Lucy's Story

A truck pulled up at the shelter with one very small crate in the back.<br/>We opened the door and - BOOM - we were seeing spots! Everywhere!<br/>Lucy and Bolt burst out like someone had fired a Dalmatian confetti cannon.<br/>Lucy's a 5-year-old female Dalmatian, and Bolt's a 2-year-old male. They arrived together, they are fabulous friends, and if you've ever thought, "You know what my life needs? TWO Dalmatians!" this is a remarkably efficient way to make that happen.<br/>They do NOT have to be adopted together and can absolutely go to separate homes.<br/>But you may want to consider two.<br/>Because these dogs are FUN... and they do a great job burning off each other's energy.<br/>They zip. They zoom. They bounce. They twirl. They ricochet around the yard. And just when you think they're finally tuckered out, you realize they were just warming up. Dalmatians are known for their playful energy, and Lucy and Bolt represent!<br/>They do have an off switch. Lucy and Bolt both love affection, snuggles, and being close to their people. You just have to get through the "LET'S DO SOMETHING!" portion of the day first.<br/>A fenced backyard would be ideal, because these two were made to run, play, and generally make a spectacle of themselves while you sit back and enjoy the show.<br/>Lucy and Bolt were owner-surrendered for the usual life-circumstance reasons. They were family dogs, lived with young children, and came to us with great house manners.<br/>So if you're looking for a smart, affectionate, active dog with enough personality to keep life interesting, come meet Lucy or Bolt.<br/>And if you're feeling ambitious, meet both.<br/>One Dalmatian is a burst of joy.<br/>Two is a small parade.Come celebrate at Animal Aid Society, 80 Butler Farm Road, Hampton, VA. Visiting hours are 9am to noon, daily, including weekends & 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.
