Story
Let me introduce you to this 3 year old, 60lb, gorgeous pit mix named Prowl. Yes, from the Autobot litter born on 5/15/2022 at #MutzMaterutyWard. If you missed out back then, you now have a second chance! Through no fault of her own she is back with SAAP, however she did come back in a terrified condition. She will need a special adopter to understand and take things very slow and allow her to come out of her shell at her own pace. If she has a dog friend it will help her open up and show you some of her true colors. Once she is out of shell she is so much fun and truly enjoys being a dog and playing with her dog friends in the backyard. She has been with me for a year now and she now a confident dog around me and actually tries to push boundaries! She is still timid around new people but will approach them if she is being ignored or there is a treat involved. She truly wants to love and be loved, are you the patience and loving family for Prowl?    August 1, 2025, 3:28 pm

Story
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)    June 18, 2025, 4:05 pm

Story
She is a petite, lil Pittie at around 45 lbs Hilda is a long-time SAAP resident who is looking for her furever home!! Hilda is a loving girl who is an expert kisser and cuddler. She has never been around small kids so older kids to no kids would be best. Hilda can get anxious around other dogs and can be reactive so her best home would have her be your one and only doggo. She is learning to be able to be around other dogs and not react. She is learning it’s ok and she doesn’t have to be scared. She is always excited to meet new people but can be a bit quirky so it’s best to meet outside and meet slowly with treats so she knows she doesn’t have to protect anyone! It would also be great for her to be able to continue her training so she can be the best dog!! If she sounds like your perfect dog; fill out an application and we can schedule a meet and greet!October 28, 2025, 3:09 pm
