Look! Up in the sky! It's a bird... it's a plane... Nope! It's a very tall hound who jumps for joy when he sees you... it's Super Cooper! Cooper is three years old, gloriously healthy, and mostly housetrained -- which means he brings both enthusiasm and manners to the table. He is the kind of dog who greets you like you have just returned from a heroic quest, even if you only stepped outside to grab the mail. His whole body celebrates your existence. This is a young hound in his prime. He wants to play. He wants to hike. He wants to run. If there's an active verb, Cooper wants to try it. Long walks through the neighborhood. Weekend trail adventures. A backyard game of chase that turns into laughter and grass stains. He is built for motion and joy. He adores all humans -- enthusiastically, wholeheartedly, without hesitation. New friend? Excellent. You have a stuffed squeaky toy? Even better. And if you have an active dog who enjoys a good romp, Cooper would love to clock in for playtime. He thrives with canine companions who match his energy and appreciate a good chase. Every superhero has a weakness. Cooper’s kryptonite? Stairs. They are deeply suspicious and, in his opinion, not to be trusted. With patience and encouragement he may improve, but for now he would much prefer a home accessible from the ground floor (apartments would not suit him). When the day winds down, Super Cooper clocks out of superhero duty and becomes simply your dog. The loyal one. The steady one. The one who rests his head near your knee and reminds you that home is a place with four paws in it. Come meet Cooper at Animal Aid Society, 80 Butler Farm Road in Hampton, VA. Visiting hours are 9am to noon, including weekends and holidays. Interested? Come for a visit any day of the week - 365 days a year between 9am - 12pm. Hope to see you soon!
PLEASE NOTE: Animal Aid Society observes a 40 mile adoption radius to facilitate post adoption support and follow ups.

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 $300.00.
Adoption fee for senior dogs is $150.00.
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
