Saia was purchased by her previous owner as a low content wolf dog. The owner could not keep her due to the fact that she lived in a historic part of St. Petersburg and the proper fencing for Saia was not allowed. She was then taken to her a friend of the owners and stayed there for a while until Saia started to escaped. During one of her adventures, Saia got hit by a car and dislocated her hip and had to have the ball of her femur removed. She now lives at SWS with her two companions Koda and Mia.
