Apollo's Story

This is him!!!<br/>This is the dog you tell us you've been looking for!!<br/>House trained. Never destructive. Affectionate and snuggly without being clingy. The kind of dog who's always happy to be wherever you are, but perfectly content to spend the workday supervising the couch, his bed, or a strategically important sunbeam until you get home.<br/>Want to go for a hike? Apollo is in.<br/>Want to spend the afternoon watching TV while accomplishing absolutely nothing? Apollo is also in.<br/>Every time someone describes their dream dog, they're basically describing Apollo.<br/>Apollo genuinely likes being with people. Not in an overwhelming way. Not in a "must follow you into the shower to ensure your survival" way. He just enjoys your company. Sit down, and he'll happily join you. Get up, and he'll see what's going on. Have a bad day, and somehow this 40-pound hound mix will make it seem less important.<br/>Apollo is a healthy, neutered, 4-year-old with soft ears, excellent manners, and a level of emotional maturity that exceeds that of many adults currently posting on the internet.<br/>Because we know him so well, we also know what works best for him. Very young children make him uneasy - not aggressive, just overwhelmed - so no children under 5. And while he's friendly with other dogs out and about, he'd prefer to be your one-and-only at home.<br/>Apollo's just a really good dog who somehow keeps getting overlooked.<br/>Animal Aid Society is located at 80 Butler Farm Road in Hampton, VA. Visiting hours are daily from 9 a.m. to noon, including weekends and holidays.<br/>Interested? Come for a visit any day of the week - 365 days a year between 9am - 12pm. Hope to see you soon!<br/><br/>PLEASE NOTE: Animal Aid Society observes a 40 mile adoption radius to facilitate post adoption support and follow ups.

Animal Aid Society's Adoption Policy
We require an in-person meeting prior to processing an adoption application. If you think one of our dogs could be a good fit, come for a visit! If all goes well and you decide to pursue adoption, you may submit your adoption application. Once your family, including any dogs, have also met with the dog you wish to adopt, your application will be submitted to the Adoption Committee for review. We estimate the pre-adoption process can take up to 14 days or longer. PLEASE NOTE: AAS is committed to finding the best fit for each of our dogs. For this reason, we will accept multiple applications for a dog. In the case of multiple applications, we will select the applicant that is the best fit based on the needs of the dog. Adoption fee for puppy/adult dogs is $300.00. Adoption fee for senior dogs is $150.00. We prefer that adopters be located within 40 miles of the shelter to facilitate post adoption follow up.
