Tootsie's Story

Tootsie is a 2 year old pit bull mix in a rich chocolate coat with white toes that look like she tiptoed through paint. She is petite for her breed at around 45 pounds, the perfect size for couch cuddles without taking the whole couch. One look at her happy face and swiveling satellite ears and you will be smiling right back at her.<br/><br/>Tootsie is a friendly, devoted girl who bonds deeply with her people. Once she knows you, you have a friend for life. Loyal is the word everyone lands on with this girl. She wants to be where her people are, and she gives back every ounce of love she receives. Because she gives her heart so completely to her own family, Tootsie would prefer a quieter home without frequent visitors coming and going. She would rather spend her evenings curled up with her favorite people than work a crowded room.<br/><br/>She is house trained, so she arrives with the hardest lesson already learned and is ready to settle right into home life.<br/><br/>Early signs suggest Tootsie is dog friendly, and we are still getting to know how she does with other dogs as she settles in. If you have a resident dog, we will set up a careful meet and greet to make sure everyone hits it off. She has not yet been tested with cats.<br/><br/>Tootsie is not yet spayed, and we will work with her adopter on getting that scheduled as part of the adoption.<br/><br/>At 2 years old she is past the puppy chaos but still young enough for adventures, road trips, and learning new tricks. She is a happy, easy girl who just needs a family to call her own.<br/><br/>To meet Tootsie or learn more about her, email adoptpetersburg@gmail.com.

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.
