My story

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

Phil is a 1.5 year old pittie mix, with the goofiest personality. He was originally adopted out as a puppy but a year later his owners dropped him off at a shelter saying they no longer wanted him. Luckily, we were contacted and able to bring him back into our care - he is now thriving  and ready to find his family!  Even though he had a rough start at life, he is still the happiest and sweetest boy. He LOVES kisses and snuggles, all you need to do in kneel down and he’s right there!
 
Some fun facts about Phil: 
 
•K nows sit, shake, easy, stay (this is a newer command that he is working to master) and down. 
 
•Walks great on a martingale collar, but even on a flat collar he does okay
 
•Phil is child friendly! He’s currently living with an infant in his foster home and doing great so he may do well with an infant that he can grow with, but not suggesting toddler right away. He has tested very well with toddlers but in the home, they may be too unpredictable for him right off the bat. He does amazing with older kids that understand boundaries (no hugging or sneaking up on him). 

•No cats/small animals 
 
•Phil is a high energy boy, who would love dog siblings that match his energy to play with! 
 
•Corrects well from other dogs 
 
•Prefers mental stimulation over walks 
 
•Needs help learning manners, his original adopters didn’t give him structure so he will need consistency and patience <3 He’s improved with his manners SO much the last few months !
 
•Crate trained
 
•He will do best in a single family home (no apartments), as he needs a yard to burn energy.
 
•Potty Trained
 
•Available for Foster-to-Adopt, and our Featured Fur Friend (adoption fee is only $50)

Additional adoption info

You are required to sign a legally binding contact on your new pet. As part of that contract, should you no longer be able to keep the animal for any reason, the animal MUST be surrendered back to SAAP. This is to ensure the animal is placed back in foster care while we secure a new approved home for the animal. However, we always try to ensure that the initial placement is best for the pet and your family. We reserve the right to refuse any adoption.

More about this rescue

We are an all-volunteer 501(c)3 non profit organization. We are dedicated to the rescue of animals that are in need of a forever home. Our animals are fostered in homes where we provide love, food, medical care and socialization until adoption into a new loving home. We educate on the importance of spaying and neutering of all pets.

We ensure all animals have been spayed or neutered prior to adoption. They are micro-chipped, up to date on shots and on heartworm and anti-flea medications (as age appropriate). They are ready and waiting to start their new life with their fur-ever family. Could that be you?

We need your help to continue our mission. We rely solely on donations and fundraisers. All donations are tax-deductible and 100% of your donation will go towards the rescue, care, and medical needs of the animals.

If you need info on a cat or kitten please contact 859-391-2944
For all other questions please call our main line: 859-391-1234
