Mercy Sakes 2nd Chance Dogs Rescue

12/07/2025

NEWBIE ALERT!

As we promised the other day, we had several dogs desperately waiting for intake. We went to meet Coco off the euth list at TAS but she wasn't a good fit for our program. We instead pulled Boston! Boston is a young pocket bully who came into tas either formerly bred, or pregnant. She was adopted....went to spay, got microchipped etc and it was discovered that she was heartworm positive 😭 because of this, her adopters had no choice but to back out of the adoption due to their 4 young active children and inability to be able to keep her calm through treatment. Since Boston was already on the at risk list, she immediately went right back on it.

We met all the at risk dogs and fell in love with Boston. She is a 2 year old, 44 lb low riding adorable sweetheart of a dog. She loves other dogs, loves kids, loves toys, and is crate trained, potty trained and a complete joy to be around. Way too good of a dog to be euthanized for space for sure. Boston likes kitties...to eat. So she wouldn't be a good fit for a home with kitty cats. For now. Boston is in a temp foster being treated for Kennel cough, and beginning treatment for heartworms.

Unfortunately, rescuing her will cost money to rid her of those pesky silent killers. We luckily have 30 days to raise the funds to make that happen for her. Boston is available to a foster with experience on heartworm positive dogs until shes healthy to be adopted or a foster to adopt home. We will cover all expenses and supplies while she is undergoing treatment !

Thank you Friends of TAS of helping us meet, and get to know Boston better so we could save her life !

If you'd like to sponsor her, you can do so any method below. Every bit adds up! Nothing is too small. She also would appreciate some toys, or bones or busy things while she's on crate rest to keep her busy so I attached the wish list also !

Pupdate: 7/12/25 -went to foster ! ♡

Pupdate! 🛑please read all!🛑
🚨🚨🚨DEADLINE TOMORROW 7/11🚨🚨🚨

We were able to help 2 dogs today of the 6 we posted yesterday. One went to another rescue, one came to us, and we pulled a 3rd in place of Coco to buy her one more night of networking.
I will make seperate posts for our newbies but really really wanted to bring some attention to Coco at TAS since shes on very borrowed time. (Euthanasia extended to 6pm tomorrow)

Marcia and I went and visited with miss coco today. She is a young lab?heeler?/hound mix. Her pictures do her no justice. She has a cute little overbite and is 50 lbs.

Coco needs a special home. Many factors went into our reason for not pulling her into our rescue today for her own sake as I dont feel we are the best fit for her. Her chance of declining in a boarding environment are very high. I'd much rather see a healthy dog euthanized humanely than to see a high energy dog crated long hours going insane just to stay alive for months on end. I promised Coco that she is a good girl and she didnt do anything wrong, but that I was gonna try for her.

So based on my observations and speaking with many who have had one on one time with her, heres the full transparency break down for anyone who may just be what she needs !

1.) Coco is a big personality in a big body and doesn't recognize her size. Because of this, id recommend older children who can handle a high energy dog who out of excitement may jump and nip to initiate play. My 9 year old had 0 control over her and she about ran him over several times out of excitement. (No aggression) For me, she sat respectfully, took treats nicely, followed commands, and gave kisses but im also a LOT bigger than her and she didn't put forth the effort to be in my face like she did his.

2.) She's very dog friendly! Although shes a high energy semi dominant player, shes not shown any aggression individually or with play groups of all gender/size. She LOVES to play. If you have a high energy dog her size, they would absolutely play til warn out and she would be incredibly happy with that. She isnt aggressive shes just a LOT of dog and needs an outlet for all that!

3.) Her leash manners leave something to be desired. She has no manners on that aspect. She is strong. Pulls hard in every direction and doesn't care about your shoulders, her own legs getting wrapped up, etc. She would definitely benefit from a gentle leader and a harness with some basic training, she would be a very desirable dog.

Unfortunately, in our experience....any effort is too much to ask with as many dogs in need out there that are already perfect and require less and still aren't getting adopted.

I'd like to note that when it was just me and Coco she was perfection. She kept her focus on me, obeyed my request for her to sit, listened when I told her to stay off, gave me gentle kisses, took treats just fine etc until there were distractions like passing people, my son, other dogs etc and she then was too exciteable to focus. All very trainable issues but not something I personally can commit to with as many fosters that I have at this time. She is very treat motivated, so that helps!

To recap on her history: Coco had a family....was too high energy for them in an apartment and so they surrendered her and got a different puppy. Now that I've met her personally, i can understand how her needs could be more than an inexperienced inactive home would be able to manage. She also has hound in her, so when seeing other dogs in very excitable scenarios she bays like a hound dog. She doesn't do it relentlessly but in an apartment it wouldn't be appropriate to neighbors without an energy outlet. I believe it was just frustration and a desire to be out with the rest of the world.

She is potty trained ! She was very thankful to have a potty break outside, run through the grass smelling all the smells and sunbathing on the bench with us. She's not for everyone but she may be just right for someone.

🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨Unfortunately her deadline is tomorrow July 11th at 6pm. If you think you have room, a tiny bit of patience, and a desire to save a very worthy life please act quickly🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨🚨

Coco is available at Tulsa Animal Services 3031 n Erie Ave Tulsa ok tomorrow from 2 to 6pm. Her adoption fee is waived and shes fully vetted (spayed, chipped, vaccinated, etc)

We DID pull a dog in her place with significant medical needs to allow her more time to find a home when we decided she needs to be in a home environment and worked with directly.

