Story
Our 8-year-old Australian Shepherd is a loyal, affectionate dog who loves being with her people. She would happily follow you from room to room all day and prefers being indoors with her family rather than outside alone. She is crate trained but would rather be with her people when they are home. She has been around children, including our 7-year-old, and has always been patient and tolerant. She will bark at strangers but has never been aggressive toward visitors. She would do best with a traditional fenced yard, as she does not enjoy an invisible fence. She is not aware of her size and can accidentally bump into people, so we do not recommend a home with frail or elderly individuals. She **must be the only pet** due to aggression toward other dogs and cats. We are looking for an experienced owner who wants a devoted companion and can give her the attention she loves.

Story
Jagger is a gorgeous almost 4 mo old puppy with crimpy fur.  He will be a large dog at 25 lbs at 15 weeks old.  He is tall and thin.  He is happy but hesitant of people.  He has not spent much time with people to learn their love.  He is learning being pet is good and loves treats.  He will need a patient adopter and maybe another dog in the home to teach him how to be a confident dog.  I am confident he will be a great companion.   September 24, 2026, 8:24 pm

Story
Kirk is an almost 4 mo old adorable buddy who will be a large dog.  He is 30 lbs at 15 weeks.  He has not have a lot of human interactions so a patient adopter is a must.  He is happy to see humans and loves to give kisses but is unsure of being pet and how close he should get.  He has made huge strides in the past 2 days.  I am confident he will be a wonderful companion.  He loves other dogs so a dog buddy would be helpful in building his confidence.   September 24, 2026, 8:24 pm

Story
Please welcome this sweet girl to SAAP! Like many of the pups that we rescue, Pippy has been through a lot!! Pippy came to SAAP with her eight - one week old babies. Shortly after her arrival, we discovered she had coccidia, Giardia, worms AND parvo.  This meant that she had to go for treatment and stay at the vet’s office while we tried to bottle feed the puppies. Sadly, all the pups passed away as they had been exposed to parvo as well.  Pippy managed to survive the parvo - only to find out that she was also heartworm positive. So, she began treatment for that too which requires 30 days of crate rest to keep the heart rate down.  After everything she has been through, Pippy is now healthy and ready to find her very deserving furever home!! Approximately 50 pounds  potty trained Very gentle and submissive  LOVES attention  Pippy is not dog aggressive but she seems nervous and scared when other dogs get close to her.  September 24, 2026, 8:24 pm
