Story
MISSION UPDATE: SANTINI HAS BEEN DECLASSIFIED.The top-secret rescue operation is complete, the paperwork is secure, the witnesses have been relocated, and we've finally received clearance to reveal the face behind the mystery.And yes - he really is VERY handsome.For those just joining us, Santini is a healthy, young, 85-pound Lab mix who came to us from the West Coast after some very good people helped get him safely out of a bad situation and into a much better one.When he first arrived, we were being extra cautious about sharing his photo or location online. But Santini is safe now, so he can finally step out of the shadows, ditch the voice changer, and reveal his true identity.Even better, we’ve learned more about our canine asset.Santini LOVES children.He LOVES other dogs.And he loves people in general with the wholehearted enthusiasm of a dog who apparently believes everyone he meets has been personally assigned to his detail by the Department of Snuggling.Santini was clearly a beloved family dog before his life took an unexpected turn, and it shows. He has excellent house manners, loves to play, loves to cuddle, and is wonderfully social and affectionate.Santini’s unusual journey does NOT come with unusual problems. He's simply a very good dog who needed a safe place to land - and now he needs his next family.And unlike before, you no longer have to take our word for how handsome he is.Exhibit A is attached.Come meet Santini at Animal Aid Society, 80 Butler Farm Road, Hampton, VA.Visiting hours are 9 a.m. to noon daily, including weekends and holidays.The mission now is considerably simpler: Find this wonderful dog a home.Interested? Come for a visit any day of the week - 365 days a year between 9am - 12pm.

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.

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.

Story
PLEASE COME SEE FLYNN.Flynn's been at the shelter for more than 65 days, and he hasn't had a single visitor. That's heartbreaking because this gentle 3-year-old mix has worked so hard to overcome a terrible start.We recently took Flynn to a shy-dog class hosted by trainer Adam Claar, and we watched something remarkable happen.Flynn was hesitant to enter the training area, but a few treats persuaded him that the doorway wasn't a portal to doom. Once inside, he completely lit up.The dog who initially cowered in the corner began approaching people for ear scratches and belly rubs. Then he started playing with the other dogs -- gleefully! Flynn's usual default had been the "if I can't see you, you can't see me" move toddlers are famous for, but this time, he lept into the spotlight! He even completed a confidence exercise by knocking over a Solo cup to retrieve a cookie. That may not sound like a major achievement, but for Flynn, it was approximately the emotional equivalent of planting a flag on the moon.Flynn came to us from a very bad situation in which his owner faced surrendering him or possible cruelty charges. When he arrived, he was frightened, shut down, and constantly cowering.Now he's playful, affectionate, gentle, and eager to connect. He especially adores other dogs and becomes visibly happier whenever he sees a friendly one.Flynn has already shown us how brave he can be. Now he needs someone to show him that all his hard work was worth it.Please come meet Flynn, and please share his story. After more than 65 days without a visitor, he deserves the chance to light up for a family of his own.Animal Aid Society is located at 80 Butler Farm Road, Hampton, VA. Visiting hours are 9am to noon, daily, including weekends & holidays.Interested? Come for a visit any day of the week - 365 days a year between 9am - 12pm.

Story
A dad and his toddler son came to the shelter recently to meet some dogs.Now, we’re careful about which dogs we introduce to little kids. Toddlers are, after all, tiny agents of chaos - they squeal, they bounce, they change direction without filing the appropriate paperwork.So when it came time to choose a dog for this little boy to meet, everybody had the same first choice:Luka.Luka is a 4-year-old Lab mix, and from the moment he walked out, it was obvious we’d picked the right guy.The little boy laughed and danced around him, absolutely delighted to have a doggy audience. And Luka? Luka looked just as delighted to have found this happy little dude.Luka didn’t jump. He didn’t get overexcited. He didn’t try to turn the whole thing into a wrestling match.He just stood there with the biggest smile on his face, tail wagging and wagging, soaking up every second of that little boy’s joy.And honestly, that tells you just about everything you need to know about Luka.He's gentle, affectionate, well-mannered, and easy to be around -- the kind of dog who seems to understand that sometimes the best thing you can do is simply stand beside someone and be happy that they’re happy.He loves attention, loves people, and has that wonderful steady sweetness that makes you exhale a little when you’re around him.Luka isn’t complicated. He’s just a terrific dog.Four years old, healthy, handsome as can be, and ready for somebody to realize that the wonderful dog they’ve been hoping to find has been standing here all along - smiling and wagging his tail.Come meet Luka at Animal Aid Society, 80 Butler Farm Road, Hampton, VA. Visiting hours are 9am to noon, daily, including weekends and holidays.Interested? Come for a visit any day of the week - 365 days a year between 9am - 12pm.

Story
Hi there, I'm Boo, a sweet and fluffy mixed breed (maybe Jack Russel Terrier and lab mix) with white fur and tan spots. I'm about 5 years old and weigh 55 pounds. I'm looking for a loving and caring family who can give me a forever home. I would do well with children, but I recommend older kids because of my size and energy level. I have grown a community of love and support around me. One of my favorite things to do is to visit my friends at the pet store who practice my training (sit, paw, etc.) with me and give me yummy treats! I'm a happy boy who loves to play with other dogs all the time. I have not been cat-tested but can be if you’d like. I love toys and bringing them outside in the yard to play with. I do like to bury some of my toys too. If you look closely at my photos, you may notice that my front left foot is oddly bent. The vet thinks it was broken and simply healed this way. It doesn’t hurt me or slow me down at all. As you can see from my videos, I still have a great time playing. There really isn’t any need to do anything about it. I just wanted to let you know why my “high five” looks more like a sly five. I absolutely adore Zoomies, splashing around in my swimming pool, playing fetch, and getting belly rubs. There's nothing better than a good romp around followed by some quality couch-potato time. I'm neutered, vaccinated, and heartworm negative. I'm also potty and crate trained. I'm currently being fostered in Clemmons, NC, but can be transported to other states for my perfect match family. If you think you could be the one for me, please complete an application to let my rescue know you're interested in Boo. I can't wait to meet you and start our new journey together!
