Story
Fiona has been a great family dog. She’s typically very chill with all of our immediate family members. We typically don’t socialize her with young children (other than our kids who she grew up with) as a general precaution so unknown on how she would interact with new children. She’s done well with other dogs in the house when they are properly introduced. She does like her space at times and can be nippy when getting her nails done at home or when being bathed. She also loves to cuddle - she’ll happily lay on the couch all day if you let her. Rehoming due to military move and sadly can’t take her with us.

Story
Meet Button — a 2‑year‑old brindle pit bull with a heart full of love and a spirit that refuses to dim, even after life threw her a curveball. Button came to us after her owner lost both his job and his home in the same week. It was clear from the moment she arrived that she had been very loved — her gentle wiggles, soft eyes, and immediate affection toward new people say everything about the bond she once had and the love she’s ready to give again.Button is incredibly smart and eager to learn. She’s the type of dog who watches you closely, picks up on cues quickly, and genuinely enjoys training. Whether it’s new tricks, manners, or enrichment activities, she’s all in and excited to show off.She passed her dog test and would do well in a home with other dogs, especially those who enjoy playful, friendly company. During her cat test, Button did well overall — she stayed polite and curious — but she did get excited when a kitten darted around the room. She never became vocal or reactive, just enthusiastic. A dog‑savvy cat who’s comfortable with energetic dogs would be an ideal match for her.Button also has a softer side. She loves a sunny day where she can stretch out, sunbathe, and watch the world go by. She’s just as happy relaxing with her people as she is learning or playing, making her a wonderful balance of energy and calm.Button is ready for a home that can offer stability, affection, and continued guidance. If you’re looking for a loving, bright, eager‑to‑please companion who will greet you with joy every single day, Button is waiting to meet you.Button's adoption fee is $175, which helps support their medical care and preparation for adoption.Please note: All of our animals are spayed/neutered and up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations. Each pet also receives a behavioral assessment to help us better understand the type of home they may thrive in. However, it’s important to remember that the results may not fully reflect an animal’s true personality, as shelter and foster environments can be stressful. If you are interested in meeting any of our animals, we encourage you to first visit our website and submit an adoption application: https://www.acskc.org/adopt-1Once your adoption application has been approved, we will call you to set up an appointment to meet with the pet! We welcome adopters from out of state to apply! _When it comes to our pets, we're all-inclusive!

Story
ABOUT ZEUS Zeus came to HAP after his owner passed away. At 7 years old, adjusting to shelter life after living in a loving home has been challenging for him. However, once he realized we all think he’s the cutest guy, he started to warm up to the place! Zeus has become a bit of a celebrity around HAP. Our animal caretakers often take him on walks through the building, where he happily stops to greet all his human friends. In true bully breed fashion, he can be a little stubborn, he now insists on visiting his friends after his outdoor walks. What can we say? The love has become an essential part of his routine! When he’s not soaking up attention, Zeus is a laid-back, easygoing senior pup who enjoys chewing on bones and going for short, leisurely walks. He is friendly with new people, easily won over by treats, and very affectionate. He enjoys long car rides, showing off his tricks, and melting into his friends for love! Given his age and size, Zeus is a low-maintenance companion who spends most of his day lounging or napping! If you are interested in adopting this dog, please submit an adoption questionnaire! Our adoption process is on a first-come, best-match basis and we are not able to hold animals. If you are interested in this specific dog but it ends up not being the best fit upon meeting, our adoption counselors will work with you to help find a match! All household members, including children and other dogs, must come along for the meeting to make sure it's a good fit. If a match is made, we encourage same-day adoptions! Our adoption fees include the animals' spay/neuter, microchip, age-appropriate vaccinations and preventatives, fecal testing, heartworm testing, and a small bag of food to get you started.

Story
Jojo is the most cuddly girl around. She loves being exactly where you are and if youre on the couch she wants to be under the blanket at your feet or snoring right in your lap!! Very smart and very silly. We rescued her just over 2 years ago. She knows basic commands, is crate and house trained, and walks well in her harness. All we were told about her experience before us was that she was dropped at a shelter and her time there was almost up. We decide to adopt to save that sweet girl from being put down. It’s with heavy hearts, due to life changes, we must rehome her. From her time in the shelter she does crave attention. She does not enjoy being left alone and we are looking for the right people to give her the love and care she needs for the rest of her precious life. Must not have other pets as she is very reactive to other dogs. Did great with 8 yr old, have not seen her with an infant. Fee includes her crate.

These pups are in Dover, Delaware too!

Story
it breaks our hearts to let him go. He’s been deeply loved in our family for years, and rehoming him is incredibly difficult. We wish we could keep him forever, but circumstances beyond our control make it necessary. We want only the best new home for him.He is affectionate and great with kids — friendly with everyone he meets. High-energy with playful zoomies and barking when excited, he also loves cuddling as a total couch potato for belly rubs and snuggles. The perfect mix of energetic and loving.Health Note:Thrombocytopenia (low blood platelets) is well-controlled with daily meds. He’s otherwise happy and active. Excellent pet health insurance (80-90% coverage) transfers to the new owner.Seeking an active, patient family who can match his energy and give stability and affection. If you can offer a forever home, he’ll be a wonderful companion.Includes meds, records, and transferable insurance. Reach out if interested. Thank you — he deserves all the love
