My story

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

Bellatrix is a sweet, affectionate, well mannered girl who loves bones and squeaky toys. She’s about 60lbs and is a slim, tall dog. Bellatrix is good with older kids; we expect she’d be fine with younger kids too, but she hasn’t ever met any to say for certain. She walks well on leash and rides politely in cars. This girl is a volunteer favorite!

 

She will likely need a home with no other pets. Bellatrix came to SAAP in 2020 as a mama dog with her puppies. At that time, she got along with calm dogs in foster care, but she has lived as an only pet for the past 5 years and is no longer used to being around other animals. She will chase cats.

 

Bellatrix is available for foster-to-adopt, so if you have a very calm dog, you could inquire about fostering her and try doing slow introductions to see if she could adapt to a new dog friend given some time. SAAP is happy to provide support and advice should you go this route.

 

Bellatrix is house trained, spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and up to date on flea/heartworm prevention. She was crate trained in the past (preferred a plastic airline crate) but has not used one in recent years.

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
