Homer's Story

Homer is a 3-year-old male pit bull, weighing about 55 lbs, who came into the shelter on April 16. He was found in a garage with blankets, food, and water, suggesting that someone had been caring for him there. Despite the uncertainty of his past, Homer has remained a sweet and resilient boy.<br/>The shelter environment makes him anxious, but once he’s away from the noise and stress, his true personality shines. Homer is playful, affectionate, and walks beautifully on leash. He loves attention, and his gentle nature makes him a great candidate for a family home—he’d do especially well with kids.<br/>Homer is ready to leave the stress of shelter life behind and start his new chapter with a family who will give him the stability and love he deserves.<br/>To learn more or meet Homer, please email adoptpetersburg@gmail.com with “Homer” in the subject line.

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.
