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
Meet Clara – A Sweet, Squatty Bully Girl Ready for Her Forever Home Clara is a 3-year-old, 53 lb gray-and-white bully mix with an adorable, compact build and a heart that belongs fully to her people. She first came to us as a stray on 9/22 after roaming the area for several weeks. Though never reclaimed, it was clear she had been cared for before — she arrived in good condition and had previously had a litter. Clara recently spent time in a home, where she showed just how special she is. She is housebroken, crate trained, walks nicely on leash, rides calmly in the car, and knows how to settle into a routine. She’s especially affectionate with the people she trusts, leaning in for snuggles, nudging for more pets, and happily curling up close. Once she bonds, she bonds deeply. The shelter environment can be overwhelming for Clara, and she does best in calm, predictable settings. She’s a sensitive girl who appreciates a slower pace and thoughtful introductions, particularly with new people. Given time and space, she opens up beautifully and shows her gentle, loving personality. Clara would thrive in a quiet home — ideally adult-only or with older, respectful children — with adopters who understand that some dogs just need a little time to feel secure. She does best with routine, consistency, and positive reinforcement, and she’s incredibly responsive when she feels safe. Clara is: • Housebroken and crate trained • Affectionate, loyal, and people-oriented • Calm in the car and polite on leash • Eager to bond and be someone’s constant companion She is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations, and she’s ready for a fresh start with a family who will give her the patience and stability she deserves. She’s not asking for perfection — just patience, kindness, and a home where she can finally exhale and belong. If you’re looking for a loving, devoted bully who will return your care tenfold, Clara is ready to meet you. Email adoptpetersburg@gmail.com to learn more or schedule a meet-and-greet.

Story
💖🐾 STOP SCROLLING — COCO LOPEZ IS STILL WAITING! 🐾💖 How is this girl still in the shelter?! Meet Coco Lopez, a 2–3-year-old, 50-pound tan-and-white bulldog mix with a one-of-a-kind look and a personality that fills the room. Coco is fun, friendly, affectionate, and spunky — the kind of dog who makes you laugh without even trying. Those adorable ears? The slightly fluffy tail? That classic wrinkly bulldog face with a perfectly pouty lip? People pay good money for that look… Coco’s giving it away for free. 😍 🐶 Why Coco Lopez Is Impossible Not to Love: Walks great on leash and enjoys getting out and about Does wonderfully walking alongside other dogs Had an absolute BLAST in free play with a male pup — zooming, hopping over and under him, and clearly living her best life Takes social cues well and adjusts when another dog says, “okay, that’s enough” Would thrive with a dog friend who can match her energetic, playful style (Meet & greets always required to ensure a good fit!) Coco is confident, joyful, and full of personality — the kind of dog who turns an ordinary day into a good one. She’s playful without being overwhelming, affectionate without being clingy, and just bursting with love for the right home. 🐱 A quick note: Coco is a little too interested in cats, so a feline-free home would be best. 💔 We’re truly amazed she’s still waiting. Coco Lopez deserves more than kennel life — she deserves a couch, a family, a playmate, and someone who looks at her and says, “How did we get so lucky?” If you’re looking for a hilarious, loving, adventure-ready companion with endless charm and heart… Coco Lopez is ready to meet you. Come give this unforgettable girl the forever home she’s been waiting for. 🐾💛
