Petersburg Animal Care & Control
Meet Sterling! A gorgeous eight year-old neutered male Poodle! He may be grown, but he has plenty of energy and playfulness! Sterling came to us because his owner became too ill to care for him. Sterling himself had been suffering for a while from lack of grooming and major eye issues. Richmond Animal League stepped up and took care of all of his medical needs which included having his right eye removed. For a while Sterling was in recovery mode, but now he is ready to get a new home. The perfect family for this guy would be a single person or couple who wants a companion. Sterling is house broken, heart worm negative, and up to date on everything! Please come visit him and all the other wonderful animals at Petersburg Animal Care and Control!
Click here to view all PACC pets. PACC hours are Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from noon to 4 p.m., Friday from Noon to 6 p.m. and Saturday from 1 to 3 p.m. Appointments are also available by calling (804) 732-3654.
