Moose's Story

This handsome guy was found as a stray in early March, and it didn’t take long for him to start winning hearts. Moose is the kind of dog who makes you smile without trying — curious, friendly, and genuinely happy just to be near people. He’s dog-friendly, lights up for attention, and sports the cutest floppy ears paired with a big, goofy grin. At around 40 lbs and 2–3 years old, he’s the perfect mid-size companion.<br/><br/>The scars around Moose’s neck tell a story of a past where freedom was limited, and love likely was too. Because of that, he could use a patient, understanding adopter who can help him build confidence and polish his basic obedience skills. The good news? Moose wants to learn. He’s eager to please, highly treat-motivated, and ready to form a deep bond with someone who shows him consistency and kindness.<br/><br/>Shelter life has been especially hard on Moose. Too much alone time has left him pacing in his kennel and even losing weight — a clear sign that he’s craving connection, stability, and a place where he can finally exhale.<br/><br/>Moose doesn’t need perfection. He needs a chance. A couch to rest on. A person to trust. A home where he can feel safe and loved for the first time.<br/><br/>If you’re ready to change a life — and have yours changed in return — Moose is waiting.<br/><br/>Email adoptpetersburg@gmail.com with “Moose” in the subject line to meet him.

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.
