My Nonprofit Reviews

My first experience with SAAP was in 2004, as an adopter. I knew then, that I someday wanted to be involved in similar work. I was very impressed with the level of dedication and care shown by the volunteers throughout all of our interactions. In 2010, I was looking to adopt again. A lot of things had changed at SAAP since 2004. But I still found the same level of care and dedication in the volunteers.

It wasn't until the end of 2011, that I was able to get involved with this community (family) of wonderful people. I joined SAAP’s Facebook group and started fostering puppies. I volunteered to help the communications team by making adoption follow-up calls. And I was soon leaning how to help out at adoption events. Before I knew it, I was coordinating one of the NKY location adoption events.
Then life got extra busy and I had to scale back my involvement, but a position that allowed me to volunteer from home on a flexible schedule was soon available for me.

I became a SAAP volunteer because I wanted to make a small difference in the world. What I didn’t realize at that time was that SAAP would make a HUGE difference in my world.

SAAP has:
• Allowed me to make a difference and be part of something bigger than myself.
• Provided opportunities for me to learn and practice new skills.
• Taught me a lot about myself, community, belonging and family.
• Provided a positive organizational culture where individual’s differences, abilities and contributions are valued and appreciated.
