Honcho's Story

Honcho is a 3-year-old, 74 lb bully mix with a big personality and an even bigger heart.<br/><br/>He has some visible scarring on his face and head, which suggests he may not have had the easiest start in life, but you’d never know it from his personality. Honcho is a happy boy who is ready to leave the past behind and enjoy being someone’s companion.<br/><br/>He already knows “sit” and walks well on leash, making him a great candidate for someone looking for a dog with a solid foundation. He’s food motivated and eager to engage, though he can get a little enthusiastic when taking treats. He responds well to a “gentle” reminder and is already showing that he wants to learn.<br/><br/>Honcho seems to be dog friendly, but we are still getting to know him and would recommend a meet and greet with any resident dogs.<br/><br/>He would do best with an adopter who can continue working with him on basic manners and help him build confidence. In return, he offers a loyal, affectionate personality and a truly resilient spirit.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a dog with character, heart, and a lot of love to give, Honcho might be your guy.

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.
