Hades was found wandering as a kitten. We brought him and nursed him to health. He is roughly 6 months old neutered male. Only had rabies’s shot. He loves to suck on your ears and is an amazing companion!!! He loves cats and dog and kids. There is not a stranger he can’t befriend. We are Rehoming due to the fact he was always supposed to be a foster but he grew on me and I could do it up until now. He will come with his water bowl and food dish.

All AHHS animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations before adoption (if species appropriate). Application and counseling is required prior to all adoptions. Individuals interested in adopting a puppy are STRONGLY encouraged to download and read this FREE ebook. Even if you've raised puppies in the past, this is an invaluable resource to help make your new addition successful!   Heard of Jenny from the block? Well, this is Betty from the Burger Shack!    Betty's a little over a year old. She was in pretty rough shape when found. Now, she's thriving. She will come up to you and meow to get your attention. She's playful and boy, is she food motivated! She LOVES a good Churu treat. Give her one of those and she's sure to be your best friend.    Betty would do just fine in a home with other cats, kids, and even canines. She'd love nothing more than to become the newest member of your furever family!   To apply, visit ahhumanesociety.org or email Halee@ahhumanesociety.org with any questions.  January 6, 2025, 1:43 pm

Individuals interested in adopting a puppy are STRONGLY encouraged to download and read this FREE ebook. Even if you've raised puppies in the past, this is an invaluable resource to help make your new addition successful!   This big, senior boy is Gandalf. He came to the AHHS from a cruelty case in Sullivan County. Gandalf came to us following a cruelty case in Sullivan County, TN. Given all he's been through, we do try to give him some grace. He was tried in a home with other cats, but it has been determined that he would prefer to be your one and only. He's very content just lounging around with little activity.   He's a large cat; roughly 15 pounds. He does not enjoy being picked up, likely due to his size and insecurities. He's really a neat fella once he warms up to you. He will gladly come over for pets and love but will walk away when he's had enough. With his age, I couldn't see him being the destructive type as he certainly has not been while in his large cat condo at the humane society. However, I cannot guarantee his behavior once in a home environment.    We do allow what is called a "trial adoption" for adult cats which we believe would be a good option for this fella. This allows you a week or 2 to see exactly how he's going to do in your home before committing to adoption.  Please contact Halee for additional information. halee@ahhumanesociety.org or apply online at ahhumanesociety.org.

Individuals interested in adopting a puppy are STRONGLY encouraged to download and read this FREE ebook. Even if you've raised puppies in the past, this is an invaluable resource to help make your new addition successful!   Chella is a beautiful tabby kitten that joined the AHHS in October of 2024. Chella has gone from a nervous, frightened kitten that was afraid to trust and has blossomed into a more outgoing girl that enjoys playing with humans and other cats. Chella is definitely shy upon first meeting, but she's quick to open up to you. She loves to sit quietly with her person(s) and to play with toys of all kinds. She's very much an observer and prefers a laid-back, easy-going lifestyle. Chella is cat friendly and would do okay in a home with other cats and with dogs as long as they are not too loud and scary. Children would also be okay with Chella, but we would prefer that it be an older child capable of respecting Chella's boundaries and her shy demeanor.  If interested in meeting Chella and seeing how quickly she can grow to love you, email Halee@ahhumanesociety.org or apply at https://ahhumanesociety.org/cat-adoption-application/ .February 5, 2025, 4:59 pm

Story
All AHHS animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations before adoption (if species appropriate). Application and counseling is required prior to all adoptions. Individuals interested in adopting a puppy are STRONGLY encouraged to download and read this FREE ebook. Even if you've raised puppies in the past, this is an invaluable resource to help make your new addition successful!   Meet Tonka! Tonka is a very special girl. She has a condition called Cerebellar Hypoplasia. What does that mean, you might wonder? Well, this is a condition in which the cerebellum of the brain fails to properly develop. Our cerebellum is responsible for helping us keep our balance, hand-eye coordination, and controls our fine motor skills. Given that Tonka's has not properly developed, this means she is wobbly and uncoordinated. Please don't worry, as she is not in any pain. This is not a painful condition, nor is it contagious to other animals.    Tonka is in a loving foster home that supports her every step of the way, and we are finding that she is a very resilient girl capable of overcoming any obstacles in her way. Though this is an untreatable condition, she is thriving. She is clumsy, yes, but she is expected to live a pretty normal life as long as she is provided a little extra TLC. Things like elevated food bowls, rugs and carpeting to assist with grip and traction, and moving items that she could easily fall from or trip over really help her out.    Tonka is 1.5 years old and has been spayed, vaccinated, combo tested (negative), dewormed, microchipped, and is on monthly flea prevention. She is a very sweet, loving cat that enjoys snuggles and hanging out on the couch with you watching TV.  Although experience with "CH cats" will not be required for adoption, we will be very particular as to which family she goes to. We want to make sure her future family does all the proper research and are committed to and ready for such a special cat.    If interested in learning more, email Halee@ahhumanesociety.org or complete an adoption application on our website at ahhumanesociety.org.  February 5, 2025, 5:22 pm
