MEET K9 AUTUMN
Meet Autumn.
A friendly face, a calming presence, and one very special member of the Sexual Assault Assistance Program team.
Autumn helps bring comfort, connection, and a little extra warmth to survivors, outreach events, and communities throughout our four-county service area.
PART OF THE SAAP TEAM
Sometimes support comes with four paws.
Reaching out for support can feel overwhelming. Having a calm and comforting presence nearby can sometimes make an unfamiliar environment feel a little less intimidating.
Autumn is part of SAAP’s efforts to create welcoming, supportive spaces while helping our community become more familiar with the services and resources available to survivors.
AUTUMN’S ROLE
Helping create moments of connection.
You may see Autumn alongside SAAP staff throughout our work and across the community.
Comfort
Autumn can provide a calm, friendly presence during moments that may feel stressful or unfamiliar.
Connection
Sometimes meeting Autumn opens the door to a conversation about SAAP, our services, and available support.
Outreach
Autumn may join SAAP at community events, resource fairs, awareness activities, and other outreach opportunities.
Community
She helps make SAAP approachable while giving community members another way to connect with our program.
A FAMILIAR FACE IN THE COMMUNITY
If SAAP is at an event, Autumn may not be far behind.
Community events give people a chance to learn about SAAP before they ever need our services.
Autumn has a way of drawing people over, starting conversations, and helping us introduce our program in a warm and approachable way.

There is more to Autumn than her job.
Professional Greeter
She is pretty good at getting people to stop by and say hello.
Loves People
Community events mean lots of new friends, attention, and opportunities to connect.
French Fry Fan
One of Autumn’s favorite treats? French fries.
Always Camera Ready
It is pretty hard to attend an event with Autumn without someone asking for a picture.
SUPPORT CAN LOOK DIFFERENT
Sometimes a quiet moment matters.
Everyone responds to difficult experiences differently. Some people want to talk. Some may need time. Others may simply appreciate having a calm presence nearby.
Autumn is one small part of the supportive, survivor-centered environment SAAP works to provide.
