Story
Meet Tom – Your New Best Friend Wrapped in Wiggles and Charm Tom is a squatty, wiggly, absolutely lovable 58-lb bully mix who was found as a stray in mid-May. At around 2 years old, he’s that magical age where puppy playfulness meets grown-up companionship — fun, affectionate, and ready to bond. Tom came in with his brother, who has already been adopted. Now Tom is patiently waiting for his turn. Through everything, he’s stayed joyful, confident, and endlessly loving. He greets everyone like a long-lost friend, offering full-body wiggles, big smiles, and a happiness that’s impossible to ignore. Despite his short, stocky build, Tom is all bounce and personality. He adores people and thrives on connection. He’ll lean into you for pets, follow you just to be near, and soak up attention like it’s his favorite thing in the world — because it is. Whether he’s playing, exploring, or curling up close by, Tom just wants to be part of your life. Tom is dog friendly and enjoys the company of other dogs, but he’d be just as happy being your one and only, soaking up every ounce of love and devotion for himself. What matters most to Tom isn’t how many dogs are in the home — it’s that he belongs. Resilient, joyful, and full of heart, Tom is ready to leave his stray days behind and give his whole self to a family who sees how special he is. If you’re looking for a dog who will make you laugh, love you deeply, and greet every day like it’s the best one yet — Tom is waiting. Email adoptpetersburg@gmail.com to meet Tom and fall in love.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
This is Coco, he is 3 years old and very sweet. He loves to snuggle. He is crate trained and is food motivated which would be great for training but we don’t have the time, experience or resources to do it ourselves. He has been good around our small children (does not react to them messing with him all) and our small dogs. That being said he can get hyper and recently discovered he is able to jump over our 4 foot fence (HOA limit) and when we saw that we knew he needed a new forever home. His perfect forever home would be with someone who is able to give him the structure and attention he needs and can walk him on a leash or have a 6 foot fence.

Hammy

American Staffordshire Terrier Bull Terrier

Male, 3 yrs 9 mos
Richmond, VA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
If you wear pajamas more than real clothes, and think “socializing” means sharing snacks with your dog, Hammy chooses YOU. Rural life suits Hammy just fine. He thrives in environments where he doesn’t have to worry about strangers coming and going. The hustle and bustle of busy neighborhoods isn’t his style — Hammy feels safest when he knows his space and the people in it. Hammy is confident, stubborn, affectionate, and blissfully low-maintenance. He’s happiest lounging on the couch, getting belly rubs, and sucking on his blankie. He’s comfortable in a household that has its daily rhythm — just not one filled with new faces. Strangers make him uneasy, but with his people, he’s all heart and devotion. Your reward? A loyal couch companion who studies your face with gratitude, doubles as a weighted blanket, and loves you like no one else ever will. 💙 Adopters have 30 days of free access to 1-on-1 text and email support from trainers at Petcademy to help make every pet's transition into their new home as smooth as possible. All dogs available for adoption have been spayed/neutered, microchipped and are current on all vaccinations. Please email dogs@henricohumane.org for more information.

Story
Hi, This is Kaiser . He is a 2 year old Pitbull terrier. He is rambunctious and full of energy , a very clingy boy. Kai has separation anxiety. He’s s the type that wants to be up under you 24/7 giving you cuddles and love. He needs to be with a person who will take their time with him due to his anxiety of being away from you. We have two cats and he does wonderful with them. He also loves play dates with other doggies. Behavior around young children is unknown. Kai is a talker so be prepared to hear him talk back. He's a strong boy and will pull you. Kai is not fond of his crate and associates it as a bad place. We are working on this but he will need some help. He scares easily , certain noises like thunder scares him to death. He does have bit of food/toy aggression that we have been working on, but he will need extra help. Me and my husband both work full time with a baby on the way, it’s tough and he deserves more. Kai needs someone who can give him more time and love.

Story
Meet Murphy – Your New Best Friend in Waiting Murphy is a lovable goofball with a heart as big as his paws! At just 1 year old, this Boxer/Lab/Pit mix is bursting with playful energy, affection, and personality. Weighing in at 73 lbs, he’s a big, happy pup who’s ready to bring joy to his forever family. Murphy is crate-trained, housebroken (with supervision), and does wonderfully with other dogs—though his bouncy play style might be a bit much for smaller pups. He’s super smart and eager to please, already knowing his basics like sit, stay, and down, and he walks nicely on leash. With continued training and consistency, Murphy is sure to shine even brighter. Because of his size and enthusiasm, he’d do best in a home with older kids who can keep up with his fun-loving energy. This sweet, silly boy is neutered, healthy, and ready to meet his people. Think Murphy might be the one? Email adoptpetersburg@gmail.com to learn more or set up a meet-and-greet!
