Introducing Jess, a young and playful girl with lots of love to give! Jess is a 1.5 year old girl who is affectionate and loves to play.

Jess is young and has the energy to match; she's looking for an active home that can give the exercise, play and continued training she needs!

Story

Meet Juniper! This young sweet girl is full of energy and curiosity. Better yet, she's got the most perfect wrinkly mushy face that will make you fall in love! Juniper was found by a Good Samaritan on the streets, but unfortunately has not been claimed since. She is smart, friendly, and playful, and she already knows how to sit like the goodest girl! At approx. 2 years old, she is at the perfect age to learn more tricks and commands with you. Juniper would love a forever home where she can explore, learn, and make new friends. We haven't yet evaluated whether Juniper gets along with other dogs, but she is friendly with people and very sweet -- she's just itching to snuggle up with you on the couch! She is estimated to weigh around 50-60 pounds, and has been hoping to find a loving family of her own for a while now.

Alfie (in foster)

Pit Bull Terrier Mixed Breed (Medium)

Male, Puppy

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Alfie, an adorable baby who is just bursting with love and affection! He may be young, but Alfie has already developed quite the personality. Alfie is a 7-8 month old bundle of joy who's ready to find his forever home! Approx. 50 pounds of pure love and energy, Alfie is waiting just for you! He's crate trained, nearly perfectly housebroken, and LOVES to play -- whether with human or dog friends, or even on his own! He's especially into other pups who share his play style as he is an active young boy. His favorite toys are his jolly balls and rope toys, which he has been fortunate enough to have in abundance in his current foster home. Alfie has not been cat tested, so we don't know how he would do with any feline friends. Alfie has a very funny personality that will keep you laughing, and he loves giving kisses to his favorite humans. He is very smart, but sometimes a bit mischievous -- like any young pup exploring the big wide world, so he will need a forever home that can teach him the ways of the world, and make sure that he has a good balance of regular exercise and positive basic training. Luckily for us, little Alfie is so eager to please and if given yummy snacks and a little patience can learn all of the tricks and good behavior you could possibly want! Because he's such a young bouncy pup, we think Alfie would probably do best in a home with older kids. Take a look at Alfie's foster family's TikTok channel to see some of his adorable adventures: https://www.tiktok.com/@freyas.foster.fri?_t=8nxhiKSVdql&_r=1 If you're looking for a forever adventure buddy and a life full of love, kisses, and play, Alfie is the pup for you! If you think Alfie is as perfect as we do and want to bring him home, send an email to us at adoptpetersburg@gmail.com and include "Alfie" in the subject line.

Good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Meet Phoebe! This beautiful baby girl is fast approaching 1 year old and is (not so) patiently waiting for her forever family. She came into the shelter as a tiny scared puppy and was scooped up by a foster family, where she was able to grow and develop her funny little personality away from the chaos and loud noises of the shelter. Miss Phoebe is already spayed and up-to-date with all of her vaccinations. She does well with other dogs, and loves to play! Phoebe is an active girl, and needs a family that will be able to provide the right mental and physical stimulation to keep her entertained, like most other young pups. She has done some basic training, so she won't be coming home fully unprepared, but as she's a young girl, she can always learn new tricks with the right motivation and some positive reinforcement! If you offer the good yummy snacks we're confident Miss Phoebe can learn any new commands you should desire. Phoebe is very smart, playful, goofy, and cuddly. She loves to snuggle and give/receive affection, but won't say no to playing tug or fetch for hours too! She's a bundle of joy with so much to offer. Little Phoebe is looking for her forever home where she can be free to experience all the world has to over and show off her sweet, playful personality. Does she sound like the perfect addition to your family? If yes, send an email to adoptpetersburg@gmail.com and include "Phoebe" in the subject line.
