πŸ“£ SEEKING FOSTER! πŸ“£

These two girls are needing a different foster!

Unfortunately they are distrustful of older folks, which is making their current foster placement difficult. We would love to see them in a more comfortable, young family setting while they go for their vetting. Foster-to-adopt would be awesome too.

If you live in the Guthrie/Edmond/Langston area and are open to fostering one or both mini aussies, please send us a message. Both are young adult females, 20-30lbs. Good with other animals. Fenced yard or leahsed walks required.

Ariel is looking for a home! 😻

If you've been keeping up with our updates on this pretty girl, you know she has successfully completed all her FIP treatment! πŸ₯³ She's been in observation for a couple months now, with no relapse πŸŽ‰ So she's finally considered adoptable! She is blind in one eye as a result of the FIP, but thankfully, our vet has assured us that there is no need for it to come out. πŸ’ž

Ariel is 4 years old, spayed, vaccinated, and even recently had a dental. She's a very outgoing, snuggly and chatty girl- typical for most Siamese. Her favorite toys are little plush ones she can carry around in her mouth, while yelling, just so she's sure you saw that she 'caught' it. πŸ˜‚ Ariel is fantastic with kids, and gets along with with other confident cats. She CAN be a bully to shy cats, so another kitty who matches her bossy energy would be best if the home already has a cat. Dogs are hit and miss- small dogs definitely more favorable, so long as they understand she rules the roost, and your lap. πŸ˜ŒπŸ‘‘βœ¨Princess material, for sure!

If you'd like to adopt this silly, sassy, snuggly Siamese, you can send us a message, or you can fill out an adoption application for Ariel, linked below this post. 🐾

We've had an awesome weekend for adoptions! πŸ₯³

Venus went home with a great family at our weekly Saturday Petsmart Adoption Event πŸ’• She came to us from OKCAW's euthlist, and now she gets to be spoiled rotten, with all the cuddles she could ever want! Lucky dog!!

Monk, Romeo and Googly Eyes found love this weekend too! πŸ₯° We love when folks pay our older cats attention, and Romeo is even a senior! 😍

Happy tails, everyone!! 🐾

🍽 PET FOOD DONATIONS πŸ–πŸ

August had some very high vet bills for us, and needless to say, the funds for September's food restock are VERY LOW. 😬 10 spays, and 11 neuters means less unwanted animals being born, but oh my goodness... that was not cheap! πŸ™ƒ

We could really use some help with feeding the bunch of critters who haven't found homes yet! πŸ’š
We are very low on:

Purina Dog Chow Kibble (red bag - cheapest at Sams Club!)
Purina Cat Chow Naturals Kibble
Purina ONE Kitten Kibble
Friskies Cans (pate, and shreds options for picky cats!)

😻 Our Amazon wishlist will be linked in the comments for facebook algorithm reasons πŸ˜… But if you're able to drop any food items off in person, please send us a message to be forwarded the rescue's main address! This makes it easy on our foster families too, who can come by and pick up their monthly supplies all at once.

🐢 Some donations can be left with Veterinary Corner - just clearly label it, speak to front desk, and give us a heads up to go fetch!πŸ˜†

Thank you, Rescue Family!! πŸ’• We love you!

Next week, our X-Men litter will be seeing the vet for their rabies vaccines! πŸ’• That means that very soon, these adorable, adventurous little tuxedo kids will be ready to find homes. πŸ₯°

Mystique and Professor X went for their first car ride yesterday, and their foster mom reports they both did very well. Mystique (pink) acted like wearing a harness and going for a trip was business as usual πŸ˜† While the Professor (green) had lots to say about the whole thing, he didn't hide, and had no problem walking around the yard on his harness. He just wanted to share his opinions.

While these siblings don't have to go home with each other specifically, we really encourage folks thinking about adopting a kitten to instead think about adopting TWO kittens... πŸ˜… Because we promise you'll love them a lot more at night if they have a friend to hassle, rather than you! 🀣

Soon, the X Men litter will get their Adoptable Photoshoots, and we can start accepting applications. Until then, it's nice to be able to share their cute harness training update pics. πŸ’ž

Snow came to us a couple weeks ago when her life was in danger. She'd been chasing livestock, and snagged herself a few extra fresh chicken nuggets. 😬 Multiple farmers had threatened to shoot the next white stray dog they saw, so despite being so over our limit, we reluctantly said yes.

And it's a good thing we did, because Snow was pregnant.

Over 18,000 animals are euthanized each year in Oklahoma. Approximately 1 in 4 dogs that enter a municipal shelter in Oklahoma do not make it out. When looking at the numbers, the breeds most likely to be euthanized are pitbulls and pit mixes. Adults, puppies, newborns.... it doesn't matter. πŸ˜” There's simply not enough space, and not enough adopters.

