Aardvark's Story

Put a hand on Aardvark and she leans her whole side into your legs and stays there for as long as you keep scratching.<br/><br/>She is about a year old, black with tan legs and a tan face, dark markings around her eyes and ears that fold over at the tips. She is long legged and lean and still growing into all of it. Aardvark came to us as a stray, so we do not know anything about the life she had before, but she appears to be house trained.<br/><br/>Other dogs are the easy part of Aardvark. She loves them, and she would be happy in a home that already has a dog in it or with someone who takes her out where there are other dogs to see. She is sweet with people too, and she is the kind of dog who would rather be next to you than across the room.<br/><br/>A few honest things before you apply. When Aardvark first spots another dog she gets very excited and pulls hard on the leash to get to them, so she is looking for a home that will keep going with her leash training. Coming in as a stray means we have no history for her with children or with cats, so we cannot tell you how she would do living with either.<br/><br/>We prefer to schedule appointments for meet and greets to make sure someone is available to spend time with you. The shelter is open Monday through Friday, 12pm to 4pm, and appointments outside of those hours may be available based on volunteer availability. Email adoptpetersburg@gmail.com to set up a visit or learn more today.

Petersburg Animal Care & Control's Adoption Policy
Thank you for your interest in adopting from Petersburg Animal Care & Control! We’re so glad you’re considering giving a shelter pet a loving home. We do not charge an adoption fee; however, all animals must be spayed or neutered prior to adoption, and the cost of the procedure is covered by the adopter. We’re happy to support adopters by coordinating appointments with our low-cost veterinary partners for spay/neuter services and other basic care needs. Adoption Process • We prefer to schedule appointments for meet-and-greets to ensure that staff or volunteers are available to spend adequate time helping you get to know the animal. • When you arrive, please sign in and wait to be escorted by a staff member or volunteer before entering the kennel areas. • For safety reasons, please do not reach into kennels or attempt to touch animals through barriers. If you’re interested in a particular pet, our team will bring them to a meet-and-greet area for proper introductions. • After your visit, you’re welcome to submit an adoption application. Applications must be approved before we can schedule a meet-and-greet with your family pets. • Meet-and-greets with personal pets are by appointment only, and for safety, two staff members must be present to handle all animals involved. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to make each match the best fit possible — both for our animals and their future families.
