Hope's journey hasn't been an easy one.

Her puppies arrived at the shelter a day before she did. Thankfully, one of our rescue partners stepped up right away and placed them in a loving foster home, giving them the best possible start.

The very next day, a Good Samaritan was able to safely catch Hope and bring her to the shelter. Our rescue partner gladly welcomed her too, reuniting her with her babies while they were still too young to be without their mom.

When the puppies were finally old enough to be adopted, they all found rescue placement and began their new lives. Unfortunately, Hope's story took a different turn.

While in foster care, Hope tested positive for heartworms. Her puppies were transported north to find homes, but Hope had to stay behind. Since then, two promising adoption opportunities have also fallen through, leaving this incredibly sweet girl still waiting.

We don't blame the rescues that weren't able to take Hope. They already shoulder tremendous financial responsibilities, and while many do take heartworm-positive dogs, the cost of treating multiple dogs can quickly become overwhelming.

Despite everything she's been through, Hope hasn't let it dampen her spirit. She comes bounding out of her kennel with a wagging tail, ready to play and soak up every bit of attention she can get. She loves to chase toys, although bringing them back, not so much. She may get a little bouncy when she sees you holding a toy, but that's only because she can't wait for you to throw it.

Hope has passed all of her evaluations, including her dog-to-dog assessment, where she remained calm and neutral.

Because Hope is heartworm positive, her adoption fee has been waived to help offset the cost of her treatment. Even better, a generous supporter has sponsored her first six months of slow-kill heartworm treatment.

Hope watched every one of her puppies get the happy ending they deserved. Now it's her turn.

Come meet Hope between 12:00–4:00 Tuesday through Saturday or 12:00–7:00 Monday. She's ready to leave shelter life behind and find the loving home she's been waiting for.

🚨🚨🚨HIGHLAND IS STILL HERE 129 DAYS LATER!!!! 🚨🚨🚨
Highland is our longest resident and her time is becoming limited. Lots of families have taken her for doggy days out but no one wants to take her home 🙁

Highland has proven herself to be a wonderful companion! She rides well in the car, and greets new people with ease. She also does well with other dogs but would do best in a home without cats. While she's happy to explore new places, she has decided that splashing around in the water just isn't her thing.

Highland is heartworm positive, a condition that is preventable with routine heartworm prevention. Unfortunately, this diagnosis has likely contributed to her longer stay at the shelter. The good news is that a generous sponsor has stepped forward to cover the first six months of her slow-kill heartworm treatment, giving her future family one less thing to worry about.

Highland is ready to leave the shelter behind and start her next chapter with a family who will give her the love, care, and forever home she deserves.

**ON A TEST DRIVE**

Say hello to Dee Dee!

Dee Dee is a 4-year-old Chow mix weighing 31 pounds, making her on the smaller side for the breed.

She arrived at the shelter with her 3 month old puppy, who was reclaimed by their owner. Although the owner originally planned to take Dee Dee home as well, everything changed when she tested positive for heartworms. After learning about the cost of treatment, he made the difficult decision to surrender her so she could have the opportunity to receive the care she needs and find a new home.

Please don't let her heartworm diagnosis keep you from meeting this wonderful girl. Heartworms are treatable, and Dee Dee has so much love to give. She has a gentle, affectionate personality and simply wants to be close to her people. One of her favorite things is to walk up beside you, lean against your legs, and quietly soak up every bit of love and attention you're willing to give.

Dee Dee is ready for a fresh start with a family who will see past her diagnosis and love her for the sweet, loyal companion she is.

Dee Dee is fully vetted. She's spayed, microchipped, has a 1 year rabies vaccine, and as stated above is heartworm positive. Please stop by and meet this sweet girl!

Tuesday - Saturday 12-4PM
Mondays 12-7PM

Note: Because Dee Dee is heartworm positive, her adoption fee has been waived to help offset the cost of her treatment for her future family.

When you meet Dee Dee, be sure to ask whether her heartworm treatment has been sponsored. Our community is incredibly supportive, and from time to time, generous donors step forward to cover the cost of treatment for dogs like her.

Our kennels are getting full down here on Mack Lane.

We take animals once a week, sometimes twice a week to go get fixed so that we can put them up for adoption. With the vast amount of adoptable animals coming through right now our kennels are nearly full. Our rescue partners are doing their best to try to help lighten the load for us but there is also only so much they can do.

We will be running a deal today and tomorrow to try to make space for our new adoptable animals for next week.

All cats and dogs, no matter their age are at most $10. (Heartworm positive dogs are adopted out at no cost as the new owner will have to spend money to treat the heartworms. Some dogs have a 6 month sponsor for the beginning of their treatment for slow kill)

If you're adopting a cat please bring a carrier or a box to take them home in as we do not have any at this time for purchase.

12PM - 4PM

ATTENTION CSRA!!

There is a horrible predatory scam that cycles through our area every so often and unfortunately it is going around again.
The scam targets people who have posted to Facebook communities or Pawboost about a lost pet. The scammer will contact you and claim the dog is at AAS, badly injured, and will demand payment over the phone for medical treatment.

We do NOT do this!!

AAS does not accept payment over the phone and we do not accept Apple Pay, Venmo, PayPal, etc. Our only methods of payment are cash or credit card. Payments are only accepted in person at our shelter.

We may contact you if we believe a pet you have posted matches a pet we have at the shelter, but we will always ask you to come down to Mack Lane and visually identify your pet.
Please do not pay anyone claiming to be us over the phone. It is not us.

We hate seeing people who love their animals taken advantage of!!
