Tom's Story

Tom is a squatty, wiggly, absolutely lovable 50-lb bully mix with a heart as big as his smile. Found as a stray in mid-May, Tom is about 2 years old — that perfect age where playful energy and easy companionship come together beautifully.<br/><br/>Tom originally arrived with his brother, who has already found a home. Tom is still patiently waiting, and he hasn’t let shelter life dull his spirit one bit. He greets everyone with full-body wiggles, soft eyes, and a joy that is impossible to resist. He is the kind of dog who instantly makes your day better just by being himself.<br/><br/>This sweet boy absolutely adores people. He is incredibly affectionate, loves to snuggle, and simply wants to be close to his humans. One of Tom’s favorite things in the world? Car rides. He happily hops in and enjoys the adventure, making him an easy companion for outings and errands.<br/><br/>Tom is dog friendly and has a wonderfully gentle, social nature. He would thrive with a canine companion or be perfectly content soaking up all the love as your one and only.<br/><br/>Even better, Tom is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, and heartworm negative — ready to step right into his next chapter.<br/><br/>Tom is pure sweetness, resilience, and charm. He is ready to trade his stray days for couch cuddles, car rides, and a family to call his own.<br/><br/>Email adoptpetersburg@gmail.com to meet Tom — this boy is truly something special.

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.
