I got Cristo from my neighbor who had a litter of 7. Cristo has a twin sister. He was born on Thanksgiving Day. He is very easy going and likes to just lay in his bed or the kennel after he eats. He does have a lot of energy once he is outside, running in circles and chewing on sticks.

Story
Finn is available to meet qualified applicants BY APPOINTMENT ONLY.Please email contact@animalaidsociety.org for more information.Finian was found wandering the streets of Hampton on March 16th, his back leg injured and his head, face, eyes, and mouth burned with acid. This poor boy was left to fend for himself. Luckily, the amazing people who found him were able to get him to The COVE (Center Of Veterinary Expertise) for care and comfort that first night, then he went to stay with our friends at Peninsula Regional Animal Shelter for a few days, and now he's with us. We may never know who did this to Finn, but we do know that even though he's been through a lot... the only time he cries is when he's left alone. Over the past few months, Finn's face has healed, his vision has improved (but will never be great), and he underwent very intricate orthopedic surgery to repair his back leg. Finn desperately wants to be with people, but, he's never really had a chance to be a "normal" dog with loving humans. He's still learning. Sometimes he's fearful, sometimes he's over-excited and mouthy, and sometimes he's a calm snuggly dude. Finn will only be considered for adoption to a home with no children (nobody under the age of 18), and no other pets. He needs an experienced person to help him take his next steps towards recovery.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.

Story
Squiggly is currently in a foster home. If you are interested in meeting with him, please visit PRAS-FOSTER@NNVA.GOV.I AM A `PICK ME PET`!What is a PICK ME PET? PICK ME PETS are pets that Friends of Peninsula Regional Animal Shelter sponsor to aid in their adoption! This program was created to help highlight animals that have been overlooked during their shelter stay. Pick Me Pets are `Diamonds in the Ruff`Pick Me Pets are chosen by board members who commit to spending lots of time with these animals! This helps us share their story to find the best match possible. Our Pick Me Pets spend weekly time with volunteers and enjoy an offsite adventure at least once a month. All adoption fees are SPONSORED thanks to generous supporters of Friends of Peninsula Regional Animal Shelter!Squiggs went on 2 ExPAWditions! Let`s read all about them:(11/4/24)What a great expawdition Squiggly and I shared at Sandy Bottom Park in Hampton. I picked-up my charge from PRAS and started our morning`s adventure with a backpack full of dog treats and water. Squiggs thoroughly enjoyed his 15-minute car ride...he sat quietly in the backseat and was so attentive to the activities going on outside. Squiggs was eager to start our walk along the hiking trails. He`s a very curious pup and enjoyed sniffing and pawing at leaves and a haybale we came across on the trail. Squiggs and I stopped at several spots along the way for a snack and water break and to enjoy the beautiful trees and lake. Squiggs always put on his best behavior when he walked past other dogs also enjoying their day in the sun...Squiggs didn`t carry on, he just buffed his hello and kept focused on his walk. Squirrels are Squiggs` passion. He was so alert as he watched those critters scamper across the trail and up the trees, but Squiggs never lost his composure. He enjoyed walking around in the Park`s Nature Center and was so polite to the other patrons. He was always on his best behavior, no matter what we were doing. Afterwards, Squiggs and I enjoyed some Chik-Fil-A nuggets and ice-cream...those are evidently his favorite cuisine. However, throughout our trip, Squiggs took each treat (milkbones, Pupperoni, nuggets) very gently from my fingers to enjoy it...such a gentleman. Squiggs is such an AWESOME `pup.` He thoroughly enjoys walks and makes a great and affectionate companion and friend. He loves being scratched behind his ears. Squiggs is a natural for a fa

Hi, I`m Athena the Beautiful. Despite my young age, I`ve got a heart full of love and loyalty. I`m a bit shy at first, but once I get to know you, I`ll be your most faithful friend. I`m pretty smart too, I`ve learned to be independent in this big world. I`m gentle and mellow, preferring a quiet cuddle over a noisy game. Other dogs? They`re okay by me, I`m friendly to everyone I meet. I`m not just a pet, I`m a companion, a confidante, a friend. Adopting me means gaining a loyal friend who will always be there for you.
