Story
Atlas is just over a year old, born completely deaf! He's up to date on all shots and was just neutered a couple months ago. He is crate trained and knows "sit" and "come here" in ASL. He has lived with cats and dogs (and does currently) and has had no issues. We love Atlas, but unfortunately need to rehome him because we discovered that our cat is absolutely terrified of larger dogs. We tried to make it work, but our animals just aren't compatible. We feel awful, because Atlas hasn't done anything to make the cat scared of him. He NEEDS someone who has the time, money, and energy to train a deaf dog. The only issue we've had with him is that he is aggressive towards the vet. No one else at the vet's office, never other animals, just specifically the vet themself. He also sometimes freaks out if a stranger surprises him, due to being deaf. He comes with his vet paperwork, a heavy duty leash/harness, collar, crate, etc.

Story
MB is a good girl and around 8 years old. She is low energy and likes to snuggle. She is crate trained as this is her safe place from her previous life before reaching us. She gets along with everyone but is a food hog so separate feeding and scheduled feeding is necessary for her. MB does not require a lot of attention and is not needy. If you are interested we would like for her to have a sleepover maybe for the weekend and follow up to ensure she is comfortable in her new home.

(when grown) X-Large 101 lbs (46 kg) or more
Details
Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Eivor is playful and loves people, including strangers, he is very attached to his people. He adapts well to change and easily falls into a routine. He has always had a fenced in yard and "lives" with his people, our furniture is his furniture. He is allergic to fleas and has skin allergies, which he takes vitamins for. At about 1 year old, he became aggressive with our oldest male. We had him neutered, and kept them separated for a while, but no change in the interactions. He was fine with our other two males, until last year, in which he started attacking them as well. They have been separated since. When it comes to people though, he is the sweetest, most loving, and protective dog we have ever had. He has never been home without someone there, and isn't the biggest fan of the car.

Story
All AHHS animals are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up-to-date on vaccinations before adoption (if species appropriate). Application and counseling is required prior to all adoptions. Individuals interested in adopting a puppy are STRONGLY encouraged to download and read this FREE ebook. Even if you've raised puppies in the past, this is an invaluable resource to help make your new addition successful!   Who wouldn't want this giant teddy bear smiling at them forever? Meet Marnie. She is a 3-year-old Great Pyrenees that came to us from a rural shelter in NC. Marnie was found with her two puppies in a Dollar General parking lot, likely having been dumped there. Marnie's pups have since been adopted, but now she waits for her perfect person(s) to come along. She is the definition of a gentle giant. As you can see, lounging on the couch with her foster mom is one of her favorite activities. Marnie also loves going outside and playing with other dogs. She's approved for a home with other dogs, kids, and cats. Marnie is heartworm positive, though the Appalachian Highlands Humane Society agrees to cover her treatment at no cost to the adopter. If interested in providing the loving home that Marnie deserves, apply online at ahhumanesociety.org or email Halee@ahhumanesociety.org. Breed experience preferred but not required.December 18, 2024, 8:43 pm

Individuals interested in adopting a puppy are STRONGLY encouraged to download and read this FREE ebook. Even if you've raised puppies in the past, this is an invaluable resource to help make your new addition successful!   Why adopt this gal? Well, the reasons are endless but allow us to list a few: - She’s just a baby (meaning she’s young and trainable) - You’ll get to enjoy the bittersweet puppy phase; unless you’ve had a pup, you’ll learn there’s nothing more special!! - Kersten is a mountain feist mix and we don’t expect her to be very large when grown - She’s mastered the art of patience (she’s waited forrreeeeveerrrr in dog months for a forever home) - dog, cat, kid friendly Kersten’s estimated DOB is 10/28/24. Her adoption fee is $275 and includes all age-appropriate vaccines, deworming, microchip, and her future spay appointment! I am looking for a home in which I can become the best possible dog I can be! I know I've got it in me to make someone a fantastic furry family member, I just need to be given a chance. Please note that this is a mixed breed puppy.  There is no guarantee on breed or adult size.  This puppy is in a foster home.  Contact Halee for more information halee@ahhumanesociety.org You may complete an application at https://ahhumanesociety.org/dog-adoption-application/ January 10, 2025, 10:29 am
