Story
Tanner is a senior Retriever mix with a gentle way about him. He moves slowly and deliberately, except for his tail, which seems determined to express every positive emotion he’s ever had. There’s a softness in his face and a warmth in his golden eyes that hint at both what he’s been through and what he’s still hoping for.When Tanner came to us after his person passed away, he was in rough shape. Thin, exhausted, and so anemic from fleas, even a bath would have overwhelmed his system. Those first days, he spent most of his time curled up in his little apartment, watching us with the weary caution of a dog who wasn’t sure what came next.So we kept things simple. Good food. Supplements. Soft beds. A lot of calm, no-pressure kindness. Slowly he realized the world wasn’t trying to knock him down anymore. His coat brightened. His energy returned. And one day he walked outside with surprising confidence, tail spinning like it had been waiting for its moment to shine.These days he enjoys the basics: a quiet walk, a soft place to nap, and anyone willing to offer a slow back scratch. He leans in with his full weight, which is flattering right up until you remember how solid fifty pounds can be. Pull out a cookie and he looks like a child seeing magic for the first time.Tanner isn’t dramatic, and he isn’t trying to reinvent himself. He’s simply a sweet, steady, grateful dog who appreciates the small, good things. If you like peaceful mornings, soft snoring, and a companion whose loyalty arrives without fanfare, you’ll understand him immediately.TANNER IS IN FOSTER -- PLEASE CALL THE SHELTER TO SCHEDULE AN APPOINTMENT TO MEET HIM!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.

Story
With every goodbye you learn.Two amazing, loving people had to say goodbye to Tilly (aka Matilda) and bring her back to us. They had taken her home as a foster-to-adopt and gone above and beyond to make it work with their two cats. Sadly, that was not to be.They got Tilly through her first of three heartworm treatments and helped her settle into home life. They learned her likes and dislikes and appreciated Tilly for the amazing girl that she is. They realized she didn't really respond to Matilda, but Tilly made her light up.We now also know that she loves to be sung to and can endlessly look at herself in the mirror. She continues to cross her front paws when laying down, which makes every heart melt. And she came back to us with an army of stuffed toys - all with the squeakers taken out because they scare her - and, most importantly, her very own Squishmallow.When I went to give Tilly her lunch today, she was curled up on her bed in her room, enjoying the A/C and surrounded by her stuffed friends. You almost couldn't see her because she was lying under her Squishmallow, but then her sweet head popped up.Tilly is 8-years-old and heartworm positive but nearing the end of her treatment, which is fully covered by AAS. And, wow, this girl has so much love to give, just not to cats or other dogs.We are beyond sad that Tilly doesn't enjoy cats and could not stay with two people who love her dearly. But, we are so grateful for all the new information we have about this extraordinary girl. Please come meet our Tilly - she is a sight to behold and will fully embrace you with love. Tilly and all of her friends are available to meet every single day form 9am-12pm at 80 Butler Farm Road in Hampton!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.

Story
Esther has a secret she'd like to share with us all. But first, her backstory. She came to us from our friends at Sussex with her sister, Edith. They were surrendered there with their three other siblings.Esther and Edith are beautiful lab mixes, who appear to be about 3-years-old. They want to be with people. They adore people and will roll over at your feet before you can blink.They are calm, yet playful and wonderfully silly. They have easily adapted to shelter life, almost as if they know that this is just a quick stop before their forever family finds them.Esther has been in playgroup and our shy dog class and she has soared. She is somewhat cautious but it takes just a minute before her calmness takes over and she enjoys it all.So here's her secret - she has a way to predict her future because her sister has been in a home for the past two weeks. We can tell you how well Edith is doing in a home and, given how alike they were in the shelter together, we feel quite certain Esther in a home will be quite similar to Edith in a home.And whoever gets Esther is very lucky. Because Edith is a superstar in the home. She welcomed other dogs, both low and high energy. She loves a good sofa and loves snuggling even more. She is housetrained and respects her surroundings. And she adores kids.Edith has checked all the boxes and we are pretty certain Esther will as well. These girls are two of the sweetest we've ever had.Please come meet Esther - she is the total package, wrapped up in a delightful shade of chocolate! Esther and all of her friends are available to meet every single day from 9am-12pm, 80 Butler Farm Road in Hampton!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.

Story
Hi, I’m Champ, a red Lab mix weighing in at a solid 75 pounds of opinions. My records say I was born February 12, 2011, but honestly, who knows? They also say I’m 12, but my foster thinks I’m closer to 10. Either way, I’m old enough to know what I like — and what I don’t. Let’s get this straight: I’m a grump. Not in a “mean” way — more in a “I have boundaries and I enforce them” way. I need slow introductions and downtime to decompress. If you rush me, I’ll give you the look. If you touch my butt without permission (looking at you, Kevin), I might remind you that I’m not a fan of surprise contact. My Ideal Life No kids. I don’t do chaos or sticky fingers. Dogs? I’m very selective. Think VIP list, not open admission. Cats? Jury’s still out. Humans? Once I trust you, I’m all in — I love being petted and will happily share your bed like the dignified couch potato I am. I’m neutered, I walk well on a leash, enjoy calm strolls, and prefer naps over marathons. Personality Summary Grumpy, but honest about it. Couch potato with strong opinions. Loves affection — on his terms. Needs a patient, respectful human who gets that “grumpy” doesn’t mean “bad.” I am in Hampton, VA but can be transferred to other locations for the right home. Please note, a transport fee may apply if volunteer transport cannot be found. If you’re the kind of person who appreciates a dog with character, boundaries, and a little side‑eye, Champ might just be your soulmate.

Story
Hi, I’m Boo—55 pounds of fluffy white‑and‑tan perfection, possibly a Jack Russell Terrier/Lab mix, but honestly I’m too fabulous to fit neatly into a breed box. I’m about 5 years old, neutered, vaccinated, heartworm negative, potty trained, crate trained, and ready to find a home that appreciates my very particular tastes. Let’s get straight to the point: I love female dogs. All ages. All sizes. All vibes. Girl dogs? Queens. Angels. My besties. Male dogs? Absolutely not. Hard pass. Zero stars. Would not recommend. And while we’re being honest… I also hate men. Not all men, but enough men that it’s statistically significant. And Donna? My foster mom's friend. Yeah, I hate Donna too. Don’t ask why. I just do. But women? Female dogs? I’m a marshmallow. A cuddle bug. A delight. I love going to the pet store where my fan club practices my tricks—sit, paw, etc.—and showers me with treats. I adore toys and proudly carry them outside like trophies. Sometimes I bury them, because I’m mysterious and dramatic like that. If you notice my front left foot looking a little funky, don’t panic. This is from a torn ligament that healed in its own artistic interpretation of “straight.” I will take pain killers every now and again when it does bug me. It doesn’t hurt often, it doesn’t slow me down, and it makes my high‑five look like a sly little “heyyy.” My hobbies include: Zoomies Splashing in my kiddie pool Fetch Belly rubs Being adorable Hating male dogs Hating men Hating Donna I’m a champion couch potato after a good romp, and I’m the perfect mix of playful and chill. I’m currently living my best life in Clemmons, NC, but I can be transported to other states for the right family. If you’re looking for a hilarious, loving, kid‑friendly, female‑dog‑friendly, man‑skeptical, Donna‑despising companion… I’m your guy. Fill out an application and let’s start our weird little journey together.
