Sherbet's Story

Sherbet is a 2-year-old, 65 lb boxer/pit bull mix who arrived at the shelter after living much of his life on a chain. He came in underweight with visible scars from fly strike, but despite everything he has endured, Sherbet has held onto a bright, hopeful spirit and a deep desire to connect with people.<br/>He is energetic, playful, and absolutely loves the chance to stretch his legs and enjoy freedom. Once he’s had a chance to burn off some energy, Sherbet happily leans in for affection and clearly wants to build a bond with his people. With consistency and care, he’s already showing just how much potential he has.<br/>Sherbet is also making great progress with basic training. He’s been working on “sit” and is catching on quickly, even starting to offer it on his own once he understands what’s being asked. He can get a little bouncy when excited, but he remains gentle and receptive to guidance.<br/>He is comfortable with other dogs with proper introductions, and continued positive experiences will help him keep building confidence and social skills.<br/>Sherbet is looking for a home that can offer structure, patience, and kindness. He deserves the chance to live indoors, learn new things, and be part of a family who sees the incredible dog he is becoming.<br/>If you’re ready to help a deserving young dog start his next chapter, Sherbet would love to meet you.<br/>Email adoptpetersburg@gmail.com to learn more.

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.
