Promise

Promise came to us from our amazing friends at SWAG, who found themselves with too little space and too many lost, abandoned, and court-seized dogs. That's the sad math of overcrowded, underfunded rural shelters: more dogs than kennels, more need than resources, and never enough room for all the lives worth saving.<br/>But sometimes, if enough people work together, the math comes out a little happier.<br/>Promise is a 2-year-old hound who appears to have been assembled from ice cream, butterflies, and your softest blanket. She's gentle, silly, curious, and absolutely enchanted by other dogs.<br/>With humans, Promise has officially graduated from the "drive-by boop and retreat" phase of affection and advanced to the "lean against you and gaze adoringly into your soul" phase. We consider this excellent progress. She's learning that people can be safe, laps have possibilities, and affection does not require an emergency exit strategy.<br/>She's a light, lovely little soul, and watching her confidence grow is pretty special.<br/>Promise loves other dogs. She loves people, too - just with a little more thoughtful courage. And she is determined to make the absolute most of the second chance she's been given.<br/>Please spread the word and help set this amazing girl on the road to her happily ever after! Promise would love to meet you 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.
