Story
Meet Starling – A Gentle Spirit Searching for Home, with Her Best Friend by Her Side With her soulful brown eyes and tender heart, Starling is the shyer half of a deeply bonded husky pair. She came into our care on 4/16 alongside Silver, and while life at the shelter has been overwhelming, the one constant has been their love for one another. These two likely spent their lives as outdoor yard dogs, and the transition to indoor life and human affection is still new—but Starling is learning, slowly and sweetly, that love is safe. She finds courage in Silver’s calm leadership, taking cues from her “big sister” as she explores new people and environments. In return, Starling offers a deep, loyal affection to those who earn her trust. In their small shelter kennel, you’ll find them curled together like puzzle pieces—grooming one another, cuddling for comfort, and waiting patiently for a home that won’t separate them. Starling is looking for: • A patient, understanding adopter who can give her time and space to bloom • A calm, secure home where she and Silver can continue to gain confidence together • A forever family committed to keeping this inseparable pair together Starling may be shy, but her heart is wide open. With Silver by her side and a loving home to welcome them, these two will make the most rewarding companions. Email adoptpetersburg@gmail.com to learn more or schedule a meet-and-greet.

Story
Meet Silver – The Wise, Gentle Leader in a Bonded Husky Duo Silver and Starling are two stunning huskies who came into our care on 4/16, and they’re looking for a loving forever home together. Likely a mother-daughter pair (though not confirmed), their bond is undeniable. In their cramped shelter kennel, they cuddle close and groom each other for comfort—two souls deeply connected, leaning on one another as they wait for a second chance. These beautiful girls spent much of their lives as outdoor yard dogs, so the transition to indoor life and human affection is still new. But each day brings growth as they learn to trust and open their hearts. Meet Silver: With her striking blue eyes and calm confidence, Silver is the older and more self-assured of the two. She’s curious, affectionate, and helps gently guide Starling through unfamiliar situations. Her quiet strength and loyal nature make her the perfect companion. What They’re Looking For: • A calm, supportive home where they can continue learning that love is safe and consistent • A secure yard where they can enjoy the outdoors together • A family committed to keeping them together and giving them the stability they’ve never known Silver and Starling are a beautiful reminder of resilience, love, and the power of connection. If you have room in your heart and home for two gentle souls who rely on each other—and will come to rely on you—please consider this pair. Email adoptpetersburg@gmail.com to learn more or set up a meet-and-greet.
