Story
Spot is affectionately nicknamed “Dairy” by his foster mom because of his resemblance to a little Dairy cow! He has a sweet, happy and snuggly personality. Loves people and other dogs his size that enjoy a rough and tumble play style. No Cats or other small animals. Knows sit and is pretty much HOUSEBROKEN! Approx a year old, 60lbs, neutered, vaccinated and microchipped—-he’s ready to go! Spot has lots of energy, loves to chew on bones and stuffies and play the occasional game of fetch. Has a lot of “puppy” still in him and would benefit greatly from some basic manners training. Spot had a family and used to go on walks around the neighborhood with his human child friend. One day he had a run-in with a kitty cat and wound up in the shelter. If you’re interested in meeting Spot aka “Dairy” email adoptpetersburg@gmail.com with “Spot” in the subject line.

Story
Meet Bruno and Justice, these 2 were abandoned outside of our facility back in March and were never claimed. Bruno and Justice are both 4 years old and absolutely love each other. We know it is not easy to adopt out 2 dogs together, so it is best that we adopt them out separately so they do not have to wait here any longer than necessary. Bruno is the solid black Pitbull mix, he was very nervous when we first caught him but he has started to come out of his shell the more we work with him. Bruno will be protective of your home so please keep that inconsideration if thinking about adopting him. Bruno would need a meet and greet with any dogs in the home, he can not be in a home with cats, and do to his nervousness, we suggest no home with kids under the age of 16. Once Bruno gets to know you, he shows so much affection, he loves to be with his person, loves belly rubs and all the love .Justice will also need to be in a home with no cats, she also requires a meet and greet with any dogs in the home. Justice loves to play with her toys, she could play ball majority of the day. She and Bruno both love going on walks. Justice is also a love bug when it comes to sitting down and just have you love on her.

Story
I got this dog because one of my moms friend could not keep him. His name is Dante. A really friendly and funny dog with people. He did not socialize with other dogs when he was a puppy, so he is not very friendly with other animals. He loves to play with the water. He also likes to play with balls. He loves to follow the RC cars. He is a good friend. He needs someone who is really active. He loves doing activities like running, going on a walk, playing with balls.

Story
Hello, I'm Boxley! When we first meet, I might be bashful, but give me a little time and you'll see my true colors shine through! Once I warm up, I'm all about affection, tail wags, and gentle nuzzles. One of my biggest loves in life? Treats! I'm absolutely food-motivated, and I see treats as the way to my heart. They're not just delicious; they're a great tool for helping me learn new things and gain confidence. For now, I'm looking to be the only dog in my new home. I'm still learning the ropes of socialization and feel more at ease when I don't have to share my space with other canine companions. With a bit of patience and love, I'm sure I'll continue to grow and flourish. I would thrive in a home with kids ages 10 and up, who can understand my need for a gentle approach and give me the time to adjust at my own pace. A family that can offer me a calm and stable environment would be pawfect for helping me come out of my shell. If you're looking for a loyal friend who just needs a little extra love to truly blossom, I'm your pup! Email christy.hemsworth@rva.gov to meet me today!

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.'Hello, My name is Missy and I'm about 1 and 1/2 years old. I'm a beautiful girl with a shinny black coat and electric blue eyes. I love to play with other dogs. I have 4 best buds here at EGHS that I get to go out for playtime with. We play and play and play. I like my toys too. I am house trained and my last dad was just beginning to work with me on other manners. I loved him very much. Everyone thinks I may do better as a one person dog because I bonded so with my dad. I have so much love to give to the right person. I long to be back in a home again with a comfy bed. A brother or sister to play with would be a bonus! Will you give me a chance to be yours?'
