Carmella's Story

Carmella knows what it feels like to belong to someone. You can see it in her flower collar, in her soft and hopeful eyes, in the gentle way she leans into a kind hand. Somewhere along the way she lost the home she once had, and she was found as a stray in Petersburg on November 7th. Since then, she has been waiting for someone to choose her again. She makes it easy to fall for her. Carmella is a golden brindle and white girl, a little chunky in the most adorable way, with a mellow and affectionate nature that wins people over the moment they meet her. She is housebroken, easy to be around, and happiest simply being near her person. Give her a blanket to rest on and a hand to lean into, and she is content. Carmella is spayed, up to date on vaccinations, and ready to go home today. She has done beautifully with children, and she would love to be your one and only, the single dog who gets all of your heart and gives you all of hers in return. She has been patient. She has been sweet. She has been everything we could ask of her while she waits for a family of her own. Could she be your new reason to smile?

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.
