Story
Meet Sir Bambi! 🐾 Sir Bambi is a 6-month-old Chesapeake Bay Retriever/Poodle mix who came to the shelter with his three siblings after being surrendered. Like many young dogs going through big changes, Sir Bambi can be a little shy at first and needs some time to warm up to new people—but once he does, he’s a wonderful companion in the making. This smart, growing pup will thrive with a savvy, active dog owner who understands puppy development and is ready to provide positive training, patience, and plenty of mental and physical enrichment. With the right guidance, Sir Bambi has all the potential to grow into a confident, loyal adult dog. Sir Bambi’s unique coat will require regular brushing and routine professional grooming to keep it healthy, comfortable, and mat-free, so his future family should be prepared for ongoing coat care. If you’re looking for a young dog to invest time, training, and love into—and want a rewarding bond in return—Sir Bambi could be the perfect addition to your home. 🐶💙

Story
Meet Pumpernickle! 🐶 Pumpernickle is a sweet pup who came to the shelter alongside his three siblings when they were surrendered together. While this change was a big adjustment for him, he’s been quietly taking it all in and learning that new beginnings can be good ones too. Pumpernickle can be a little reserved at first and takes some time to warm up to new people, but once he feels safe, his true personality starts to shine. He’ll do best with a savvy, active dog owner who understands that building trust takes patience and consistency. Someone who enjoys training, enrichment, and helping a dog grow in confidence would be an ideal match. With the right guidance, structure, and love, Pumpernickle has the potential to blossom into a loyal and rewarding companion. If you’re looking for a dog who may not rush into your arms but will form a deep, meaningful bond over time, Pumpernickle could be the perfect fit for you. 💙

Story
Meet Lacey – A Sweet Soul Ready to Heal Lacey is a gentle, affectionate girl who’s been through more than her fair share—but she’s still holding onto hope. Thought to be a Lab-hound (or possibly Lab-beagle) mix, this petite sweetheart weighs around 38–40 pounds. While her current condition makes it hard to know her exact breed mix, one thing is clear: she’s full of love. Lacey is currently being treated for demodex mange and a yeast infection, and her vet-prescribed medications will go with her to continue care. She doesn’t require immediate bathing, just a calm, safe place where she can rest and heal. Despite her physical state, Lacey’s sweet spirit shines through. She’s gentle, quiet, and easy to be around—grateful for every bit of kindness she’s shown. What Lacey needs most now is a soft place to land, a home or rescue where she can finally feel safe and begin her journey back to health. She deserves a second chance—and someone to show her how good life can be. If you can help Lacey start her new chapter, please email adoptpetersburg@gmail.com. She’s waiting.

Story
Meet Pinky – A Laid-Back Sweetheart Looking for Her Forever Home Hi there! I’m Pinky, a roughly 4-year-old, 79 lb lab shepherd mix with a gentle spirit and a heart full of love to give. I’ve been patiently waiting for a quiet, caring home where I can feel safe and finally exhale. The shelter is a scary place for me — so loud and chaotic that I often retreat to the back of my kennel just to cope. But once I’m outside and away from the stress, I truly come alive. I blossom in calm, familiar spaces, especially with the company of other friendly pups. I love soft affection, quiet strolls, and the feeling of safety and connection. Because I can be a little nervous at times, I’ve shown I can be an escape artist, so I’ll need a secure fence or to be leash-walked for my safety. Pinky is spayed and up to date on vaccinations, and she’s ready for a fresh start with someone who will give her the time and patience she needs to shine. She's even already crate and house trained. If you’re looking for a tender, low-key companion who just needs a little time and love to flourish, I could be the one. Come meet me, Pinky, at the shelter today — or email adoptpetersburg@gmail.com with “Pinky” in the subject line to learn more. I’m ready for peace, for comfort, and for my forever. Maybe it’s with you?
