of play throughout the day. When he is done, he settles beautifully and is happiest curled up close to his people. Stampy truly believes he is a lap dog and takes every opportunity to prove it. Stampy has done well with many dogs and enjoys having social playmates who understand his enthusiastic, sometimes mouthy play style. He would be a great match for a tolerant, playful dog who enjoys a bit of bounce and goofiness. He has lived around cats, and while he sometimes invites them to play, he responds well to confident cats who set boundaries. Because he can get excited easily, Stampy will do best in a home with older children who can participate in his training and help reinforce calm interactions. He thrives with structure and clear routines and does beautifully when given consistent guidance. He is not an aggressive dog, and his occasional overexcitement softens quickly with calm handling and a little redirection. Stampy is crate trained, housebroken, and enjoys having a safe space to relax when the world feels busy. He has a large heart, a loving nature, and so much potential to grow into an incredible, devoted companion. With a family who appreciates his zest for life and is ready to guide him as he matures, Stampy will shine. If you think Stampy might be the fun, affectionate companion you’ve been looking for, please email adoptpetersburg@gmail.com with “Stampy” in the subject line to learn more or schedule a meet and greet.
