Story
Meet Sugar- a young pit bull (1 Year) sweet heart with a tragic tale. Me, and my mom rescued Sugar from strangers attempting to surrender her as a puppy to a local kill-shelter. Sugar is a wonderful dog, and got along with my families children and other dogs well initially. Problems began developing when my mom was diagnosed with Pancreatic Cancer last year. Sugar was my moms dog, and she was unable to provide sufficient care for Sugar whilst going through Chemo. Sugar shows some behavioral issues, she has mild food aggression/resource guarding issues towards other dogs. I firmly believe that with proper training and scheduled meal times, this problem could easily be mended. However, we no longer have the luxury of time to do such. My mom passed from her illness 3 months ago, my Dad now has to surrender my Moms dog. I desperately need a home for this pup, so she does not have to face a shelter. Sugar is fully healthy aside from a cherry eye- Id help pay for removal

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.
