She’s a very smart dog. Loves attention. Loves her belly getting scratched. She’s crate trained. We trained her with a shock collar but shock her twice the entire time we’ve had her. She was raised with cats and birds. She doesn’t like small dogs. But we have not reintroduced her to small dogs. She’s full of energy for age.

Story
Meet Jester! This handsome hunk came in as a stray and was never claimed and is looking for a new home! We are estimating him to be a year old. We are looking for a breed specific rescue or very breed experienced adopter as he does have his ways. He is extremely sweet and will most definitely protect his people. He was evaluated by two trainers who saw a lot of potential in him. He loves his squeaky toys and loves to run around. He would do best in a home with much older kids. He has done well with submissive dogs, and he prefers the ladies but if you do have another dog meet and greets are required. If you are interested in Jester we are open Monday-Friday from 10am-3pm or you can call the shelter to schedule an appointment at 804-520-9397 ext.5

Story
Meet Foxie – From Survivor to Playful Running Buddy Foxie is a beautiful brindle girl with striking coloring reminiscent of a Dutch Shepherd. When she first arrived, her body showed clear signs that she had very recently had puppies. We don’t know what happened to them—whether they were taken or lost—but it’s evident she’s endured something heartbreaking. Since then, Foxie has made incredible progress and is now at a healthy weight. She is up to date on vaccinations, smart, eager to please, playful, exuberant, and full of life. She makes a wonderful running partner and loves to check in with her person during walks or runs, clearly enjoying that connection. Foxie does have a slightly off gait, which her veterinarian believes is the result of a previous incident. Importantly, the vet has confirmed that she is not currently in pain. It doesn’t slow her down or affect her zest for life—just another detail that makes Foxie uniquely herself. She has done great with the other dogs she’s met and comes across as social, adaptable, and highly engaged with her people. Foxie would thrive in an active home that can keep up with her energy, enjoy training and enrichment, and continue giving her the love and stability she deserves. If you’re looking for a loyal, athletic, and intelligent companion to join you on runs, adventures, and everyday life, Foxie might just be the perfect fit. 📩 To learn more or schedule a visit, please email adoptpetersburg@gmail.com.
