Mystery's Story

Point a camera at Mystery and he smiles straight into it, every single time. Crouch down and he is already there, and if you stop scratching he leans in harder.<br/><br/>Mystery is a two year old male with a boxer style face, a rusty red coat with a white chest, and the most expressive eyebrows in the building. He is about 50 pounds. He recently spent a few weeks living in a home and is back with us neutered, vaccinated, and house trained.<br/><br/>What he wants is to be as close to his people as possible, with a toy nearby and a hand resting on his back. He sits for attention and carries a toy around until a person shows up. Sit down next to him and he puts his whole weight into your side and stays there. He lived with teenagers in his last home, and he would be a happy, easygoing companion for a family that wants a dog right in the middle of things.<br/><br/>A few honest things before you apply. Mystery does best in a home where someone is around for most of the day rather than away for long shifts. He is still learning to like his crate, so he needs someone patient who lets him walk in on his own. We have not been able to test him with other dogs or cats, so we would take any introductions slowly.<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.
