Ok, you know you're doing something right at your shelter when dogs start surrendering themselves to you! We were in the middle of a busy Sunday shift, cleaning runs, snuggling pups, greeting visitors......when we looked up and saw an unfamiliar fuzzy face! A gorgeous gray and white pup with the sweetest eyes just strolled into the shelter, and from there, right on into a playpark we opened up to corral him. "Let's call him Bob!" shouted a volunteer as he jogged over to befriend our newest guest. And so, Welcome Bob! We scanned him for a chip, reported him to the proper authorities, and posted him online. Nobody claimed him. Now Bob's officially ours, and he can be yours! Bob is an awesome little dude -- so friendly, so affectionate, so gentle. He LOVES every person he meets, and seems very interested in befriending the other dogs, too! The only time we've ever seen Bob sad is when we have to leave - he hangs his head, his usually-waggy tail sags, and he cries the softest, most heartbreaking cry. Bob came to our shelter looking for help, and he's shown us nothing but trust and gratitude. Help us show Bob he made the right choice! We suspect Bob traveled pretty far to reach us, and together, we can make sure that Bob's long journey ends in a loving forever home. Thanks for the validation, Bob! Thanks for choosing us! We and our online family won't let you down! Come meet Bob any day (including weekends and holidays) between 9am and noon. We're at 80 Butler Farm Road, Hampton, VA, 23666 Interested? Come for a visit any day of the week - 365 days a year between 9am - 12pm. Hope to see you soon!

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
