Story
I found this little guy lost about 8 years ago. We were unable to find his owners so I chose to keep him and took him to the vet. He was in good health and guesstimated to be around 2-3 years old. If that was correct, that would make him about 10-11 years old. He has slowed down a bit but is still very chipper. He does fine outside in a fenced area and will return when you call him (most of the time). He prefers to sleep on the couch. He’s honestly a chill dog and does amazing on trail hikes but due to relocation we cannot take him. If you are interested in providing a new home, I’m sure he would be quite happy with anyone who pets him often. He is around kids and cats regularly and has no issues. When around other dogs he takes a more submissive role. Approximately 35 lbs solid black with gray face and chest.

Story
This is Hugo! He is a 8-10 month old lab mix. He was 41 pounds at the time I found him (which is very underweight for him). He was found on the street in Beckley WV on 5/4/25. This baby is very sweet. He is great with my dog. He is extremely food insecure but this is improving with consistent meals. He is quickly learning how to live with people. It does not seem he has ever been in a home. Potty training is going well. He has learned Sit and Lay down. He is gaining weight like a champ. He has been vetted and getting neutered & and chipped today 5/12/25. I found him literally as I was moving to a new state. I have exhausted lost and found groups/shelters/rescues. I have a few rescues trying to find a home for him but I cannot keep him, so I am trying to cast as wide of a net as possible. My new housing has strict pet policies. He really is an amazing dog he just needs a loving/caring home. He is learning manners still and is strong so a home with kids is not suitable.

Story
Check out Bruce! He's a BIG boy with a BIG heart! He's been through a lot in his 1.5 years of life and deserves a long life of love and happiness. We consider Bruce to just be a great big puppy. We see his potential, but his forever family has to be willing to put in the work! Bruce does not like cats, so a cat free home is a must. He thoroughly enjoys playing with other dogs, especially females! We would love to find a family familiar with the breed, but if not, you must be willing to do your homework. To meet Bruce, apply online at https://new.shelterluv.com/matchme/adopt/AHTN/Dog or email Halee@ahhumanesociety.org with any questions!

Story
Hi, I'm Sabrina! My journey began all the way in South Carolina. I was rescued along with my puppies from a rural shelter and brought to the AHHS. My puppies have been adopted, and it is now my time to shine! I have patiently waited for a family of my own since January, but I unfortunately keep getting overlooked. I'm the perfect adult dog. I am housetrained and leash trained. I love my human(s) with a fierce passion! I do not care for cats, so a cat-free home is ideal. I do enjoy the presence of other dogs, especially if a slow introduction is offered. Won't you give me a chance? I promise to be the best girl ever!
