Story
Lester is a huge sweetheart that loves to cuddle up to you on the couch. He also is very energetic, and will get the zoomies, so he likes to have a yard to run around in. He knows how to sit, stay, give you paw, and play fetch and tug of war. He is good with playing with kids and is not too rough. He is very friendly with just about everyone including the vet! There is no adoption fee for him. I unfortunately can't be home as much as needs me to, and can't pay for his allergy medication. I just want to find him a good and loving home.

Tulip is a 8 month Bully Breed mix ( vet paperwork says French Bulldog mix) girl weighing about 35 pounds. She came to rescue very scared and confused and has done amazing. She is very food motivated and loves to play with other dogs. She rides well in the car and has done great with potty training/crate training. She is timid in new situations but after a bit she does open up. She would do best in a home with a doggy friend.

Story
📍Looking to rehome our sweet pup, Frodo🐾📍 About Him: • 🐶 Breed: Staffordshire Bull Terrier • 🎂 Age: 3 years old • ⚖️ Size: 60 pounds • 💉 Up-to-date on vaccinations and is neutered • Frodo is crate-trained and is used to being crated during work hours during the week and every night. He will not pee or poop inside his crate, but he is used to being let out as soon as his humans are home/awake! History/Personality: We rescued Frodo from a local shelter at the beginning of June 2025 after he was found in Richmond. He’s a puppy at heart still, very active and energetic, but also can be a couch potato when he has gotten some of his energy out. Frodo loves to hang out with his humans (including our 2-year-old son). He enjoys going for walks, chewing on his toys, and riding around in the car as long gets a pup-cup. He does well with kids, and loves to play with other dogs. Frodo would thrive with someone who can give the time, structure, and love he deserves.

Coco

Bulldog

Female, 7 yrs
Petersburg, VA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Not good with cats,
Story
Coco spent years on a chain being invisible, and it shows. She came to us skinny, carrying old scars, fly bitten ears, and the kind of caution that comes from being let down by people. When a kind stranger picked her up, she was shaking with her tail tucked between her legs. It took her about two hours to become a different dog. Give Coco a treat, a yard, and a little kindness and she lights up. She loves to play, she can jump like a dog half her age, and she melts for treats, which makes training feel like a game to her. She is learning sit and down for the first time in her life and picking them up fast. She settles beautifully in a crate with her blankets and toys, and house training is a work in progress that improves with every day of routine. Coco is around 7 years old with the spirit of a puppy who never got a puppyhood. She can enjoy other dogs when introductions are slow and play styles match, so any resident dog should meet her first, and she needs a home without cats. Her ideal match is a patient adopter who can give her consistency while she learns how to be a house dog, because she wants nothing more than to be one. This sweet girl has done all her waiting. She is ready for the family that finally sees her. Come meet Coco at Petersburg Animal Care and Control. To adopt Coco, contact adoptpetersburg@gmail.com

Murphy (in foster)

Boxer Labrador Retriever

Male, 1 yr 8 mos
Petersburg, VA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Murphy is a lovable goofball with a heart as big as his paws. At just 1 year old, this Boxer Lab Pit mix is full of playful energy, affection, and personality. Weighing about 73 pounds, Murphy is a big happy pup who is ready to bring joy and laughter to his forever family. Murphy is crate trained, housebroken with supervision, and does very well with other dogs, although his enthusiastic and bouncy play style may be a bit much for smaller or more delicate companions. He is smart, eager to please, and already knows basic cues such as sit, stay, and down. He also walks nicely on leash and enjoys spending time with his people. With continued structure and consistency, Murphy will continue to thrive and show just how wonderful he can be. Because of his size and playful nature, Murphy would do best in a home with older children who can comfortably interact with a larger energetic dog. Murphy is neutered, healthy, and ready to meet his new family. If you think Murphy might be the perfect fit, email adoptpetersburg@gmail.com to learn more or set up a meet and greet.

Sherbet

Boxer Pit Bull Terrier

Male, 2 yrs 7 mos
Petersburg, VA
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Sherbet is a 2-year-old, 65 lb boxer/pit bull mix who arrived at the shelter after living much of his life on a chain. He came in underweight with visible scars from fly strike, but despite everything he has endured, Sherbet has held onto a bright, hopeful spirit and a deep desire to connect with people. He is energetic, playful, and absolutely loves the chance to stretch his legs and enjoy freedom. Once he’s had a chance to burn off some energy, Sherbet happily leans in for affection and clearly wants to build a bond with his people. With consistency and care, he’s already showing just how much potential he has. Sherbet is also making great progress with basic training. He’s been working on “sit” and is catching on quickly, even starting to offer it on his own once he understands what’s being asked. He can get a little bouncy when excited, but he remains gentle and receptive to guidance. He is comfortable with other dogs with proper introductions, and continued positive experiences will help him keep building confidence and social skills. Sherbet is looking for a home that can offer structure, patience, and kindness. He deserves the chance to live indoors, learn new things, and be part of a family who sees the incredible dog he is becoming. If you’re ready to help a deserving young dog start his next chapter, Sherbet would love to meet you. Email adoptpetersburg@gmail.com to learn more.
