Dixie's Story

Dixie heads out on a walk like she already has a route planned, and it always includes the long way around. New path, new smells, new people to meet along the way, she is in for all of it.<br/><br/>Dixie is a 7 month old Walker hound and Jack Russell mix, about 15 pounds. She came to us as an owner surrender along with her sister Trixie, who is also looking for a home. The two are adoptable separately, so Dixie can go home on her own.<br/><br/>She is playful and adventurous, the kind of young dog who turns an ordinary afternoon into an outing. A good long sniffy walk is her favorite thing, and she will do well with someone who likes getting outside and does not mind stopping every few feet so she can check the news. Dixie is dog friendly, so a home with another easygoing dog could suit her nicely.<br/><br/>A few honest things before you apply. We cannot tell you how she would do living with kids or cats. She is a young hound mix with puppy energy, so daily walks and play time are part of the deal.<br/><br/>Dixie is living in a foster home, so visits with her are set up by appointment. Email us at adoptpetersburg@gmail.com to arrange one or to 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.
