Reviews

The organization never keeps their information updated on PetFinder, which is frustrating in and of itself. 

I've visited on multiple occasions looking for a companion for my pit-mix. On every occasion, the staff have been rude and oddly militaristic. Typically, when you enter a rescue or pound, the staff is excited to see you. In Petersburg, it is the opposite. They act like you are a burden and taking them away from something more important. 

They don't let you bring in your phone or camera, spray you down before meeting the animals, they run a background check before adopting, and don't let you put your hands near the side of the cages. I understand most of those policies, but personally I want to know whether my future dog is going to come up to sniff a stranger and how they are going to react. I also want to know how they react to me before meeting them in a room. 

I can't really explain it, but they just give off the impression that they think the dogs there are better there than they would be elsewhere. It's uncomfortable to be watched as you walk by the dogs, getting warned if you get too close to the side of the cage. It's just bad vibes all around. I wish I could just relocate all those pups to another shelter.

They knowingly sell you sick dogs, my puppy had parvo and kennel cough. They never even treated him....so once we adopted him, they had us do it, but it was too late. Within 5 days, he was already dying and was later put down. No excuse for this, PERIOD!!! 😠 This place ought to be shut down! AVOID AT ALL COSTS!

Extremely helpful, is off to the side off the main road but don't let the isolationtion scare you off, they take great casre of their animals and provide good recommendations to make sure you are matched with the right one.

As I sit and read the reviews I can't help but wonder whats the other side of the story.  But I am not here for that about a year ago (around this time I moved here) I rescued my best friend Pablo from this amazing shelter. I was ready to purchase a dog ,being that I could not find a dog at the Colonial Heights shelter. I googled and did not realize Petersburg had there own shelter. When I arrived it was not what I expected they made sure we were all clean and sprayed ( I have never had that done) prior to entering all of our information was taken.  When I walked in they had a full house of just love ... I was at a lost but I saw my Pablo he is a Dan Lab Pit mix I asked how long do dogs like this  stay in shelters. I was told it was hard to say because he is going to get big and some people won't understand it. Now we are not big people but Pablo was perfect for me. Not only is this facility super clean. They followed rules I had to bring my other dog in to play and meet along with the kids.  
I recently found a stray dog and rescued her off the street. I went to the Petersburg shelter and without hesitation they took that pup in.  There is more to the story but not important.  I must say hands down the best of the best of with what they have. I will follow up on to see what happen to that puppy here soon.

That day I was inspired by them to see if they had any positions open and by gods grace a position was available. I am former military I helped people in my country and I feel its time to help out the Pablos of the world. 

Thank you for what you do and inspiring me.
