Thank you for your interest in adopting from SAAP!

Dog adoption applications are free to complete with no obligation to adopt. Applications can be submitted for a specific dog or can be submitted for general approval to adopt a dog from SAAP. Approval is valid for 6 months or one completed adoption, whichever comes first. Applicants must be 21 years or older to adopt. Most adoption applications are reviewed within approximately 72 hours, but landlord checks and other factors may lengthen the review timeline.

As a best fit rescue, SAAP is committed to ensuring a best fit match for adoptive families and animals. Once approved, our adoption coordinators will help schedule a meet and greet to ensure an animal is the right fit prior to adoption. While you may be approved to adopt an animal from SAAP, you may not be selected as the best fit applicant for the animal you are interested in. Please be patient and trust that we will help match you to your best fit family member!

Please note: We only adopt to residents of Ohio, Kentucky, and Indiana.
