Story
Bullfrog is a special kind of dog. Think of him as a cat in the form of a dog...a big dog. He is going to need a special kind of person who is going to give him space and allow Bullfrog to just be...well, Bullfrog. If you have ever known a cat, you will understand what we mean by this. Bullfrog was picked up as a stray on the southside and taken in by a humane organization that tried their best to find him a home. He had been there a while (eight months) and so they reached out to us, thinking that a change in scenery may do him some good. In the time that he has been with us we discovered that his teeth were a mess (he had to have 8 of them pulled). He has a degenerative condition in his neck. He does not like having his neck touched. Bullfrog does well in playgroup with the other dogs and is excellent about letting us know when he is in the mood for human company - or he if would rather just hang out on his bed. If you are looking for a hiking buddy, snuggle bug, or a dog that you can wrestle with - that is not Bullfrog. If you are looking for a dog that would make a great companion for another laid back dog, we hope that you might consider Bullfrog. If you looking for a very intelligent dog that needs his space, we encourage you to come meet Bullfrog.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.

Story
Finn is available to meet qualified applicants BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.Please email contact@animalaidsociety.org for more information.Finian was found wandering the streets of Hampton on March 16th, his back leg injured and his head, face, eyes, and mouth burned with acid. This poor boy was left to fend for himself. Luckily, the amazing people who found him were able to get him to The COVE (Center Of Veterinary Expertise) for care and comfort that first night, then he went to stay with our friends at Peninsula Regional Animal Shelter for a few days, and now he's with us. We may never know who did this to Finn, but we do know that even though he's been through a lot... the only time he cries is when he's left alone. Over the past few months, Finn's face has healed, his vision has improved (but will never be great), and he underwent very intricate orthopedic surgery to repair his back leg. Finn desperately wants to be with people, but, he's never really had a chance to be a "normal" dog with loving humans. He's still learning. Sometimes he's fearful, sometimes he's over-excited and mouthy, and sometimes he's a calm snuggly dude. Finn will only be considered for adoption to a home with no children (nobody under the age of 18), and no other pets. He needs an experienced person to help him take his next steps towards recovery.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.

Story
Max is approaching an anniversary none of us feel celebratory about… TWO YEARS at the shelter.He’s changed so much during his stay at Animal Aid, and we think, thanks to the unconditional love of our volunteers and the work of our terrific trainer, Max is finally ready to go home.Max arrived in the Summer of 2023, wary and distant. He’s a big guy with big eyes, and his side-eye was intense! He didn’t want much to do with us. He was anxious – everything scared him, and while he’s NEVER bitten, his barks and jumps certainly did the trick of keeping the “scary” things away!Over time, we won him over with treats, toys, and walks. As we earned his trust, we made an amazing discovery – Max’s true joy, the thing he loves most in this world, is cuddles!!!He’ll lean himself against you and gaze at you with those eyes – and then you’ll watch those eyes close with complete contentness as you rub his back or scratch his ears.Max’s favorite activity? Nap time!Lay on his bed with him, and he’ll snuggle into you (he’s the small spoon). Sing him a lullaby (he likes “rainbow Connection” and “Blackbird”), and he’s fast asleep, smiling.When Max is awake, our trainer is teaching him how to manage his anxiety – to look to his humans for comfort and reassurance when something scary happens.It’s working.Max is healthy, neutered, 65-pounds, and approaching 7-years-old.He would THRIVE in a calm, adult-only home.Adopt Max, and you get a trainer, too! Animal Aid will cover the cost of in-home sessions with the trainer who’s brought him so far already!Come snuggle with Max at Animal Aid Society, 80 Butler Farm Road, Hampton, VA. Visiting hours are 9am to noon, daily including weekends and holidays.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.

Story
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, 23666Interested? Come for a visit any day of the week - 365 days a year between 9am - 12pm.

Story
Our sweet Murphy is the love hound - lover of all things, just not other dogs! He simply can't get enough of people - young and old, small and tall. But dogs of any size and that's a no!Murphy came to us from the same person as Winston and Ollie. Given their previous lifestyle, we can certainly understand his stance with other dogs - he has lived outside in close quarters with them and enough is enough!So bring on the people for Murphy - let him look into their eyes like he does, so that their hearts instantly melt! He is most definitely a people charmer!Murphy is 5-years-old and weighs 32 pounds. He is heartworm positive but has started his treatment and it is all covered by AAS, even once he goes home!So if you have no other pets but are looking for the perfect companion, please come meet this charming boy! Murphy will steal your heart the instant you see him! Murphy and his friends are available to meet every single day, rain or snow, from 9am-12pm!Animal Aid Society, 80 Butler Farm Road, Hampton VA.Interested?
