Pinky's Story

Meet Pinky – A Laid-Back Sweetheart Looking for Her Forever Home<br/><br/>Hi there! I’m Pinky, a roughly 4-year-old, 70 lb lab/shepherd mix with a gentle spirit and a heart full of love to give. I’ve been patiently waiting for a quiet, caring home where I can feel safe and finally exhale.<br/><br/>The shelter is a scary place for me—so loud and chaotic that I often retreat to the back of my kennel just to cope. But once I’m outside and away from the stress, I truly come alive. I blossom in calm, familiar spaces, especially with the company of other friendly pups. I love soft affection, quiet strolls, and the feeling of safety and connection.<br/><br/>Because I can be a little nervous at times, I’ve shown I can be an escape artist—so I’ll need a secure fence or to be leash-walked for my safety.<br/><br/>If you’re looking for a tender, low-key companion who just needs a little time and love to shine, I could be the one. Come meet me, Pinky, at the shelter today—or email adoptpetersburg@gmail.com with “Pinky” in the subject line to learn more.<br/><br/>I’m ready for peace, for comfort, and for my forever. Maybe it’s with you?

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.
