Firefly's Story

Firefly's world is dark.<br/>She cannot see.<br/>And yet, she radiates a light that reminds you to hope - a gentle glow you follow back to joy.<br/>Firefly is an 11-year-old Chihuahua who moves through life with quiet confidence and grace. According to our veterinarian, she has likely been blind for quite some time. You'd never know it watching her. She learns her way around quickly. She remembers where things are. She listens closely. "Up" means she's about to be picked up. "Touch" means cuddles - and that word makes her tiny tail whirl like a helicopter.<br/>She loves to explore. She loves walking in the grass, sniffing the new sniffs, figuring things out for herself. She loves a good meal and a warm lap at the end of the day. She doesn't complain. If she gets stuck in a corner, she makes the faintest mumble-grumble, then patiently works her way out. When she does, she pauses for a moment, looking quietly pleased, as if to say, "I've got this."<br/>Firefly was found walking down the middle of a road. A Good Samaritan brought her to safety. Her microchip told part of the story: her original owner had passed away, and she had been rehomed. How she ended up alone and in such rough shape, blind and toothless, we may never know. What we do know is that she was loved for most of her life. And she knows how to love back.<br/>And she knows how to eat. <br/>After "touch," her favorite word is "yummies." Firefly has a healthy appetite and a deep appreciation for comfort.<br/>Firefly adores other friendly pets, both dogs and cats. She thrives with gentle people who let her explore the world at her own pace, then welcome her back with soft hands and warm snuggles.<br/>Firefly doesn't need much.<br/>But she gives everything.<br/>She glows.<br/>If you're looking to start the New Year with something bright, steady, and quietly extraordinary, Firefly is ready to light your way.<br/>Firefly is IN FOSTER.<br/>To meet her, please call 757-865-0511 or email contact@animalaidsociety.org<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.
