My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hooper is HAPPY!
There's always a wiggle in tail, a bounce in his step, a glimmer of joyful mischief in his eyes...
Hooper just lights up when we come near, and if we happen to have a toy... WOOHOO!!! BEST! DAY! EVER!!!
What amazes us isn't how happy Hooper is (very), but that he is determined to stay happy, and to spread happiness, despite being desperately lonely and bored at the shelter.
Hooper had a loving home (and excellent house manners!), but the other dog in the family was NOT happy with Hooper's presence, and constantly attacked him.
Eventually, the nonstop aggression became too much for Hooper, and the family brought him back to Animal Aid.
Now this sweet, healthy, smart, HAPPY hound is confused about why he lost his couch and soft bed and hikes and belly rubs by the TV.
He'd really like that back.
Give Hooper a home, and he'll give you a lifetime of loyalty, laughter, and happiness.
Come be happy with Hooper -- visit him any day between 9am and noon!
Interested? Come for a visit any day of the week - 365 days a year between 9am - 12pm. Hope to see you soon!

Additional adoption info

If all goes well and you decide to pursue adoption, you will be asked to complete a pre-adopt. Once your family, including any dogs, have also met with the dog you wish to adopt, your application will be submitted to the Adoption Committee for review. We estimate the pre-adoption process can take up to 14 days or longer.

Please note: AAS is committed to finding the best fit for each of our dogs. For this reason, we will accept multiple applications for a dog. In the case of multiple applications, we will select the applicant that is the best fit based on the needs of the dog.

Adoption fee for puppy/adult dogs is $280.00.
Adoption fee for senior dogs is $140.00.

Dogs qualify as a senior based on their stature/weight and age. The scale below shows the age at which a dog attains “senior” designation:

0-20 lbs: 11 years
21-50: 10 years
51-90: 8 years
91+: 7 years
