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.

Stop making people feel bad for finding runaway dogs, it is not our responsibility to make accommodations for animals we can’t keep and belong to others. Thanks for saying “I’ll have to euthanize to make room since you can’t keep it.” Blame your community not the people trying to help. You should be ashamed of yourself!

Brought a stray that I found to this shelter. We loved her but thought she needed to go through the stray hold process (legally speaking) We expressed my family was interested in adopting her. They told us we would have to wait 5-7 days. Only to find out they were planning to let someone else foster/adopt her not even 2 days later. We called multiple times and voicemails but heard nothing. Would have never brought her to this place.

They take care of the animals they have in their care. One officer gave me her info so I could text her pics of my lost pup. If I could've taken all the dogs they had home I wouldve

Trying to report a missing animal during normal business hours. No one is answering the phone, and the gate is locked shut. This is extremely aggravating. I understand that thanksgiving is tomorrow, but if you are open, unlock the gate. If you’re closed for the holiday, please mention that in your voicemail, because you did not. My heart is racing and my dog is gone. These things don’t stop for the holidays. Unacceptable

These people do so much with so little. Donate if you can please. They always need help and not one penny or bag of food is wasted!
