Story
Atlas is just over a year old, born completely deaf! He's up to date on all shots and was just neutered a couple months ago. He is crate trained and knows "sit" and "come here" in ASL. He has lived with cats and dogs (and does currently) and has had no issues. We love Atlas, but unfortunately need to rehome him because we discovered that our cat is absolutely terrified of larger dogs. We tried to make it work, but our animals just aren't compatible. We feel awful, because Atlas hasn't done anything to make the cat scared of him. He NEEDS someone who has the time, money, and energy to train a deaf dog. The only issue we've had with him is that he is aggressive towards the vet. No one else at the vet's office, never other animals, just specifically the vet themself. He also sometimes freaks out if a stranger surprises him, due to being deaf. He comes with his vet paperwork, a heavy duty leash/harness, collar, crate, etc.

Please contact Susan Hodge (sedhodge25@gmail.com) for more information about this pet.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!   This is a Courtesy Listing only.  Postings are provided as a courtesy by AHHS to guardians re-homing their pets.  The descriptions and photographs of this animal are provided by the animal’s guardian; the animal has not been evaluated by AHHS and is not an AHHS animal. Adoption processes and fees are at the sole discretion of the pet’s guardian. AHHS makes no claims as to the health or temperament of these pets and cannot be held liable for any outcomes or damages resulting from adoption. This handsome fellow is ready to steal your family’s heart! He’s stolen his foster family’s! Ziggy loves his foster mommy but he adores kids and men most. He just lights up when he hears a man speak or sees kids coming. He’s great with cats! He has been around his fosters’ dogs, but one or the other are always meeting through a crate. The foster family's dogs are a very overwhelming crew. Ziggy always is excited to see them! He likes to eat in his crate alone where no one can rush him. He’s a nice slow eater. He’s still learning to play, but he seems to really love plush toys. He is potty trained and crate trained. He is learning commands, doing well on a leash and is extremely intelligent. He has a particular passion for hunting vermin, like rabbits! Ziggy would do best with a good sized fenced yard. He loves to run and sniff the day away…..searching for those pesky rabbits! He would probably love to explore hiking trails if given the chance!   sedhodge25@gmail.com  November 2, 2024, 8:27 am

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 gentle giant is Ivy. We are looking for an adopter experienced with Great Danes! In typical Dane fashion, Ivy is timid upon first introduction to new people. With some patience, she will warm up and learn to trust you. Ivy's both dog and cat friendly! About 80% of the time, Ivy is content just lounging around chewing on her favorite bone. The other 20% of the time, she has the zoomies (which is quite comical given her size) and wants to go for a leashed walk or jog.  You can adopt Ivy with peace of mind knowing that she has been spayed, has had her stomach tacked (to avoid bloat), is fully vaccinated, has been heartworm tested, and is on prevention. Again, we will require an experienced an adopter so that we are providing Ivy with the best possible future.    You may apply at https://www.ahhumanesociety.org/dog-adoption-application/.

Anderson joined the AHHS under unexpected circumstances. He was brought in by an individual stating that he had been dumped on their property. We aren't quite sure why anyone would dump such a wonderful dog. Anderson, Andy for short, is truly a charmer. He has won us all over in such a short time. His personality is fantastic, and he just loves attention. He is dog friendly and would do fine in a home with children! Anderson deserves a life of comfort and love given his unfortunate past. Could that be you? If so, email Halee at halee@ahhumanesociety.org with questions or apply on our website at ahhumanesociety.org.November 2, 2024, 8:27 am

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 Frankie, the gorgeous Aussie. She came to the AHHS after being passed around from owner to owner. Frankie's first had owners that were elderly and did not have the time/energy for her. Her second owner was a younger individual, but they worked long work hours and made the decision to surrender her. We had what was seemingly the perfect person come along for her, however, it was later determined that she would do best as the only dog in the home.  We are requiring Frankie's adopter to either be experienced with her breed or be willing to do research. She deserves a loving, forever home.  An ideal candidate for Frankie would be someone home often, that is active and has no other dogs in the household. She is insanely intelligent, very motivated to learn, and loves to please. She loves to cuddle up with her person(s).  If interested in learning more about Frankie, please contact Halee at Halee@ahhumanesociety.org or apply online at ahhumanesociety.org.November 2, 2024, 8:27 am

He's a puppy that is the perfect mix of playful and calm! He loves to snuggle up under a blanket with his people when he isn't playing his heart out. Cole has done some major confidence-building within the past few weeks and is really beginning to display his wonderful personality. He is a lover of people and animals, he has never met a stranger! He's got a shiny coat making him quite the looker. He is roughly 5 months old and weighs around 25 pounds currently. He'll likely be medium sized when grown! He's working on crate training and is already doing well on a leash. He's a potty training champ and already knows basic commands! He'd do well in just about any family, though we really feel he'd thrive in one that has another dog or two. If interested in bringing this perfect boy into your life, contact Halee today! Apply online at ahhumanesociety.org or email Halee at halee@ahhumanesociety.org with any questions!November 2, 2024, 8:27 am
