Spayed or Neutered,
Story
She does love the yard. But walks on leash. Potties as soon as she hits the grass. Uses potty pads too. Sits up like a squirrel for attention. Flattens out and rolls over for belly rubs when you pick her up. Crate trained but does not need to be crated. Loves a snuggly dog bed. And would sleep with you under covers. Burrows like a mole. Loves her people when she gets to know you. Is fussy when dogs get in her face and when she is in your lap. Corrects easily. Leash up before opening door. She can be be speedy.January 20, 2026, 1:56 pm

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
Loki is very shy to the extent of being partially feral. After a long period of settling in, he may sit near you or sniff you, but does not want hands reaching towards him. He is coexisting with other dogs, but will grumble at them if they get too close. In foster care, he spends most of his time in his own space with a baby gate to keep others at bay. He will potty outside and enjoys chasing squirrels - a securely fenced yard is a must since he won't let anyone handle him. Loki will need an extremely patient adopter who will let him have time and space. January 20, 2026, 1:56 pm

Story
These little gals have been hanging out with us for a bit, and have gained so much confidence. They will still need some patience to help them continue growth after losing their home due to the human’s illness. Meet Bobbie (grey muzzle and white chest) and CC (tan eyebrows) BONDED 7 year olds less than 10lb female chihuahua mixes. THEY MUST BE ADOPTED TOGETHER. Both are potty pad trained but will use outside when weather is nice. Neither seem interested in using steps or Leashes so a ranch home with secure fenced yard is necessary. Bobbie is a stage 5 clinger and wants to be on you and in your face all the time. CC is a loner mostly but does have bouts of zoomies and needs a playmate (Bobbie doesn’t seem to meet her needs) CC does have some vision issues (she can see shapes and shadows) and uses her nose most of the time to figure out her environment. Bobbie is very outgoing and the braver of the two. She loves toys and antler and is very protective of them with others (CC ignores them) Both eat very well on wet food and dry food even snacking supplement. Bobbie will howl when displeased once and awhile and CC will join in with her barks (so definitely not apartment doggos) Neither really like our cat but they aren’t mean to her. These girls are awesome little companions looking to live out their next stage of life with lots of Love and snuggles! Apply today April 16, 2025, 10:26 am

Mitzi May came to SAAP as an owner surrender. It took her 5 days to acclimate, but now she’s become my loving shadow.  She’s only 11 lbs , so won’t be placed in a home with toddlers.     Mitzi May has the cutest personality! She literally talks to you for attention.     She is potty trained. Does well on pee pads, too.     Coexists well with dogs her size.    Cats unknown.  She’d love it if you were home more than not!

Story
Pistachio, goes by Pete, is an adorable guy who has overcome so much already! When he first arrived to SAAP, he was missing all the fur on his lower end due to fleas and neglect. Since arriving in his foster home, he has learned what the good life is! He does occasionally have some skin issues that flare up, but they don’t occur often (likely allergies).   Pistachio hasn’t been around cats but is great with dogs and kids! He loves to snuggle and be petted! He is a ‘Velcro’ dog and prefers to be with you, as when he isn’t, he can become anxious. He is house trained and specifically used to using a doggy door in his foster home to let himself out to potty. He loves to sleep in the bed with you or even your kids, and is also fine sleeping on the floor.March 18, 2025, 12:00 pm

Scrappy is a 2-year-old, 10 pound, Chinese Crested looking for a forever home. He loves kids and other small dogs. He's playful and rowdy and very cuddly. He wants a home where he can sleep next to his person to keep warm instead of in a crate. I should add that Scrappy is a bit barky. I have to hide balloons in the bedroom or he will alert the whole neighborhood of the danger. He doesn't like to be alone and will let the world around him know that every time.February 5, 2026, 10:19 pm

Story
Alfredo is an eleven year old Chinese Crested mix. He is absolutely adorable and so spunky. He loves to snuggle next to you on the couch, but still has plenty of energy to play and go on walks! He gets along with our little dogs and cat. He does fine in his crate and is potty trained if kept on a regular schedule. This sweet guy is missing all of his teeth and eats exclusively wet food. He also has a lot of fine fur that is easily matted so regular grooming should be expected. If Alfredo sounds like he could be your perfect companion, apply to adopt today!