Please message if you have any questions about her ! Video in comments since I cant post both here !

Another very happy tails ♡

Boudreaux formerly Monk has finally found a home. He was abandoned in North Tulsa, mauled almost to death by a pack of owned outdoor dogs because he tried to eat from their food bowl and then was being mistreated by the locals for merely trying to survive. What's sad is this boy LOVES people and he was trying so hard to be saved, but nobody would help him. Finally, thanks to all of you....we rallied together and took him in, took him to the vet to get fixed up and healthy and then found a home. A wonderful woman who had been in contact with us for months regarding him, came and signed paperwork and made an appointment to retrieve him when she was ready in her new place. We sent him to be groomed professionally, and she contacted us requesting we wave the adoption fee, but we respectfully declined that ability to be able to do so because he had cost us soooo much ....then we never heard from her again. 😭😭

Unfortunately Monk became increasingly irritated being in boarding and started lashing out at other dogs, pacing, back tracking on his potty habits, and losing weight. No matter what we did, he was absolutely miserable. He refused to be outside unattended and also refused to be outside with other dogs. He wanted inside only but not in his run. He began barking excessively, and neurotic at boarding and we were forced to take him to haven where he displayed that behavior to a point we had to medicate him and began discussing quality of life choices. He got one more opportunity to meet someone who we were transparent with up front and recommended a trial foster to adopt period to make sure that Monk was going to be able to mentally function in a home after such trauma in a boarding environment and goodness did he hit the jackpot.

Monk, now Boudreaux has been with his foster trial for almost a month now. He has met the family, the families pets, gained weight, corrected his potty habits again, and today she came and finalized his adoption. She reports that they just understand each other and he is just a big sweet velcro baby who wanted to be the center of someone's world and she allowed him to do so. He never let's momma out of his sight (not even to the bathroom shower) hehe and with that tiny change in his daily routine, he has become a perfect dog again. All he wanted was a hooman to love him full time all the time ♡ we cried for him so many times because of his declining and we were so so hesitant and uncertain that hed ever get this second chance with as much behavior challenges we began facing with him. After basic training, a little effort, time and nothing but love....we cried again but for a better reason. We and his new mom partnered to hold a promise of a 2nd chance and succeeded. We love you drooly boy. Go live your fullest and most plush life ! You waited long enough!

Happy tails 😍

$130 raised so far.

🦧🦮🐕‍🦺🐕We have a couple dogs desperately pending intake and are additionally being tagged in several posts for dogs in need.

Unfortunately, rescuing dogs costs money and we are donation based.🩺🩻🩹💊💉🩸 Vaccinations, flea tick heartworm prevention, food, treats, Kennels, toys, in addition to daily operation costs like our $500 electric bill and water bill etc. We cannot do any of this without support. We have the space and means to help 3 only right now in addition to those that have committed fosters once funds are raised and theyare caught, but we cannot say yes without funding to do so for everyone's sake. 🩸🩸🩸🩸

🏃‍♀️ If you'd like to help us speed this process up for these dogs outside struggling in the heat 🔥 or on the euth list 💀 at TAS (she only has until tomorrow at 6pm) then please act quickly and sponsor a pup! We have a dog food order coming up on Friday and its $350. This feeds our fosters and sanctuary dogs for less than 2 weeks and we are constantly having to beg and fight and plead for their lives because everyone is full and broke :(

Help us help them !!!! Stay cool friends! Also wish Loki luck, he has a meet and greet in 30 minutes ! ♡ paws crossed !

Skeeter here checking in to show you my glow up in progress! My foster momma says im just the goodest boy who loves routine, cats, dogs, kids, warm fuzzy blankets, and TREATS! I am still saving funds for my heartworm treatment and my skin gets better looking every day ! I have brindle stripes growing in and im really working on getting chunky !

I know i was scared out there in the big world when I was abandoned and my rescuers weren't so sure I was gonna be able to be rehabilitated but once I knew I was safe and could be my happy self, I havent stopped glowing since! Ive never had an accident in my crate and I know where the back door is to go out and back in all by myself! I even know where the treats are and my foster momma said I can have all the treats I want, so I make sure to sit by the treat bar every time I come inside to get my reward before I'll go back in my room. 😁 I did have a scared poo on the couch once, but thats because I really thought I was gonna get in trouble for being on there. But my foster momma cleaned it up and wrapped me in blankets which makes me so happy and now I love the couch and asking for belly rubs. Today I got to meet another doggy friend, a girl named Zosia and she was so pretty ! She is scared like I was when I was rescued, so I tried really hard to play with her but shes not ready yet. I gave the kitty a lick on my way back to the treat bar and let foster mom know im so thankful. ♡

Just wanted to give a high paw and say thank you to all of those who have given me a chance to prove that I wasn't abandoned for anything I did wrong. I am such a happy handsome good boy!

If you'd like to send me any snacks, I like ALL treats ! I am also on a few different medications, supplements, and a combination of wet/dey food and medicated baths so im really trying to get healthy but it's expensive ! Eating is my favorite thing to do besides getting belly rubs now !

ALSO, If YOU want to foster me, you can apply at mercysakes2ndchancerescue.com!

Thank you !
