Penny's Story

Ask Penny to sit and she plants herself, tips her head to one side, and looks up at you to see what comes next.<br/><br/>She is a seven month old girl with a copper red coat, a white stripe running straight up the middle of her face, a white chest and white feet. Her ears are still too big for her and fold over at the tips. She weighs under 30 pounds and is still filling out, so she will end up bigger than she looks today. Penny came to us through Central Virginia Friends of Petersburg Animal Care and Control and is living in a foster home.<br/><br/>Penny is house trained and crate trained, and she already knows sit. She has spent time around children and done very well with them. She loves other dogs and would be happy with a friendly dog to learn from, but she can also go home as an only dog with someone patient and kind. At home with her foster she has gone from cautious to stretching out in the middle of the bed. Her adopter will also receive a full year of pet accessories from Pretties and Papers.<br/><br/>A few honest things before you apply. The world has been a scary place for Penny, and she is still learning that people can be kind, so she needs a patient home that lets her warm up on her own time rather than expecting her to be brave overnight. She has not been around cats that we know of, so we cannot tell you how she would do living with one.<br/><br/>Penny is living in a foster home, so visits with her are set up by appointment. Email us at adoptpetersburg@gmail.com to arrange one or to 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.