So we will not be having a puppy shower, or a pregnancy photoshoot for Snow. Instead, we will be celebrating HER life, because she is here with us, safe and alive. She gets to be the big, gentle puppy who can have ALL the treats and soft beds! πŸ₯° Because yesterday, at only 5 weeks along, Snow was spayed. Our vet told us it would have been 12 puppies. Now, 12 other dogs, already in this world, already alive and desperate for a home, will get their chance instead. πŸ’ž

Snow is a 3 year old Pit Mix. She is spayed, vaccinated, and micrchipped. She does well with a doggy door, and gets along great with other dogs of all shapes and sizes. She's a very gentle soul in the rescue, knows Sit, and isn't a barker at all. We think older kids who aren't loud and rowdy, would be a great fit for this pretty girl. πŸ˜…Her new home just can't be one with any livestock. πŸ₯πŸ”

In just a couple weeks, Snow will be healed and ready for a home. If you'd like to meet her, please send us a message so we can arrange a play date! 🐾

Harmony is looking for a home! 🐢

This beautiful Lab/Pit girl was saved from OKCAW's euthlist, where she had been surrendered for jumping fences. We're not sure how true that is, because not once has she tried to jump one of ours! She's been a very good girl πŸ˜‡ and gives some of the best smiles.

Harmony is 2 years old, spayed, vaccinated, and after several months of long (and expensive) heartworm treatment, she is FINALLY heartworm negative!! πŸ₯³πŸŽ‰ We are over the moon with today's news for her! When Harmony first arrived and tested positive, we attempted to treat right away, but her body had other plans, and had a severe reaction instead πŸ™ƒ So our vet had to get a little creative with also treating the reaction at the same time that we did the heartworm treatment. Thankfully, now she is ready to live the rest of her life on regular preventatives. πŸ’ž

Canine company is ideal with this sweetheart- Harmony even gets along with some of our more rowdy dogs, like Cooper! She's all smiles and kisses with children too! Cats are iffy- probably not. Chickens are a big nope 🚫 She's a bit too much of a chicken nugget fan.πŸ˜… Harmony has done great with leash training, and is 100% house trained (but loves her doggy door).

If you'd like to meet her, you can fill out an adoption application to begin arranging a play date. 🐾 We'd also love to see her go for a sleepover weekend!

Paris is looking for a home! 🐢

This sweet scruffy pup is a 4 month old Pitbull/Poodle mix! She's spayed, vaccinated and microchipped- totally ready for a loving family to take her home for a snuggle.

Paris is a spunky little girl, but tends to be a little shy at first. As soon as you initiate butt scratches and cuddles, you've already won her over πŸ˜‚ She loves to cuddle and give kisses, she just needs to know you're game for them first! Other dogs, kids, and cats, are all friends she's just not met yet πŸ’–

So far, Paris has been learning to walk well on a leash, and has done great with house training 🚽🏑. Since she's still very young, routine will be key on continuing to be accident-free. For only being 4 months old, she's perfectly on track to be an amazing, well behaved family dog.

If you'd like to meet Paris, please send us a message, or fill out our adoption application! 🐾

Mars & Reese are looking for a home! 😻

This beautiful pair of bonded Siamese brothers has returned to us, but hopefully it's a very brief stay. They are just 1 year old, neutered, vaccinated and microchipped. Both boys are extremely affectionate and snuggly, both with each other and their humans. Typical of their breed, they're also very talkative. πŸ˜‚

Mars (sealpoint) loves to give head bumps and kisses 😘, and inserts himself into a lot of tasks that really don't require a Mars. Foster Mom reports that while Mars may be quite the helper, Reese (snowshoe) is the one verbally giving critique most of the time from over her shoulder. 🀣 Reese is also the first to bed, 'honking' the whole way as you crawl in, and expecting to share your pillow.

Both boys are good with other cats after slow introductions. Just a week back into their original bottle foster's home, even a whole 6 months since they first left, and Mars and Reese have fit right back in with the resident cats, as well as with other fosters. πŸ’• These very social, snuggly cats adapted quickly, and were eager to love on anyone who would let them within just days of their return.

If you'd like to adopt Mars & Reese, please send us a message, or fill out an adoption application! 🐾 We'd be happy to arrange a meet-and-greet at their foster's home.

Niles is looking for a home! 😻

The handsome cow cat is pretty new to the rescue, but has already decided he's a big fan of our cat shelves! πŸ˜‚ Niles is a 6 year old neutered male. He is vaccinated, microchipped, and was happy to let us know after just 2 days of settling in, that he's ready for his next step already! 😲 Bring on the visitors!

Niles came to us with 5 other cats when their owner could no longer care for them. He is shy for just the first couple minutes, but opens up right away with some cheek rubs and b***y pats! He's very affectionate once he knows he can trust you, and even though he likes to be up high, will come down from a tower for a cuddle if you'll make an offer with your hands!

Other cats and dogs are totally ok with Niles, and we think respectful kids would be fine too! He's a really chill guy who's just happy for some good company and the odd scratch under the chin. Definitely the kind of cat to occupy your lap while you binge watch a series or read a book.

If you'd like to meet Niles, please send us a message, or fill out an adoption application! 🐾
