Monique's Story

Monique walks a few steps, stops, and looks straight up at whoever is holding the other end of the leash. Then she takes a few more steps and checks again.<br/><br/>She is a 9 year old black and white pit bull mix with a bright white face and one dark patch around her eye that makes her look like she is always paying close attention.<br/><br/>Monique had a family, and when they fell on hard times she was moved outside to live on a chain before she came to us. Walking on a leash is new to her, and she is learning it now for the first time in her life. She is still getting to know us, and she likes to take her time doing it. When she does decide about you, you get the big open mouth grin in her photos.<br/><br/>She would suit someone who gets a kick out of watching a dog figure out new things. A senior girl like Monique does not ask for much: a soft bed inside, her walks, and a person who keeps showing up.<br/><br/>A few honest things before you apply. Monique will do best with a patient adult home where she can set the pace. We do not yet know how she does with other dogs, cats, or children.<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. Email adoptpetersburg@gmail.com to set up a visit or 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.
