Details
Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs special attention, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
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
Meet Storm! She came to us pregnant and with heartworms from a shelter in rural North Carolina. Since then, she's raised her puppies (who've all found homes), been spayed, and successfully treated for heartworms. Storm is a 3 years old, 48-pound American Bully who's incredibly sweet! She's currently in foster care with dogs of all sizes and is doing great. Storm also gets along well with kids, and we've introduced her to cats but she is a little to interested so NO cats. She's a bit cautious around men, preferring to stay away from them if she can (she finds comfort in her crate). If you're looking for a loving new family member, Storm is the perfect choice! Remember, adopting a dog means committing to them for life. If you're interested in adopting Storm, please don't call. Instead, fill out an online application on 4 Paws Animal Rescue's website at www.4pawz.org. We verify the care history of past and current pets to ensure the best homes for our animals. We reserve the right to approve or deny applications based on what's best for the pet. #dogsareworthit #adoptdontshop #bullymix #rescueisthebestbreed #lovedogs #dogs #dogsareacommittment

Story
Meet Hero! He was adopted but unfortunately returned. This special guy deserves another chance! Hero is a 3-year-old mix of American Pitbull and Beagle, weighing 39 lbs. He's the type of dog that gets along well with every other dog and truly thrives in their company. Hero also does well with cats and older, savvy children. He's a fan of running and has even participated in a 5k. Hero knows many commands and does best with regular training sessions. He's eager to please his humans and is already housebroken and, crate trained. Having been let down before, Hero will need some time to adjust to a new home and expectations. His new family must understand that Hero is a lifelong commitment, and they need to be dedicated to providing him with daily exercise, ongoing training, and socialization. Remember, adopting a dog means committing to them for life. If you're interested in adopting Hero, please don't call. Instead, complete an online application on 4 Paws Animal Rescue's website at www.4pawz.org. We carefully review the care history of past and current pets. Our goal is to find the very best homes for all our dogs and cats, so we reserve the right to approve or deny applications based on what's best for the pet. #lovedogsforever #pitmix #mixedbreed #rescuedisthebestbreed #dogs #dogsareacommittment #rescuedog #lovedogs #adopt #adoptdontshop #adoptme

Luna is a wonderful dog for a family with kids. She was rescued from an abusive owner and does not get along with other dogs due to this. She is very curious about other animals such as cats and squirrels. She is a very cuddly dog. Not aggressive, except to protect her owners. She think she’s a lapdog even though she’s almost too big to be a lap dog. She will sit on the couch with you for hours at a time and loves being outside.

Story
Sweet, Loving Dog in Need of a New Home Meet Gunna, a gentle and affectionate companion who has been a cherished part of our family since he was just a puppy. We welcomed him into our lives in August 2019, and he’s grown into a well-behaved, loyal dog who will follow you around like your own personal security guard. Gunna is six years old, and his sweet, shy nature makes him the perfect companion for anyone looking for a calm and loyal friend. He’s great with people, very loving, and always eager to be by your side. It breaks my heart to post this, but due to unforeseen circumstances, we are no longer able to keep Gunna in our household. I am hoping to find someone who will take him in and give him the same love and care that he’s had with us. If you or someone you know is willing to open their heart and home to a truly wonderful dog, please reach out. Gunna deserves a great place to call home, and I am confident that he’ll bring so much joy to anyone lucky enough to have him.

Story
Little Miss Coco may be on the smaller side, but she sure is full of personality! Coco came to us as a stray, so we don`t know about her history. She was shy when she first arrived, but it didn`t take her long to figure out who her new friends are! It may take a little time when you first meet her to pull at her heartstrings,and we`ve found that one of the fastest ways to get her to come out of her shell is a good game of fetch! Coco just loves toys!You know what else she loves? Going on walks with her friend, Cash! Walking next to her favorite shelter buddy makes her eyes light up! Coco really enjoys running around and wrestling with him, too. It does take a few strolls around the block for Coco to feel comfortable with other dogs, but we imagine she`ll be a good companion for another dog with slow introductions. We aren`t sure how Coco would do with cats at this time, and we do think she`d do best in a home with older kids due to her initial shy nature.Please give us a call to schedule an appointment to meet this precious girl, and we`ll answer any questions about Coco for you that we can!
