Story
Hi My name is Bhuddi. I'm a 7 year old male American Bulldog. Im neutered, up to date on vaccines and housebroken. Sadly, my lovely human Mom of 5 years has medical issues and can't keep me any longer. We are both so sad because this was to be my forever home! My mom doesn't want my last years spent in a shelter and I sure don't either! If you can find space in your heart and home, I'd be the best dog ever!! So a little about me. I love to play ball and Hide and Seek. I don't need a whole lot of excercise if your a couch potatoe (smile) and I'm not destructive when left alone. Thank you for taking the time to learn about me.

Story
For most of Cinderella's life, the world was a blur -- light and shadow filtered through painful cherry eyes. People noticed the red first. They hesitated. They moved on.But look at her now!After surgery to repair her double cherry eye, the world no longer hurts to see. Cinderella sees you -- your outline, your face, your hand reaching toward her -- and when she realizes it’s for her, she explodes into a wheezy little tap dance of joy. Front paws shuffle. Her whole sturdy body wiggles. Snorts pop out like celebratory trumpets. You will laugh. You won’t be able to help it.Cinderella is seven years old and built like a velvet tank. When she leans into you, it's a full-body commitment. Sit down and she will climb aboard with intention, arrange herself carefully, and inform you -- gently but firmly -- that you are now furniture. Warm, beloved furniture. Soon she is asleep, snoring magnificently, punctuating her dreams with small, delighted snorts.Cinderella loves people with a kind of openhearted sincerity that catches you off guard. She does not play hard to get -- she plays impossible not to love.Because she spent so long navigating discomfort and limited vision, busy environments can still overwhelm her. She needs to be the only pet in a calm, predictable home. No dogs. No cats. Just her and her humans, discovering together how bright and vivid the world can be when it doesn’t hurt.If your idea of happily ever after includes devotion, fuzzy snuggles, and joyful little snorts, come meet Cinderella.Animal Aid Society is located at 80 Butler Farm Road in Hampton, VA. Visiting hours are from 9am to noon, including weekends and holidays.Interested? Come for a visit any day of the week - 365 days a year between 9am - 12pm.

Story
Meet Bobby!Bobby is a 3-year-old Bulldog mix with a comeback story that will absolutely steal your heart. When he first arrived at PRAS, he wasn’t in the best shape—but thanks to lots of love, patience, and care in his foster home, Bobby has made an incredible transformation. He’s now strong, lively, and ready to find the forever family he deserves.Bobby has been living with two other dogs, but he has made it clear that he would really prefer to be the only pet in the home. He doesn’t like sharing his prized possessions (food, toys, treats—you name it), and that can lead to some disagreements with other animals. What Bobby truly wants is a home where everything is his—especially your attention. He loves being the center of it!He’s not a fan of the kennel and can get anxious when confined, so Bobby would do best with someone who is home often or willing to continue working with him on building confidence and comfort when alone. He’s making great progress with potty training and continues to improve every single day.Bobby didn’t come from much, but his foster has poured so much time and love into him that he’s practically a whole new dog. With the right home—one filled with patience, understanding, and lots of affection—Bobby is going to absolutely thrive.If you’re looking for a loyal companion who just wants to love and be loved (without having to share), Bobby might be your perfect match.

Story
Even though Odie was abandoned by his previous family, he still loves people.  He gets along with other dogs and children.  He is high energy and hasn't learned to meet other dogs.  He can be a bit intimidating to other dogs.  His foster brother is a small 13 yr old rat terrier and Odie loves to sleep with him.  It takes a slow introduction for him to settle down.   If you want a hiking or camping buddy, Odie is your guy.  Playing fetch and tug are also favorite things that he likes.  He would love a family who would treat him like a family member.  .  He has already had his dental and is ready to start his new life as a family member.  If you are interested, please contact Rainbow Rescue at 757-472-1583 or rainbowanimalrescueva@gmail.comMarch 10, 2026, 12:08 am

Story
Meet Nipsey, a special little guy with a big heart. This staff favorite is looking for a calm, patient home with someone who understands dogs and will respect his boundaries. Nipsey has come a long way after a difficult past and is learning that he is safe, loved, and will always have a full belly.He loves long walks, cozy snuggles, treats, and flashing his adorable smile. Nipsey does resource guard his food and toys, so it’s very important to respect his boundaries and not try to take these items when he is near them. He would do best in a quiet home without young children, and any resident dogs should meet him first. He has done wonderfully in foster care and thrives in a home where he can feel secure. If you’re looking for a loyal companion, Nipsey just might be your perfect match.

Story
Nothing can get Haverly down. His whole body wags, his kisses are enthusiastic and thorough, and he greets every person like they might be his favorite.It’s a beautiful thing, but it also makes you wonder how he stayed this way.In 2022, Haverly was rescued by Chris Haverly, who saved and transported thousands of unwanted dogs and cats to safety in Southwest Virginia. Chris passed away in January, but his impact lives on in dogs like Haverly - dogs who wake up every day ready to love.After his rescue, Haverly was adopted and became a wonderful family dog - gentle with kids, great with other dogs, and with excellent house manners. Somewhere along the way, though, that life unraveled. Recently, he was picked up as a stray, wandering with no one looking for him.Now he’s back with us, still the same big, affectionate, happy dog, just with a new challenge. Two suspicious lumps on his leg turned out to be mast cell tumors.So, Haverly had surgery.And through all of it -- being lost, being found, the diagnosis, the recovery -- he has stayed exactly the same: soft, joyful, unshaken.Now healthy and lump-free, Haverly is ready to go home again.He was rescued by an angel. He survived abandonment and cancer for a reason.Maybe that reason is you?Come be inspired (and enthusiastically kissed) by Haverly 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.

Mandy is in a FOSTER home while she waits for her FOREVER home. Please email PRAS-FOSTER@NNVA.GOV if you`d like to meet her!Hi, I’m Mandy, a spayed Boxer mix with a big heart and so much love to give! I spend my days dreaming of long walks, fresh air, and finding my perfect forever home. I’m a friendly and outgoing girl once I get to know you. I can be a little shy at first, but with a little time and patience, I warm up and form a strong bond with my people. Once I feel comfortable, I’m incredibly loyal and love being close to those I trust.I’m not much of a toy enthusiast, but I really enjoy being outside—especially relaxing in the shade with a good stick. It’s my kind of perfect day.I’ve been living in a foster home with children and have done well with them, as long as everyone takes things at my pace. I do best with slow, positive introductions to new people so I can feel safe and comfortable.I’m looking for a home that will give me a little time to settle in and show my true self. In return, I’ll be a deeply devoted companion who will love you like no other.If you’d like to meet me, please email PRAS-FOSTER@NNVA.GOV.
