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
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
Hello, I'm Noelle. I'm a sweet, friendly, and gentle soul. I'm mellow most of the time, but I can be brave when it's needed. I'm pretty smart, too. I love cuddles, and I'm fiercely loyal. My favorite place in the world is right by my human's side. I'm a great companion, and I promise to make your days brighter. I'm not just a pet, I'm a friend, a confidante, a source of joy. I'm here, waiting for my forever home. Will you be the one to give it to me? Adopt me, and I promise to be the best friend you've ever had. This pet is eligible for the PETS FOR PATRIOTS adoption program. Adoption Process If you are ready to meet the pet, please fill out an online adoption application by copying and pasting the following link into your internet browser: https://www.petstablished.com/adoption_form/10666/generic Once your application is submitted, we will contact the vet reference provided. If you do not yet have a vet, please provide three personal references – these could be family and friends who can attest to your pet parenting skills. A volunteer will schedule a phone interview with you. The interview and application help our fosters find their forever home by ensuring a good match.   The Louisa Humane Society does not have a brick and mortar facility, so all of our pets are in foster care. Once approved, the foster parent will reach out to arrange a visit. The foster family can tell you all about her likes, dislikes, and little quirks.  The application and visit do not oblige you to adopt, but if you’re ready to take the pet home as your furry forever friend, her adoption fee is being sponsored by a generous donor! ##2257339##
