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

Story
Sidney is very selective of her hooman and doggie friends.  She’s afraid of rain, thunderstorms and fireworks and will hide under a bed table or in the shower. She gets along well with the senior dog in our home and our Saap alum Kenzie.  She loves the cats and kittens in our home.  She’s not a good fit for small children.  She would do well in an adult home with a fenced area to run in.  She’s a champion snuggler and doesn’t comprehend personal space.   She is a very loving and loyal girl. April 16, 2025, 8:46 pm

Hey y’all..... remember this guy?? Nakoa is back with SAAP through no fault of his own and looking for new hoomans!!!?? Nakoa loves his people but is sometimes fearful of new things. he is not a huge fan of other dogs so he would like to have you all to himself. He is a sweet cuddle bug, loves to walk and loves to nap on the couch. Nakoa is 8 years old and weighs around 60-65lbs. He would probably do best with kids who are old enough to be respectful of dogs and know their boundaries! He is a very handsome, lovable boy who deserves the best Furever home?? If you are interested in meeting Nakoa please go to www.adoptastray.com and fill out an application. #adoptNakoaAugust 26, 2025, 1:13 pm

Hi! My name is Twiggy and I’m so excited that you’re reading my bio! I am a senior and I weigh fifty five pounds. I am a beagle boxer mix and I am the sweetest! I love to relax, it’s really my favorite thing to do and I’m super great at it. I spend a lot of time laying in my favorite chair. I am very low energy and I don’t really play. I do love walks when it’s not too hot. I also really like to go outside and check out the yard. I am housebroken and crate trained and I’m also really quiet. I like other dogs that are friendly and I don’t care about cats at all. November 4, 2024, 10:45 pm

Spayed or Neutered,
Story
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. November 13, 2025, 11:16 am
