Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.My name is Zoey. I just don't understand why my last family abandoned me. Gosh, I'm just a big, dopey ball of love. I even will sit on command, sort of. I just kind of forget that sit doesn't mean to sit then roll onto my back for belly rubs. I smile constantly with my big ole tongue hanging out. I can play just as long as you want me too. I get along with everyone. I would love to be a part of your family.Visit this organization's web site to see any additional information available about this pet.April 10, 2024, 8:10 am

Story
Mojo was found on the side of the highway. We thought for sure someone would be coming for him, but here he sits waiting. He walks well on a leash after getting his initial energy out and has the cutest bouncy ears. Mojo appears to be dog tolerant, which is awesome! If you're interested in meeting Mojo, please contact the shelter or email adoptpetersburg@gmail.com with "Mojo" in the subject line.

Story
Winnie is a beautiful, smiley girl and is looking for her forever home!! She is unbelievably sweet and just wants all the cuddles, love, and attention whenever anyone is around. She even met a family with children and did very well with the kids in her limited introduction. And it’s no surprise to us since all this perfect sized nugget wants is affection. She’s just made for all the petting and being doted on with her fuzzy coat and happy go lucky tail. If you ever need a pick me up, she’s sure to make your day. Miss Winnie just LOVES people and really is just begging for all the cuddles. She has lovely leash manners too! Winnie has done fairly well when introduced to other dogs in the shelter, but will probably need slow introductions to be sure. Our poor little love bug is quite anxious and stressed in the shelter and really needs to find her forever home where her loving, affectionate personality can shine!! If you're interested in meeting Winnie, please contact the shelter or email adoptpetersburg@gmail.com with "Winnie" in the subject line.

Story
Meet Cherry! Just as sweet as her name, Cherry is an adult girly who is very calm and easy going. She has done so well so far in all of the introductions she has had with other pups in the shelter! She is very playful with other dogs when given the opportunity, and can be a little rowdy so she'd need to have dog friends that can handle her rambunctious play style. Cherry has excellent leash manners and has so far done well with introductions to other dogs on walks. We estimate her to be around 2 years old. If you're interested in meeting Cherry, visit the shelter or email adoptpetersburg@gmail.com with "Cherry" in the subject line.

Story
Candy is such a sweet girl! She's a little lazy couch potato looking for her comfy home. She came in with her friend, Pumpkin, found as strays. They're a bit of a bonded pair, so we're keeping our fingers crossed that they can find the perfect home together. They're as sweet as can be, walk well on leash, are good with other dogs and ADORE people. They eat at the same time, and when Candy decides she needs a little change of scenery for a second, cause she been looking at Pumpkin for too long, she picks up her bowl with the food still in it and moves herself over a few feet. They are little hams and will keep you laughing and bathed in doggy kisses! Both are young adults around 2 to 3 years of age and weigh in around 45 lbs. If you're interested in meeting Candy, visit the shelter or email adoptpetersburg@gmail.com with "Candy" in the subject line.

Meet Pumpkin! She came in with her friend, Candy, and is super sweet. They are a bit of a bonded pair, so we're trying our hardest to find them the perfect home together. Pumpkin adds the spunk and playful energy to this cute little duo - whereas Candy is the more mellow couch potato of the two. They're as sweet as can be, walk well on leash, are good with other dogs and ADORE people. They eat at the same time, and when Candy decides she needs a little change of scenery for a second, cause she been looking at Pumpkin for too long, she picks up her bowl with the food still in it and moves herself over a few feet. They are little hams and will keep you laughing and bathed in doggy kisses! Both are young adults around 2 to 3 years of age and weigh in around 45 lbs.
