Story
Meet Short Stack – The Adorable Low-Rider with a Big Heart Short Stack is a squatty, lovable bully mix, about 2 years old, with a personality that’s larger than life. Don’t let his short stature fool you — this compact guy is bursting with energy, charm, and affection that’s guaranteed to make you smile. Playful and curious, Short Stack is full of love and a little bit of mischief (the fun kind). He’s treat-motivated, already knows “sit,” and is a great candidate for learning more with someone willing to keep working on basic manners and enrichment. Short Stack would thrive in an active home where he can get plenty of exercise, playtime, and attention. He’s happy to get out for walks or zoom around the yard, then settle in for snuggles once he’s had a chance to burn off some energy. While he can be around other animals, Short Stack would really prefer to be your one and only at home so he doesn’t have to share his favorite people. He’s looking for a family who will enjoy his goofy antics, give him structure, and let him be the center of attention. If you’re looking for a sweet, funny, and loyal companion, Short Stack is ready to steal your heart. He’s been overlooked for far too long and is more than ready for his chance. To learn more or apply to adopt Short Stack, please email adoptpetersburg@gmail.com with “Short Stack” in the subject line.

Story
Lula is a tiny, tender-hearted micro bully who has not been shown the luxuries she deserves. At around 5 years old, she carries the signs of a life spent mostly outdoors, yet she is still incredibly gentle, affectionate, and full of quiet hope. At just 30 pounds, Lula is a petite companion with soft eyes and a calm, thoughtful presence. The shelter environment is overwhelming for her, but the moment she steps into a quieter space, she transforms. She relaxes, leans in for affection, and looks up with a warm, trusting gaze that tells you she’s ready to bond with someone who will finally treat her with care. Lula would thrive in a peaceful home where she can decompress, build confidence, and learn what it feels like to be cherished. She is the kind of dog who forms deep connections once she feels safe, and she is long overdue for a soft place to land. If you would like to meet Lula or learn more about giving her the home she has always deserved, please contact us at adoptpetersburg@gmail.com.

Story
I'm pleased to greet you with Ellie! Ellie joined our family after we found her outside of an apartment, cold and shivering. Throughout her growing up, she has always been around two or more dogs and loved to play a "mama" role for the youngest of the pack. As she has reached her adult years she has developed back/hip arthritis which we medicate as needed with vet approved medication. Which might be a factor into why she started lashing out towards other dogs in these most recent years. Thank you for your time.

Story
Hi! I'm Cappuccino! I was found on the city streets in Northside of Richmond, Virginia. I was taken in by a kind soul who has gotten me healthy and given me confidence over the last few months. My forever home preferably has a yard because I'm fun and energetic! I'm loyal and know basic commands but I need someone with the ability to get me properly trained in other areas. I love attention, belly rubs and food! Always know I'll do anything for a good treat! I'm desperately looking to get out of the city and into a home of a dog lover that has the time and space to take care of me properly! I was neutered and received all the required shots. I also got my DNA tested. Turns out I'm 50% German Shepherd, 25% American Bulldog and 25% American Bully! I come with toys, harness, and all paperwork from vaccinations. I'm a very good boy and I'm excited to find my forever home!
