Polly
Age: 1 Year Old / Breed: Chihuahua / Sex: Female / Rescue: Louie's Legacy Animal Rescue
"Polly is a 1 year old 8 lb, female, Chihuahua thru and thru. She is friendly with other dogs, loves to play and keep busy. She is still a puppy in so many ways so she needs a owner to enforce boundaries or she can easily become possessive. She would love an owner that will walk her or a yard to play in. She would do best with older kids being so little. She is working really hard on potty training and with positive guidance she is catching on. Polly is full of energy providing tons of laughs and love. She is always ready to snuggle when time to wind down. Her adoption fee is $400.00."

Panache
Age: Senior / Breed: Domestic Long Hair / Sex: Female / Rescue: Stray Animal Adoption Program
"Panache is a beautiful, quiet, low energy senior cat who came to Saap after her owner passed away. She likes gentle petting and can food with gravy.

She does require brushing to keep her fur mat free but is sweet and low key!All SAAP animals are vet checked, UTD on vaccines, spayed/neutered, micro chipped, and given flea and heartworm preventative as age appropriate."

$Lucky Age: 5 Years / Breed: Treeing Walker Coonhound & Coonhound Mix / Sex: Male / Rescue: Furgotten Dog Rescue, Inc. "Lucky here! I was hit by a car and left for dead on the side of the road. A nice lady found and took me to the closest vet where they contemplated euthanasia. You see, my spine was fractured leaving me paralyzed from the waist down. Thankfully, this rescue gave me a second chance. I am happy to be alive and am perfectly capable of living a good quality life. I just need to find a family who is perfectly cable of caring for my special needs :) I am guessed to be a 5-year-old Treeing Walker Coonhound. I love the company of other dogs and walking in my cart! I also enjoy getting pet by everyone I meet. If you dont come to me, Im rolling my way to you. My bladder needs expressed every 6 hours, and I cannot control my bowels. If you cannot deal with diapers, pee, and poopy messes, I will not be a good fit for you. I had bilateral leg amputation surgery to remove my back legs since they were dead weight. More recent pics are me without legs :)." Photo: Furgotten Dog Rescue, Inc.$

Tuesday
Age: 5 Years / Breed: Papillon Mix / Sex: Female / Rescue: Little Hills of Kentucky Animal Rescue Inc.
"Tuesday is a 5 year old Papillion mix. She weighs 14 lbs. 7 oz. Tuesday does have some medical issues, but those dont hold her back from enjoying life to its fullest, and she has a ton of life left in her. She loves to play with other dogs, and adores cuddle time. She rewards her foster Mom with tons of kisses everyday. She loves to play outside, but prefers to be inside more and on a lap. She is crate trained, and goes potty outside and on her potty pads inside. Tuesdays favorite things are: chicken kabobs, squeaky toys, her people, and her fur friends. Tuesday would do best in a home where someone is home most of the time to show her all that love she needs to thrive. Tuesday will run lifting her back right leg due to what our specialist says is either an old injury or a congenital condition. Our specialist felt it was in Tuesdays best interest to leave her leg as is, and continue her on her pain regimen (Tramadol and Carprophen) and joint supplements. Tuesday also has a cataract in her right eye, our specialist does not recommend surgery for it and feels her eyesight is great in her other eye. She requires a fenced yard."

Bobby
Age: 2 Years / Breed: Australian Cattle Dog/Blue Heeler / Sex: Male / Rescue: Louies Legacy Animal Rescue
Introducing Bobby. He is a 2 year old Blue Heeler mix who weighs around 40 lbs. Bobby loves car rides, zoomies in the backyard and snuggle time. Bobby knows commands such as sit, stay and is potty trained. This sweet boy is great on a leash and loves to go for neighborhood walks. He does good in a crate but doesnt willingly go in, a little treat bribing always works! Bobby loves to play with his two foster sisters, 15 pound schnauzer mix and 110 pound Newfoundland. Due to his herding breed he can be nippy during play, be he is easily redirected. He would probably prosper best in a home with older kids. Bobby has been diagnosed with chronic Lyme disease. This means as he ages the signs and symptoms of lyme may show up and need treatment, but may never have signs or symptoms.

Mr. Stark
Age: 3 Years / Breed: Collie Mix / Sex: Male / Rescue: Louie's Legacy Animal Rescue
"Mr. Stark is a vibrant & engaging 3 year old Collie Mix about 50 lbs. He's highly intelligent and absolutely a cuddle bug just waiting to share his huge personality with his forever person/family. If Lassie had a cousin it would be Mr. Stark, always inquisitive and talkative. He is crate-trained, loves to run & play. He's fostered with several other dogs but should always be introduced slowly to new dogs just to allow time & space for new friends. He loves to try to outsmart his human so he would benefit from a dog savvy family willing to set boundaries and allow him to continue to build his confidence. He will make a great companion with the right family that will allow him space to acclimate to a new home with unconditional love & patience & in return he will love them back unconditionally with his sweet personality. Mr. Stark will keep you on your toes with his wittiness & outgoing personality! Mr. Stark's adoption fee is $250."

