Story
Rhea is a beautiful girl looking for a foster or furever home. She was born around March 2022. She is e-collar and crate trained, and she loves to play. She came from a background of neglect, abuse and health issues; but has overcome all of it with proper care, socialization and training. She still needs patience because she is fearful of new people without slow introductions, but once she knows you- she worships you and loves on you so hard. She just needs to establish trust and a safe boundary first. Rhea would do best as a solo pet for now because she is still learning. Rhea's preferred adopter will be someone who can provide consistent structure, open to families with older children (14+) as she is strong and still learning. She is a healthy gal who is spayed, up to date on all her vaccines, and microchipped. Her foster is gifting all her gear to her furever home: crate, blankets, a cot, ecollar and remote, slow feeding bowl, harness and collar. If you are interested in meeting Rhea, please send a message here or email adopt@ahsem.org Adoption fees are as follows: $155 for a single cat or kitten, $195 for a pair of cats or kittens. When adopting a cat from AHSEM the adoption includes spay or neuter surgery, age appropriate core vaccines, microchipping, combo tested (for FIV/FeLV), and basic wellness care including deworming and flea treatment.

Meet Niles! This boy is a fun active guy looking for his forever family to find him. Niles and a group of his friends were saved from a very bad situation and he is quickly learning that people can be pretty cool. Niles would like to be an only dog for now as he has never lived in a home before and all his adventures with you will be brand new, but we know he can't wait for it to happen. This boy is ready for fun walks followed by awesome snuggles to netflix and chill. If you think this guy is your boy, be sure to fill out an app before someone else does!

Story
Meet Hattie! Hattie is as sweet as they come with quite a personality to go with her. She is excellent at supervising our shelter shifts and letting us know just when we aren't moving fast enough (we see her in some sort of management position in her new home, maybe Head of Squirrel Security for example). Hattie really loves her time out and is happy to play and be with people. She is very ready to move on from shelter life and into a cozy home with a family that will love her for the rest of her life. She recently went on a field trip and was great in the car and walked very well on the leash. Hattie did not come from gentle beginnings and has never lived in a real home before so everything for her will be new. The best family for her would be able to have patience as she learns all the great things that life has to offer that she never got to experience before. Seeing her discover things for the first time is sure to melt your heart. She is a very gentle and fun girl and may be great around older kids. Right now we believe she would be best as the only dog in a home without cats for her to be the most successful. If this sounds like you, please fill out an application, Hattie is waiting!

Meet beautiful Alicia. Alicia is as sweet as can be and ready to find her people. She is so happy when she gets to come out of her kennel and just soaks up all the pets she can. She came from a pretty bad situation but she is quickly learning all the fun and great things she was missing. She loves to play but would be a good contender for some Netflix and chill. She is great on a leash and in the car. She is on the smaller side so would fit perfectly in any couch spot you gave her, or lap, if you prefer. Because she lives in a shelter she will need help learning all the house stuff like where to potty, what comfy things she can lay on...you get the idea, but she is so excited to learn and the shelter is happy to help as well so you are set up properly! Small kids and cats are unknown and slow introduction with other dogs would be required. If you are interested in meeting our girl, please be sure to fill out an application for her.

Hey guys! Do you remember Happy Days? I'm Potsie. Not quite as cool as the Fonz but I am still a super fun guy. I am a bit on the quieter side but so happy when I get out of my kennel and get to run around and get the pets. I am definitely interested in having a family that wants to watch movies with me when we aren't going on all the awesome adventures I've been missing. If you think you want to hang out with me forever, please fill out an application for me.

Meet Vega!!! Vega came to us when she was found abandoned in Detroit with her 7 siblings. Found malnourished and horrible living conditions we swooped them up to safety and the rest is history.

What we know about Gus: Great with dogs Great with kids (has lived with kids and another dog previously) Awesome temperament Calm, great on a leash About 2 years old Potty trained Crate trained Loves snuggles Gus is located in East, TN. But if you are seeing this on adopt-a-pet, transport fees are included in the adoption fee. Out of state adopters are welcomed. Transport is available to your area in the NorthEast or Great Lakes area. We use the most animal friendly transport on the road (Rescue Riders Transport)! What we know about Gus: Dog Friendly Kid Friendly Has lived with kids and another dog previously Awesome temperament NO cats Calm, great on a leash About 2 years old Potty trained Crate trained Loves snuggles Gus came to us extremely underweight, nearly bald, with open wounds all over his body due to Demodex mange. He has since recovered fully and is ready to find his forever family! Gus was far too interested in the cats when we cat tested him as his herding instincts are present with these types of animals. However, he is great with other dogs and we use him to help introduce new dogs to the rescue. He also does fantastic with the 3 year old human on the rescue property! Gus has gone out on multiple Doggie Day Outs and did so well each time! He was his happiest self at the dog park with his rescue buddy (Folly) who has since been adopted. He likes to meet new people and go for car rides! We think he could be a heeler mix because of the speckles but we truly still don’t have a great idea about breed. The regrowth of hair didn’t help us with this as much as we thought it would 😂 Note: Since Gus has a history of Demodex mange, this means he is genetically predisposed to this condition if he does not take flea/tick prevention regularly. He is currently on Simparica Trio and doing so well. Please let us know if you have any questions about this condition!

Story
This boy was dumped off at an auction place by his owners. Apparently their new landlord wouldn’t let him stay and that was their solution. He waited for them but was caught by a volunteer's house and brought in. He is a sweet, sweet boy who was definitely cared for. We’re positive he is housetrained and does well on a leash. He does well around other dogs his size, have not put him with smaller dogs. We aren’t sure about cats but know he can learn those manners. He loves to be around people, does well with kids and would love to go on any adventure with his new family. He would do best in a yard to get some energy out but it doesn't have to be too big…. just something he can walk around in but extra walks or dog park would do best for him. He is just a big lover who was let down by one family and is hoping for a second chance with a new one. Hank is being fostered in TN at this time but no worries because we use the most animal-friendly transport on the road. Rescue Riders Pet Transport. They transport every weekend alternating between the Northeast and the Midwest.
