Matilda's Story

With every goodbye you learn.<br/>Two amazing, loving people had to say goodbye to Tilly (aka Matilda) and bring her back to us. They had taken her home as a foster-to-adopt and gone above and beyond to make it work with their two cats. Sadly, that was not to be.<br/>They got Tilly through her first of three heartworm treatments and helped her settle into home life. They learned her likes and dislikes and appreciated Tilly for the amazing girl that she is. They realized she didn't really respond to Matilda, but Tilly made her light up.<br/>We now also know that she loves to be sung to and can endlessly look at herself in the mirror. She continues to cross her front paws when laying down, which makes every heart melt. And she came back to us with an army of stuffed toys - all with the squeakers taken out because they scare her - and, most importantly, her very own Squishmallow.<br/>When I went to give Tilly her lunch today, she was curled up on her bed in her room, enjoying the A/C and surrounded by her stuffed friends. You almost couldn't see her because she was lying under her Squishmallow, but then her sweet head popped up.<br/>Tilly is 8-years-old and heartworm positive but nearing the end of her treatment, which is fully covered by AAS. And, wow, this girl has so much love to give, just not to cats or other dogs.<br/>We are beyond sad that Tilly doesn't enjoy cats and could not stay with two people who love her dearly. But, we are so grateful for all the new information we have about this extraordinary girl. <br/>Please come meet our Tilly - she is a sight to behold and will fully embrace you with love. Tilly and all of her friends are available to meet every single day form 9am-12pm at 80 Butler Farm Road in Hampton!<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.
