River's Story

What kind of hug to do you like? Standing eye to eye or maybe a side hug? Or maybe like a bear hug?<br/>But here's the most important question - do you prefer your hugger to have two legs or four?<br/>River is the answer to any of those questions. He is the ultimate hugger. The best hugger. And almost like a serial hugger - it's his favorite thing to do!<br/>River was a stray - taken to Sussex and then brought to us. For as forlorn as he looked while at Sussex, we couldn't believe how he hit the ground running with his hugs. It was the best greeting we could have hoped for.<br/>It was determined at the vet that River is heartworm positive (and he has begun treatment, which is fully covered by AAS) so our hugs are a bit more gentle right now. But still just as plentiful.<br/>Hounds are an adoring breed - they adore you, no matter what. So if you like hugs, love to be appreciated and have room in your heart for some four-legged love, River is for you. Please, please come meet him! <br/>There will be a prolific hugger just waiting to greet you - any day from 9am-12pm!<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.
