Diana's Story

Diana is a brindle and white girl of about one to two years old and roughly 40 pounds, with a wide white blaze down her face, a brindle patch over each ear like a pair of mismatched sunglasses, and a white tipped tail that never stops moving.<br/><br/>If you already have a dog at home, this is the part to read. Diana is absolutely incredible with other dogs. Not tolerant of them, not fine with them. Incredible. She is gentle in how she plays, she is submissive with dogs and people both, and she is never the one who starts anything.<br/><br/>On her own at the shelter she is a different dog. Quiet, reserved, a little unsure of herself. Put another dog beside her and she comes all the way out of her shell and stays out. She will fling a ball around the yard all afternoon and then flop into the grass for belly rubs once she has worn herself out.<br/><br/>So we want to be direct about what she needs. Diana needs a home with another dog in it, and that dog needs to be a confident one. This is not a nice extra for her. A self assured canine sibling is what brings out the dog we see in the yard, and without one she tends to shrink back. If you have a steady dog who would like a friend, you are the home we are describing.<br/><br/>She is off to a strong start otherwise. She knows sit, and she appears to be house trained. At around 40 pounds she is an easy size to live with, and she is past the chewing and stumbling stage.<br/><br/>She has not been tested with cats or with young children, so slow and supervised introductions are recommended there.<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.
