Story
Dakota is a handsome name, kind of a "rugged" kind of name, right?? I am kind of a REFINED RUGGED kind of boy! For instance, I am a busy boy, I love playing and running with my doggy friends, however, I can lay at your feet very sweetly to beg for your attention. I am kind of like a "reverse" planter as well. I mean, you plant it and i will un-plant it for you :D I won't do it often, just when I want your attention and I am outside alone. So see?? you have great control over that urge! So I am a food and toy lover too, I eat out of a slow feeder bowl because wolfing down my food is not an option! I am learning all things toys and am actually learning how to bring the ball BACK after you throw it. I am a smart and very sweet boy. I do absolutely have a prey drive so no kitties for small furry mammals around me please. I am fully potty trained and great in a crate. Now i just need you to adopt me to complete my circle of life. Now, before you go all "Lion King" on me, just know that I will be your bestest buddy forever!! I am two VERY loyal breeds and once I know you are my family, you will have my unending love :) Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $450 (includes transport to your area)

Story
SAAP Nation, please welcome Walter!    Walter was surrendered to the shelter after living his life on a chain/in a pen. He then spent over 100 days at the shelter before coming to SAAP.   The shelter worker loved him so much, she cried when she found out he was going to rescue. He has been with us about a month recovering from teeth extractions, a skin infection, and an upper respiratory infection, but I am thrilled to report that he is now healthy and ready for adoption! He is close to 80 pounds and looks to be some type of husky mix.   Walt is a miracle dog to me - after spending his life outside, one would expect him to be unsocialized at best, unadoptable at worst...but this guy loves people. He loves toys. He loves the couch. HE LOVES FOOD. He will snuggle, he will be your shadow and follow you throughout the house. He has done well with my daughter, is not scared of men or strangers, does fine in the crate but absolutely can be left out, is housebroken, and loves to meander around the yard smelling the smells and taking on the sights.    He ignores our cat completely and has done well with the dogs here (with the exception of our very large 100% blind dog who mows down everyone in his path...he is NOT a fan of that. So Walt would need to be with dogs that respect his space and cues. If they do, they will get along swimmingly). He also sleeps with tongue out and has a mustache!!!!   Walt is so deserving of a loving family - apply to #AdoptWalter at www.adoptastray.com or reply to your approval email to meet him.January 27, 2026, 9:11 pm

Story
Meet Jinx! If you’re looking for a fun, spirited, and loyal adventure buddy — Jinx might just be your perfect match! This gorgeous 2–3-year-old Husky/Great Pyrenees mix weighs about 60 pounds and has all the best traits of both breeds: beauty, brains, and a whole lot of personality! Jinx is spayed, up to date on shots, heartworm negative, house trained, and walks well on a leash. She’s a high-energy girl who loves to play hard and run fast — sometimes so fast you’ll swear she’s part bunny with the way she hops and jumps! Because of her playful style, she’d do best in a home with a fenced yard where she has room to stretch her legs and burn off energy. Jinx gets along great with other dogs, though her enthusiasm can be a bit much for calmer or senior pups. When she’s in full play mode with another dog, she can get a little rambunctious and has accidentally knocked over a child who was in the middle of the action — so supervision and space during dog playtime is important. That said, Jinx is incredibly gentle, patient, and kind with children. She is currently living with toddler foster child who is still learning how to properly interact with animals. Even with his grabbing (which her caregivers are actively working to correct), Jinx has remained calm and tolerant. She truly has a sweet and forgiving nature with kids. She’s also good with cats, making her a great fit for many multi-pet homes. True to her Husky roots, Jinx loves to “talk” and share her thoughts in the most adorable ways. She’s sweet, loving, and full of life — just needs someone who can match her energy and give her the exercise and attention she deserves. Jinx can be shy or fearful around men, which suggests she may have had a rough experience in the past, but with patience and kindness, she warms up and shows what a wonderful dog she truly is. She’s not destructive — though she might sneak a chew on a toy when left alone — and she’s always ready to love and be loved. Jinx is ready to hop, play, and chat her way into your heart — could she be your new best friend? January 28, 2026, 10:30 am
