About

Established in 2013, our 501c3 rescue focuses on saving all breeds of dogs and cats, mixed or purebred, that are in need in Oklahoma rural shelters. All of the pet in our care live in foster homes with families so they can learn basic training and manners. Every pet is spayed/neutered, fully vaccinated, dewormed, microchipped and kept on monthly flea/tick and heartworm preventative. Many of the pups we rescue are medical cases, and that can get expensive at times but we never turn a dog or cat away if we know a little TLC and Vet care can save it’s life.

Special requirements apply to puppy adoption. Requirements vary depending upon the age of the puppy. All requirements must be met before you complete the adoption application, with the exception of a provable medical exemption for spay/neuter that is provided by your Veterinarian.
