My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Remember Clifford the Big Red Dog?
Remember desperately wanting a buddy like that -- a loyal, affectionate, goofy companion who made every day a joyful adventure?
As a child I read the book, watched the cartoon (and as an adult, I saw the movie)... always a little jealous that Clifford wasn't mine!
Well, now Clifford the Big Red Dog can be YOURS!!!
He's here, at Animal Aid Society, waiting to fill a lucky person or family's home with love and laughter!
Our Clifford is a big red hound mix, about 3-years-old. He came to us from an overcrowded rural shelter.
At 60-pounds, he's SO skinny (so he's going to get bigger, and possibly redder as good nutrition makes his coat shiny). Clifford's weight tells us that he had a rough start, but you'd never know that after spending time with him! This gentle boy is happy, snuggly, soft, and just grateful for any friend who stops by! He loves toys, but even more than that, he loves laying at your feet and getting pets and rubs.
Clifford is underweight -- clearly, he didn't get enough to eat -- and while he really, really appreciates his meals (and treats!), he will still stop eating to snuggle and make sure his friends are nearby!
Our amazing medical team recently brought Clifford to the vet for his intake exam -- he was such a good boy in the car and at the vet's office! He is heartworm-positive, but Animal Aid pays for the treatment, even after you bring him home!
PLEASE come meet Clifford the Big Red Dog -- stop by Animal Aid Society between 9am and noon any day, including weekends & holidays. You can't miss him -- Clifford is, well, big, and he's sporting a pink puffy jacket to help keep him warm during this cold snap! He's waiting to fill your life with joy at 80 Butler Farm Road, Hampton, VA.
Interested? Come for a visit any day of the week - 365 days a year between 9am - 12pm. Hope to see you soon!

PLEASE NOTE: Animal Aid Society observes a 40 mile adoption radius to facilitate post adoption support and follow ups.

Additional adoption info

If all goes well and you decide to pursue adoption, you will be asked to complete a pre-adopt. 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.

Dogs qualify as a senior based on their stature/weight and age. The scale below shows the age at which a dog attains “senior” designation:

0-20 lbs: 11 years
21-50: 10 years
51-90: 8 years
91+: 7 years
