The chance to dream in color. Can you imagine? Because of the kindness of a couple, Buttons now has the chance to dream in color, to dream of a life much richer than what he had. Trust us when we say that it really won't take much to top his previous life - because it was almost too sad to imagine. A young couple found Buttons to be in a very bad situation - they took him out of that life and tried for a short time to give him more than he had but, with a baby on the way and a sweet husky, they didn't have the room. But they kindly got Buttons to us. He was very much underweight and, worse than that, his paws were swollen, with sores on the bottom of them - most likely the result of living in a crate and standing for long periods of time in his own urine. Here is the colorful news, though - things are only getting better for Buttons. He is on medication, his paws are healing and he is gaining weight. He has some friends in Panda's and he is now able to lead a relaxed and carefree life. The only missing part is his new family. A new family, a new home and great health would make his life burst with color. Can you imagine? From nothing to everything. Buttons is just under two years old and appears to be a gorgeous cocker spaniel with one blue eye. He has the sweetest disposition and his kisses let you know how much he appreciates all the good that is coming to him. Do you have room in your heart for Buttons? Can you share all the color you have with him? Please come meet this handsome boy - you will see what a furry survivor looks like! Animal Aid Society, 80 Butler Farm Road, Hampton VA. Open every 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!

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:
