Imagine if devotion came in cube form with fuzzy hair and a tail. That’s Shadow. This healthy (slightly chonky), 10-year-old Schnauzer built his life with a senior woman who adored him. With her, Shadow mastered the fine arts of steady presence, polite behavior, and unconditional love. When she passed away, her daughter made the generous and difficult decision to find Shadow a home that can give him the same gentle rhythm and everyday closeness he craves. Shadow arrives with excellent house manners, a calm temperament, and the social confidence of someone who has nothing to prove. He doesn't redecorate your home with chaos; he doesn't believe every moment requires barking. He treats furniture with respect and people with quiet affection. His résumé includes a line that sounds fictional but is absolutely real: he's genuinely great with cats. Not “tolerates.” Not “under review.” Great. Shadow's not auditioning to be the center of attention -- he's applying to be your constant. He will keep you company while you work, relax near you while you read, and generally make life feel steadier and warmer in the way only a good dog can. If you're looking for a low-drama best friend with a sturdy build and a soft heart, Shadow's ready to report for duty. Please come meet Shadow at Animal Aid Society, 80 Butler Farm Road, Hampton, VA. Visiting hours: 9am to noon, every day, 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:
