My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Introducing Huckleberry and Muffin!
This father/daughter duo are NOT bonded (happy to be separate), but come from the same sad situation -- they, along with several other hounds, spent years living outside on a patch of dirt in someone's yard. They had no shelter, no clean water, and very little food. And yet, despite everything, you'll never meet a sweeter set of pups! Huckleberry and Muffin were deprived of love and affection their entire lives, and now they're making up for lost time. Huckleberry (M, hound, 10-yrs-old) is a gentle soul who just wants to lean up against you, gaze into your eyes, and enjoy all the pets and rubs you're willing to give. Muffin (F, hound, 1.5-yrs-old) is just as affectionate and loving as her dad, but with a little more bounce and goofiness. Huckleberry and Muffin radiate joy and gratitude. The strength of their spirits amaze us every day. They are both heartworm-positive, but Animal Aid will pay for their treatment, even after you bring them home (together or separately).
PLEASE -- SPREAD THE WORD, and come meet our amazing new guests any day between 9am and noon (including weekends and holidays), no appointment necessary.
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
