Just a short time ago, they were chasing a trash truck together. A kind lady got them out of the street and took them to Sussex for safety. And now, we are able to welcome them to our shelter so that we can find them each their forever homes! We know for certain that they each need their own home. They survived together on the streets and then they roomed together at Sussex, but it seems once they got some more space and their own runs with us, they realized they preferred to be "next" to each other but not "with" each other. Alex and Marty are four-year-old beagles who are each adorable in their own way. They are just a smidge shy but quickly warm up to people once they realize you want to touch them in a kind way, not a harmful way. Alex is the tricolor/blue tick sweet boy - he is heartworm positive and has already started treatment (which is fully covered by AAS). Marty is the tricolor charming boy and just had ear infections. Alex and Marty seem visibly relieved to be with us but also surprised that people want to love them. They look at us as if to say, wait, you want to be nice to us? And once you start to pet them, they melt right into you. Please come meet Alex and Marty - let's celebrate their smartness of working together to survive and their quest now to just be friends from a distance, never forgetting each needed the other to survive. Come meet Alex & Marty at 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!
PLEASE NOTE: Animal Aid Society observes a 40 mile adoption radius to facilitate post adoption support and follow ups.

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 $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
