Charlie's Story

Charlie has claimed a spot at the shelter, and it is the top of an office desk. He stretches out on the paperwork between the binders and the paper towels and watches everyone who walks by, like he is the one in charge of the files.<br/><br/>He is a ten year old Yorkshire Terrier with a gold face, a long scruffy beard, and two ears that never quite agree on which way to point. His coat is still growing back along his back and sides after a rough case of flea dermatitis, which has been treated, so the dog you meet will only get fluffier from here.<br/><br/>Charlie is a small dog who likes to be up where his people are. He is relaxed enough with the staff to spend his days in the office with them, parked on a desk and keeping an eye on the room. He would suit a quiet adult home where someone is happy to give him a spot on the couch and let him run the place.<br/><br/>A few honest things before you apply. Charlie takes a little time with new people, so he does best with someone patient who lets him make the first move. He is not a fan of big dogs, and a home without one suits him better. He also needs to stay on a leash whenever he is outside, since he is a small dog who can find his way out of a fence.<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.

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.
