Every single day in Oklahoma, dogs are suffering at the end of a chain. No shelter. No fresh water. No soft bed. No freedom.

Unchain OK works to change that. But we can’t do it without YOU.

We’re begging for boots on the ground…
People willing to:

🐾 Deliver food, clean water, dog houses, pools, and straw
🐾 Help install tie-outs to give dogs some relief
🐾 Help build or repair fences to get them off chains for good

Right now, we have dogs waiting for help… but not enough hands to give it.

Please…if you have a heart for the forgotten, the neglected, the voiceless…step up. Be the reason a dog knows freedom for the first time.

👉 Sign up to volunteer: www.animalallianceok.org/volunteer

📍 You don’t need special skills. Just compassion and a willingness to help.

Help us unchain Oklahoma’s dogs. They’re counting on us.

This mama is a survivor. Fort Smith animal control says she has been on and off the streets for 3 years and had too many babies to even count. A sweet friend in ft smith found her with new babies and called everyone around to help with no luck. We stepped in and got this beautiful girl vetted, bathed, de wormed, the babies cleaned and de wormed, got the hundred of fleas and dozens of ticks off of them and they are currently in the loving care of my good friend until they are adopted. Days like this are so rewarding. Thank you to our entire team for your efforts.

Please ensure your pets have name tags and collars ready for the 4th of July weekend. If you don't have a tag, consider writing your phone number in permanent marker directly on the collar or attaching a piece of duct tape with the information. Additionally, take a recent photo of your pet in case they go missing. It is best to keep them indoors but we all know they can bolt outside. Let's keep our furry friends safe!

Well said! Please consider fostering or adopting!

Fostering or adopting a pet? Congrats! You've just picked someone up in your car who isn't great at communicating, just got out of a tough situation, and isn't sure if they trust you yet. Sound familiar? That's because the first three days with a new pet are basically a 72-hour first date.

It's exciting, it's awkward, and it's definitely not the time to start planning your holiday cards or giving them a bubble bath.

No judgment, but some of y'all might need a quick refresher on first-date etiquette. So here's your official guide to early red flags (from you, not them).

🚩 Leaving them unattended like it's no big deal
Imagine showing up to a blind date and immediately getting ditched at a party where you know no one. That's how your pet feels when they're left alone right away.

Bottom line: Don't ghost your new pet. It's day one. Stick close.

🚩 Being too handsy
They're cute. You're smitten. But this isn't the moment for kisses, cuddles, or TikToks with voiceovers. You just met. They don't know your intentions yet.

This isn't a fling; it's the start of something real. Let them come to you. (Consent matters, even in pet parenting.)

🚩 Introducing them to your entire cast of characters
You ever meet someone and they immediately want you to meet their mom? Yikes.

Your pet doesn't need to meet your whole social circle (or animal crew) right away. Let them settle in, one face at a time. Save the group hangs for later.

🚩 Giving them a bath
You wouldn't give someone you just met a bath, and if you would… we don't want to talk about this anymore.

Yes, shelter pets can be a little stinky. But baths are a lot. They're wet, stressful, and weirdly intimate for a pet who doesn't even know your hobbies yet. Spritz some pet-safe essential oils around the house and give them time to decompress before sudsing them up.

🚩 Taking them on a spontaneous adventure
You are not on The Bachelor. No one wants a surprise helicopter ride on day one.

Keep things calm and close to home. No breweries, dog parks, or road trips. Your pet's just trying to figure out which room has the snacks, don't make them learn a whole new location yet.

🚩 Expecting instant love
Some folks swipe right, go on one date, and expect sparks to fly immediately. The same energy applies to new pet parents who expect instant attachment.

Sometimes it does happen, but more often, it's a slow burn. They might hide under the bed, bark at the fridge, or side-eye you for three days straight. It doesn't mean it's not working. It just means you're still getting to know each other.

💘 The Bottom Line: Love doesn't always strike like lightning. Sometimes, it starts with awkward silences, side-eyes, and mutually agreeing that you won't make any sudden moves. But give it time, stay patient, and keep showing up, and you just might find yourself in the best relationship of your life.
