We are hoping 3 strikes, plus a guardian angel, will finally bring Haverly the life he so richly deserves. Strike 1 - Haverly (then Jordan) was adopted out by us in the fall of 2022. He seemingly was living a good life, but then his adopter was transferred to Japan in the fall of 2025. Strike 2 - Haverly's adopter "re-homed" him - something that is absolutely not allowed per our contract. If an adopter can't keep the dog, for whatever reason, the dog comes back to us. But not with Haverly. He was just re-homed. Strike 3 - That person then re-homed Haverly AGAIN. Within just a few months, Haverly lost his first adopter and his second person. And we knew nothing about this. Until Animal Control in Virginia Beach sent an email to us saying Haverly was just picked up as a stray and was at VBACC. We eventually got in touch with the first adopter and were told, sorry, they had no information about who exactly had him before AC found him. We picked up Haverly as soon as we could. He was fed well but we had NO information about his health. He cries a bit but seems to be adjusting to being back at the shelter. He is finding new friends and new routines. And then we realized he had a guardian angel - and we decided a new name is a perfect way for him to never forget who took a chance on him the first time. Chris Haverly was a savior for over 14,000 animals in the SW part of the state. Taking them for spay/neuter, taking them to meet other rescues, getting them out of the area to have a better chance at a new life. He was in an accident recently and passed away. We received many dogs from Chris - and in the fall of 2022, then-Jordan was one of them. So here we go. We are doing all we can to find Haverly his new FOREVER home and we feel certain Chris is watching over him until that happens. Haverly is four-years-old and is a pure delight. He loves people and loves other dogs. And we love him. Please spread the word about this super survivor. We owe it to Chris. And to Haverly. Animal Aid Society, 80 Butler Farm Road, Hampton VA. Open daily 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
51-90: 8 years
91+: 7 years
