Mastiff puppies and dogs in Petersburg, Virginia

Meet Gabby! Gabby is a stunning and affectionate Mastiff/Great dane mix. At only around three years old, she already knows some basic commands (including sit, down, and up), making her an incredibly intelligent and trainable pooch! Despite her size, Gabby is a gentle giant who walks well on a leash and gently approaches the people she meets. Her loving nature and eagerness to please make her an ideal companion for someone looking for a big and beautiful best friend. She came to us after being rescued from a situation of neglect, and she has since healed both physically and emotionally, proving that she still has a lot of love to give. This gorgeous girl somehow still has space in her heart for love and affection despite it all -- do you have space in your heart for her? If you're interested in adopting Gabby, please come visit the shelter or send an email to adoptpetersburg@gmail.com and include "Gabby" in the subject line. We look forward to helping Gabby find her forever home!

Are you ready to welcome a distinguished gentleman into your home? Bruno might just be the perfect match for you! Despite his senior status (estimated 14 years young), Bruno has plenty of pep in his step and a heart full of love to share. With a little tender love and care, he's sure to thrive and enjoy many more happy years by your side. Bruno is in good health, as confirmed by recent bloodwork, but he'll need updated vaccines and regular veterinary care to ensure he stays in top shape. He's housebroken and well-behaved indoors, though he wears a belly band due to a condition called smegma. Don't let that deter you - he's still a clean and respectful housemate! While Bruno knows the command "sit," he's still working on his "stay" skills. He can tolerate a crate for short periods but much prefers the comfort of a cozy couch. He's a social butterfly who gets along well with other dogs indoors, but he may be reactive on walks, likely just eager to meet new furry friends. Unfortunately, Bruno isn't a fan of cats - he's got a bit of a chasing instinct! But don't worry, he's more interested in toys and treats anyway. This affectionate sweetheart loves nothing more than spending time with his humans. He's got puppy energy to spare and enjoys a good game of fetch or a romp in the yard. Keep in mind, Bruno is a big boy with a big heart, so he'd do best in a home with adults or older children who can handle his size and energy level. A work-from-home situation or the ability to come home midday for potty breaks would be ideal for him. If you're looking for a loyal companion who's equal parts cuddly and playful, look no further than Bruno. Come meet him today and see if he's the perfect fit for your family! Send an email to adoptpetersburg@gmail.com and include "Bruno" in the subject line if you're interested in this perfect gentleman.

She's about 4 years old and this big, beautiful Boerboel arrived in July, 2023 after having a couple of unfit homes. Spice needed some time to put all of that behind her, and she needed help in learning how to trust again. She's a resilient girl though, and she does her best not to let things get her down. Unfortunately, it does get her down, being here for so long. When Spice comes out of the kennel with friends, she's a big, bubbly goofball! She bonds intently with her friends and, as mastiffs are, she's protective of those she's bonded with. It takes her a minute or two to get to know and trust you but once she does, she just about knocks you over with leaning against you to get all of your attention. Spice is well-behaved and has learned lots! She knows sit, stay, down, paw, and so much more. She's good on a leash and loves toys too! Spice has had lousy experiences with pets in the past so it's best if she goes to a home where she can be an only pet. That just means she'll love YOU all the more though. She hopes so much that you'll just give her a chance already. She'll love you forever if you do. Call 609-693-1900 or email: office@ahsppz.org for an application.

PERSONALITY: Very goofy, Wonky, wants to be a lap dog and get lots of belly rubs. He does not beg for food, but he does beg for lots of love! He thinks he is the size of a Chihuahua so he will knock you over but is so very remorseful! He does need some confidence boosting but he is very eager to learn so much!   Duke needs time to warm up to new people.  Think of him as a baby deer...avert your eyes, don't speak to him, and just wait for him to come to you. Once your in you are in!  He loves kids and enjoys running around and cuddling with them too.  He is also not a fan of sassy dogs who try to tell him the business!  He did work with a trainer to develop some key skills of redirection while on walks and those skills should be followed in his new home.   FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: Running around outback playing with his foster brothers, receiving his BarkBox every month and having a new chew toy to demolish! MEDICAL ISSUES: None!   WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME: With another dog companion that does NOT bark at him when meeting. Younger couple that can handle his weight when he pulls on the leash when he gets excited. Someone that is home often because he is bigger being in a crate for longer than 6 hours is hard on his bones!

You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website. Fill out an Adoption Application HEADLINER : Daisy is a super sweet Cane Corso. She is in the process of getting up to her desired weight of 95 lbs. She has personality overload. Came to us with a docked tail that is so cute and wags constantly. A beautiful shade of fawn, and super cute wrinkles on her little nose. HISTORY: Daisy was a stray and recent puppy momma. She was in foster with her babies until they were all adopted. She is now in a new foster home in Bucks County PA. LIKES: Daisy LOVES her humans and will do best with one home most of the time. Her love language is physical touch!! She has been trained to use a doggie door, but the current foster does not have one. She is 100% house trained. Playing with her toys, tug ropes. She likes walks, to explore her yard, loves her zoomies and is food motivated. Likes other dogs and is fine with my cat. LOVES car rides!!! DISLIKES: Daisy does not like to be home without her humans for long periods of time- and she is an escape artist when gated!! Very vocal when she is not happy!! Dominant dogs scare her, and she becomes reactive. Slow, steady introductions worked with her 6 foster siblings. PERSONALITY:Super sweet, extremely intelligent, quick learner, inquisitive, eager to interact. Very playful, sassy, energetic and vocal when wants attention. Thrives on human attention. Good with other non-dominant dogs, but requires slow introduction to all dogs. She also takes a bit to warm up to new people and will be protective until comfortable. Unconditional love! TEMPERAMENT: Always happy. Good on a leash and at the vet.  Love bug- not a mean bone in her body!! ENERGY LEVEL: She has medium energy; sometimes may enjoy bursts of activity but is mostly laid-back and relaxed.  She enjoys walks or yard time to burn off her energy. FAVORITE ACTIVITIES: Most definitely is being with her humans.  She does like other dogs and will engage in play if initiated. Ear rubs and butt scratches are pretty up there on the happiness scale. Toys, tug of war and laying on the floor to trip you. And TREATS- she loves yummies! CHALLENGES: She does have some separation anxiety and will require patience with this. She also needs basic manners past “Sit." Foster mom successfully using Trazadone for her separation anxiety when she must go to the office. ANY MEDICAL ISSUES?: Daisy has a congenital eye condition in dogs that causes the eyelid to roll inward. She will have entropion surgery and recovery prior to adoption but may require daily eye lubricant drops for some time. WHAT WOULD BE THE BEST KIND OF HOME : Daisy would love a work-from-home parent.  She adores people, loves car rides, and will be a wonderful companion.  Patience will be required for slow introductions to resident pets, and outside humans. Her new humans will have to work on basic manners with her and over time she will be the bestest girl ever!! ADDITIONAL OBSERVATIONS / COMMENTS:  Does not crate, but respects a tall enough gate (we are using a 51 in gate). Would advise a proper, slow decompression and introduction to resident dog(s). If resident dog is dominant, would work slowly and do parallel walks together. She had been around a chicken coup and exposure to horses and cows at a distance…unreactive.

Percy is a big boy! He would do best in a home where he could be the center of attention.
