My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Everyone, please meet Gus Gus!

This handsome fellow was taken by animal control from terrible conditions, where he was being used as a bait dog, living at the end of a heavy chain that was so tight on his neck, it had to be cut off, and whose poor body was riddled with cuts, scars, scabs, and open wounds. The cruelty of people blows my mind and absolutely sickens me.

He has been with us for almost a week, and as one might expect, he came terrified of everything. Us, the dogs, the grass, neighbor kids outside playing, the TV, carpet...the list goes on. I don't think this guy has ever had another living creature be kind to him.

BUT...he's coming around more every day. His legs are healing. He's getting braver, no longer scared to eat and is gobbling up his food. He ventured onto the couch for the first time last night. Greets us with tail wags and joy in his face. Dogs are so resilient, it's a beautiful things to watch.

Gus Gus is a little underweight at 60 lbs, 1 year old, and is doing well with my resident dogs. He is scared but is doing well with us and my kids. He is so sweet and has not had any accidents in this house since his first night. He is on med hold while he finishes up meds for his wounds. He is neutered and microchipped.

Additional adoption info

You are required to sign a legally binding contact on your new pet. As part of that contract, should you no longer be able to keep the animal for any reason, the animal MUST be surrendered back to SAAP. This is to ensure the animal is placed back in foster care while we secure a new approved home for the animal. However, we always try to ensure that the initial placement is best for the pet and your family. We reserve the right to refuse any adoption.

More about this rescue

We are an all-volunteer 501(c)3 non profit organization. We are dedicated to the rescue of animals that are in need of a forever home. Our animals are fostered in homes where we provide love, food, medical care and socialization until adoption into a new loving home. We educate on the importance of spaying and neutering of all pets.

We ensure all animals have been spayed or neutered prior to adoption. They are micro-chipped, up to date on shots and on heartworm and anti-flea medications (as age appropriate). They are ready and waiting to start their new life with their fur-ever family. Could that be you?

We need your help to continue our mission. We rely solely on donations and fundraisers. All donations are tax-deductible and 100% of your donation will go towards the rescue, care, and medical needs of the animals.