Arrivederci
Age: 5 Weeks / Breed: Labrador Retriever/Golden Retriever Mix / Sex: Male / Rescue: Louies Legacy Animal Rescue
These adorable little pups came into rescue at only 5 weeks old. They were riddled with worms, parasites and a tough ringworm infection! After a lot of love, care and medicine, they are now happy, healthy pups ready to say GOODBYE to rescue and HELLO to their forever homes!
These pups were born August 3rd, making them around 15 weeks of age. Their mom was reported to be a Labrador Retriever/Golden Retriever Mix but their father is unknown. Based on how different these puppies look, it's tough to even guess Dad's breed! Because we did not have mom or dad in rescue, we can not guarantee the puppies' breed, adult weight and size, but based on their current weights (12-15 pounds each) we would guess for them to grow to be medium size dogs. The Goodbye pups have been exposed to other dogs, cats and handled by children. They are happy and well socialized! Because their foster family was focused on getting them healthy, they are not potty trained and have not started obedience training, so they will be a clean slate for their future families!The Goodbye pups have been through a lot in their short lives, but now that they are healthy and happy, they are ready for their forever homes

Tulle
Age: Adult / Breed: Domestic Long Hair / Sex: Female / Rescue: OAR
Tulle's playfulness and sweet demeanor quickly charmed her foster mom, no to mention her adorable pink nose! She loves fabric wand toys, which she proudly drags around like a trophy once she 'catches' them. Tulle also LOVES crinkly packing paper! She will slide across it, hide underneath it, and play all day. Who needs an expensive toy when there are boxes and packing paper to play with? And this kitty has great paw-eye coordination. She'll even catch toys tossed to her! Tulle isn't a lap cat per se, but will lay next to you and enjoy pets or a relaxing grooming session. (Her secret favorite scratch spot is right between her shoulder blades.) To earn extra brownie points with Tulle, offer her some broth or gravy wet food. It is her absolute favorite, especially in turkey and chicken flavors.

Renaissance
Age: Adult / Breed: Pit Bull Terrier / Sex: Female / Rescue: Stray Animal Adoption Program
Renaissance (or 'Reni' as her friends call her) has given birth to her last litter of pups and is ready to reinvent herself! She is an enthusiastic player, preferring rough and tumble play with a dog her size, so her new best friend can keep up with her. She tends to have a bit of trouble making friends because not everyone wants to play with a wiggle butt body slamming into you, but when you have as much energy as this fun girl, thats the BEST way to play! Do you think that you (and your existing doggo, if you have one) are strong enough, both physically strong and strong willed, to be part of Reni's new family?

Scooby-Doo
Age: 4 Months / Breed: Hound / Sex: Male / Rescue: Stray Animal Adoption Program
We have a mystery on our hands that needs to be solved immediately!! It's quite a mystery that these two: Fred Jones and Scooby-Doo are still looking for their furever homes. Their siblings were adopted this past weekend and now it's Fred and Scooby's turn at the good life!! They appear to be hound/beagle mix. Both are males. I am estimating them to be 3-4 months old. Scooby-Doo was the runt of the litter so he is currently about 10 pounds while his brother is 15 pounds.

Rudy
Age: 8 Years Old / Breed: Chihuahua / Sex: Male / Rescue: Lucky Tales Rescue
Well, hello there! My name is Rudy. I'm a small guy who is roughly 8 years old and I'm not only housebroken but I'm crate trained, too. I love to eat and I also love to cuddle but I like to be the one who approaches others and I don't like being picked up. If you sit down, I'll jump right into your lap, though, so if you could please let me do things my own way, we'll get along great! I do well with other dogs but since I still have a bit of spunk, I'll chase cats (FYI - the cats I currently live with tolerate my occasional chase). Also, small children aren't for me and I really need to be with someone who has owned Chihuahuas and understands me and my kind.

Riggs
Age: 2 years / Breed: Domestic Short Hair / Sex: Male / Rescue: Crazy Cats Animal Rescue

Unfortunately my owner developed a medical condition so was unable to care for me. Eventually I was returned to the rescue and am currently living with my original foster mom/dad. As you can see, Im a big boy for my age. It might take me a little bit to get settled but once I do I'm very sweet, I love to sit on the couch and watch TV with you!

King Bernie Reginald III
Age: Senior / Breed: Labrador Retriever / Sex: Male / Rescue: Lucky Tales Rescue, Inc.
"Hi. Bernie here. I don't have a lot to say, really. As King, I believe in "live and let live". I'm far too distinguished to be noisy and excited and have limitless energy. I hereby decree - leave those youthful traits to the young! (that's King speak for I'm an old dog with old dog lumps and bumps and arthritis.) Ahem. Where was I? Oh ya, I'm a lab who is about 10 years old and weighs about 50 lbs. The luxury of an old dog like me is that I'm quiet. house trained, (unless you're gone a long time), calm, and I get along with other dogs and, bestill my heart, I *love* children. Heck, truth be told, I don't need a palace. Maybe I had an entire kingdom in my past, but right now, I just need a place to live out my golden years."
