Rescue Spotlight: Stray Animal Adoption Program (SAAP)

It's time to highlight another great rescue that helps Boone County save so many more lives than we could do on our own. SAAP is a wonderful NKY-based rescue that pulls countless animals from local shelters, canines and felines. They are one of the organizations that always seems to come through for us when we need them the most. When we are totally and completely full, SAAP tried their best to help. I have personally helped them when they came to the shelter to pull 15+ dogs. To say that they help us is an understatement--there have been more than a few times when SAAP has absolutely saved us.

I asked some people from SAAP to send me some pictures and stories of animals they have saved. Check out the great work they are doing:

"Jazz's owner died. He spent 2 months with one rescue---then ended up with us...and spent another six weeks...and now the perfect family adopted him."

 Honey Boo Boo was in a terrible state when SAAP saved her...

...But she has since been adopted!!!

As you can see, SAAP does some incredible work. On a personal note, they saved the life of a dog I fell for at Boone County. Bertha is a Shar pei mix who came into our shelter growling and fearful. I soon discovered that treats could tame the "wild" beast, but I didn't know much about the breed. I posted on a forum of SAAP volunteers and asked for advice, because I knew they had rescued Shar Pei's before. The next thing I knew, they were volunteering to take her! She was put into a foster home and truly blossomed, with a great personality. I was so happy because I knew that no matter what I did, that probably would have been very difficult to accomplish in the shelter because she was so scared.

Bertha on the day she was adopted!
