Moose's Story

This handsome guy was found as a stray in early March, and he’s been winning hearts ever since. Moose is a curious, friendly boy who enjoys being around people, is dog-friendly, and lights up when he gets attention. He’s got the cutest floppy ears, a big goofy smile, and a heart that’s ready to love. He's 40 lbs and roughly 2-3 years old.<br/><br/>Scarring around his neck suggests he likely spent the previous chapter of his life on a chain. Because of that, Moose would benefit from a patient owner who can help him brush up on basic obedience and confidence-building. The good news? He’s eager to please and very treat-motivated, which makes him a great candidate for training and bonding.<br/><br/>Shelter life has been hard on Moose—he struggles with all the alone time, constantly pacing in his kennel and losing weight. He needs a home where he can finally relax and feel secure.<br/><br/>Moose is ready for a fresh start and a family who will show him what love and freedom truly feel like.<br/><br/>If you’re interested in meeting Moose, email adoptpetersburg@gmail.com with “Moose” in the subject line.<br/><br/>Help us find this sweet boy the forever home he’s always deserved.

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.
