Ram's Story

Ram is a 6 month old puppy, about 35 pounds and still growing, with the black and tan coloring of a hound, long velvety ears, and a tan mask across his face that makes every expression look like a question he is waiting for you to answer.<br/><br/>He came to us as a stray. He was found wandering with another dog at his side, and nobody knows how long the two of them had been out there looking after each other. Whatever Ram went through before he arrived, it did not put a dent in him. He is one of the friendliest dogs in the building.<br/><br/>Ram greets people like he has been waiting all day for them. He leans into a scratch behind the ears, he is soft and easy to handle, and he already knows sit. At 6 months old he is right in the window where everything you teach him is going to stick, so a family who keeps up with basic training and a puppy class will get a lot out of this one.<br/><br/>He is very dog friendly and would be delighted to join a home with another dog to run around with. He is also good with kids, which makes him one of the more flexible young dogs on our adoption floor. He has not been tested with cats, so slow and supervised introductions are recommended.<br/><br/>If you are looking for a friendly, uncomplicated young dog who is ready to learn and ready to love somebody, come meet Ram at Petersburg Animal Care and Control.<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, 10am to 3pm, 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.
