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. March 7, 2026, 3:29 pm

Story
Are you looking for a protective cuddle bug of a dog?!  Then you’d love Diesel! He’s a big laid back teddy bear who loves to snuggle. Diesel is crate trained, potty trained, and not to mention super smart! He can sit, give paw, and is looking forward to learning new tricks from his forever family! Diesel doesn’t realize his size and doesn’t understand to go easy on small dogs when playing so it’s best he’s in a home with dogs his own size (with slow intros) or no other pets. But the good news is, this young fella is AMAZING with kids and loves to spend his time with little ones. Put in an application today to adopt this sweetheart into your home!September 3, 2026, 11:40 pm

Story
Violette's story is one of resilience, and her glow-up is nothing short of amazing! With before-and-after photos, you'll see just how far this little lady has come. Meet Violette!  At just 3 months old, Violette is proof that a little love and care can work wonders. She arrived at SAAP with her siblings, Mac and Chee, suffering from mange and in need of some TLC. Fast forward to today, and this beautiful girl is absolutely thriving! Her coat is growing in beautifully, her confidence is soaring, and she's blossomed into the happy, healthy puppy she was always meant to be. Violette has never met a stranger. Everyone she encounters is immediately her new best friend! She's a playful, goofy puppy who loves toys, adventures, and making people laugh with her signature bunny-bronco hop that sends her bouncing across the room like she's got springs on her paws. When playtime is over, Violette transforms into a champion cuddler. She loves curling up close for snuggles and is happiest when she's soaking up affection from her favorite humans. If you're looking for a puppy who can make you laugh, keep you entertained, and then melt into your lap for a nap, Violette may be your perfect match. Her journey from mange-covered pup to gorgeous little princess is inspiring, but her sweet personality is what truly shines.September 3, 2026, 11:40 pm

Story
Wilma is a quiet couch potato who loves to be near people. She is usually gentle with kids but does sometimes turn into a wrecking ball when overly excited. Wilma’s favorite activity is receiving belly rubs. She has a silly, playful side that begins to show once she settles into a home. She likes short walks, but will sit down and refuse to move if you take her too far. Wilma will need a home without other pets. She coexists just fine out and about but does not do well sharing her home with other animals. She is crate trained but does not need one and prefers to nap on a bed or couch while you are gone. Wilma is an absolute favorite around here, and we can't waIt to see her find a wonderful family of her very own!September 3, 2026, 11:40 pm

Story
Meet  Mopup— knows "Laney” from the adorable Cleaning Crew litter! She is now 6 years old.  True to her original name, this sweet girl is excellent at mopping up love, attention, and every cozy spot on the couch. Laney is a smart, loyal, and affectionate companion who absolutely thrives when she’s with her people. She loves spending time with humans, whether that means relaxing at home, showing off her impressive command skills, or keeping watch over the yard like the devoted little protector she believes she is. She already knows commands like sit, stay, place, and more — it’s clear she had wonderful training early on and enjoys having structure and guidance. Laney’s journey has had a few bumps along the way. She was previously adopted by someone who sadly had to surrender her due to health issues, and because much of her early socialization happened during COVID, she didn’t get the opportunity to build confidence around other dogs and unfamiliar visitors. While she can coexist with some dogs for periods of time, overstimulating situations or high-energy dogs can make her feel anxious and defensive. Her foster family even hoped she could stay permanently because they already have her sister from the same litter — Cleanuroom, now called Leia! Although the sisters share many of the same wonderful qualities and are both loving dogs, they simply do not enjoy sharing space long term. Laney tends to tolerate calmer male dogs better, but rambunctious or overly energetic dogs are not her style. Because of this, she would truly thrive as the only pet in the home where she can fully relax and enjoy being the center of attention. She can also be timid around unfamiliar men in her home, though once she feels safe, her sweet personality begins to emerge. Outside the home she does much better and has already made great progress warming up to trusted people — including her foster dad! Laney simply needs patient humans who understand that trust is earned, and once you earn hers, you’ll have an incredibly devoted companion. This girl is crate trained, house trained, and appreciates a predictable routine. She currently takes anxiety medication, which helps her feel more comfortable and confident. Like many sensitive pups, thunderstorms and fireworks are not her favorite, but Laney has developed her own hilarious coping strategy: she proudly patrols the fence line “barking the thunder away” as if she alone is protecting the neighborhood from the storm. Honestly, it’s pretty adorable. Laney would do best in a calmer home with adults or teenagers who can respect her space and continue building her confidence. She’s playful, goofy, incredibly intelligent, and has so much love to give. Without the stress of other animals around, her fun and affectionate personality truly blossoms. If you’re looking for a loyal best friend, a built-in thunderstorm security patrol officer, and a dog who will adore being by your side, Laney may just be your perfect match.    September 3, 2026, 11:40 pm

Story
Hi! I’m Kylie, your future best friend and professional heart-stealer. I’m a classic Old English Bulldog girl—full of personality, a little goofy, and always ready to make you smile. I’ve got the important stuff down: I’m house trained, potty trained, and kennel trained (pretty impressive, right?). I love my routine, especially when it includes food—mealtime is basically my favorite event of the day! Treats? Don’t even get me started… I get SO excited. I’m happiest just being near my person. Whether you’re working, relaxing on the couch, or doing your thing around the house, I’ll be right there—either watching you with my sweet little face, chewing on my favorite bone, or getting cozy with my bed or pillow (I might even carry it around so I’m comfy wherever I go!). When I’m happy (which is often), my whole body gets involved—especially my wiggly little butt. It’s kind of my signature move. I’m not much of a barker, and I do really well with people. I prefer slow introductions with smaller, calm dogs, but honestly, I’d be totally content being your one and only. I really shine in a home where I can soak up all your love. If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will make you laugh, melt your heart with one look, and always be by your side—I’m your girl. Local adoption fee is $300(in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $550 (includes transport to your area)
