Friendly, fuzzy, family dog seeking friendly family (or friend), fuzziness optional, for fun and mutual adoration. Meet Tyr - currently the undisputed mayor of Ice Season. While the rest of us are negotiating with our gloves and reconsidering our life choices, this magnificent goof is outside celebrating like this weather is a long-awaited Amazon order that finally arrived! He's five years old, sturdy and bright, the picture of good health, and already knows how to live in a house without redecorating it in chaos. Housetrained. Experienced. A professional in the ancient arts of Couch, Kitchen Supervision, and Loyal Following From Room To Room. Tyr is playful, energetic, and has shared his life with young children. Humans are, in his view, an excellent invention. He greets them as though each one might be the long-lost friend he's been waiting for since birth. Other dogs? He has opinions. Some receive a polite nod. Some do not make the guest list. He is not out looking for trouble - he simply prefers not to hand out roommate badges to every four-legged applicant. Think discerning, not dramatic. Tyr came from a home filled with care and connection, and through no fault of his own, the ground shifted beneath the people who loved him. Now he waits, carrying all that good history with him, ready to place it gently at someone else’s feet. There's something special about a dog who already knows how to belong to a family. They walk into your life and settle in as if they have always been there. If you have room for devotion, for snowy-day joy, for a steady shadow with excellent ears, Tyr is ready to clock in. Animal Aid Society is located at 80 Butler Farm Road in Hampton. Visiting hours are 9am to noon, including weekends and holidays. Come meet the boy who thinks winter is wonderful - and who's certain to think you are, too. 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
51-90: 8 years
91+: 7 years
