Bass Reeves, the first Black deputy marshal west of the Mississippi, was responsible for bringing thousands of bad guys to justice in the years before Oklahoma became a state. His life will be covered in an episode of a new INSP television series “Wild West Chronicles.”
Inspired by true tales of famous characters and unsung heroes of the American West, the series will debut 4:30 p.m. Sunday, April 11. The Bass Reeves episode is scheduled to air Sunday, April 25, according to a publicist for INSP.
Craig Miller, INSP’s vice president of original unscripted programming and development, called “Wild West Chronicles” a unique twist on the historical docu-drama.
“We didn’t want to do a typical docu-drama with a bunch of talking-head experts, so we built a concept around a newspaper reporter who travels the frontier during the late 1800s to uncover the truth behind the wildest tales of the West,” Miller said.
“As he chases down stories, viewers meet notorious criminals, courageous lawmen and everyday heroes of the Old West. With a diverse group of characters featured in the series, there is sure to be someone there for everyone to love or loathe, or both.”
In the anthology series, the legendary Bat Masterson, once a formidable gunslinger and lawman, trades his sheriff’s badge for a pen and becomes a newspaper reporter. In each episode, Masterson tracks down eyewitnesses who share memories of Wild Bill Hickok, Stagecoach Mary, Butch Cassidy, Reeves and other characters.

Sadee

This gorgeous girl is Sadee. She came to us just a few months ago after being dumped out of a car and left on her own. To make things even worse, she was very pregnant at the time. Fast forward to now and she has delivered, mothered and weaned all her babies of which almost all have been adopted. Now it's her turn! Sadee is approximately a year old (just a baby herself!) and very personable! She loves people and gets along with other dogs too. Her favorite thing is snuggling under the covers with her foster every night! She is crate trained and may need a refresher course on housetraining. Sadee wants to please! She is what we call a pocket pit because she is a small girl with big energy. She loves to play with the big boys! Sadee would make a wonderful addition to any family if given the chance!
Sadee is vaccinated, spayed and microchipped and is available for adoption through Compassionate Animal Rescue Efforts.

Taffy

Taffy is a 9 lbs. female with an estimated birthdate of March 8, 2016. She just came into StreetCats on March 30, so we haven’t spent a lot of time with her, but she is friendly, wanders around and is a purr baby. She had been rescued by someone before coming into StreetCats because her family was moving without her, so she’s been an inside kitty. She has not been around other cats, dogs, or children that we know of. She likes to play with toys and likes to be treated gently – she’s not an aggressive kitty.
All cats have tested negative for FeLeuk/FIV and are current on rabies and FVRCP vaccinations. All StreetCats kitties have Home Again microchips implanted and are registered at no charge to the owner.
Adoption inquiries can be made at StreetCats, 60th Street and South Sheridan Road, or email cats@streetcatstulsa.org. To see more StreetCats, visit streetcatstulsa.org.

Maci

Hey world, my name is Maci. Some people think I'm too old at 8 years, but my heart and head tell me that I am still a puppy and I act like it! CARE rescue made sure I got my knees fixed so I'm good to go! So I have to tell you a funny story about my foster mom. She always gives all us dogs special doggie blueberry cookies in the morning when we come in from our first potty break. She always gives us 3, but this one morning she only gave me 2, while everyone else got 3 cookies. So, she said that I gave her a look like "that's not right" and she got the 3rd cookie and said that it looked like I counted all 3 treats, then ate them up! I'm a smart pup - no doubt about it! I would love to have my own family - are you that family? Let's have a meet and greet!
Maci is vaccinated, spayed and microchipped and is available for adoption through Compassionate Animal Rescue Efforts.

Garfield

This sweet older gentleman is around 9-10 years old. He was originally found outside after being attacked by another animal, we think his original owners moved and left him behind. He found a wonderful home after that, but sadly his owner had some medical issues arise and he is back with us. He is also FIV+ but he would be ok in a home with other cats as long as everyone gets along. Please consider adopting this sweet boy. He loves attention and wants someone to hang out with for the rest of his life.

Gizmo

While Gizmo loves other dogs as companions, she has a very awkward way of meeting them. She gets overly excited while barking and pulling to get to them. But once she meets them, within minutes they are getting along great! Gizmo is housebroken and she minds well and sits for a treat! She has used a crate before and does quite well in one, but doesn't use one currently. At her foster home, she is left alone uncrated with the other dogs and does great! She uses the doggy door for potty breaks! This funny girl will make you laugh every day! Give her a chance and she'll be your best friend for life.
Gizmo is vaccinated, spayed and microchipped and is available for adoption through Compassionate Animal Rescue Efforts.

Pearl

Back in November, Pearl pulled through after being hit by a car. Her jaw was broken, she had major head trauma and we weren’t sure she would ever see again. Pearl is thriving in her foster home. She's still not able to see completely (if at all), but she's adjusting well. She uses the litter box and has a very healthy appetite. She jumps on and off the couch and beds just fine. She loves to play nibble on fingers and purrs loudly when receiving affection. She likes to sniff everything as that's how she sees now. She's good with other cats, too! She's currently living in a foster home with a young kitten and children who like to play with her.

Bronson

Friendly, well-mannered, and a lover of other dogs, Bronson is a fantastic pup and has charmed his foster family! He is smart, eager to please, and food motivated. His foster family reports he is housebroken and behaves himself indoors. Bronson was rescued after being found in a backyard with severe flea allergies and ear infections. He has spent the last month recovering physically in foster care and is finally ready for adoption! This handsome boy is quite sensitive to loud noises and needs positive reinforcement and fear-free training to continue to blossom. Bronson's ideal home includes at least one other dog he can play with and snuggle up to on a couch.
Bronson is about 5 years old and weighs about 64 lbs. He's been neutered, vaccinated, heart worm tested (negative), microchipped, and is current on parasite prevention.

Toby

Toby is a gorgeous 8 year old long-haired kitty that needs a home with no other pets, children, or elderly adults. He was returned to us after living in a home with another cat that was very stressed out by him. He only likes to be petted on his terms, but he will rub on your legs, play with toys, and chew on loose strings - he seems to have “hunting” instincts. Very doubtful he’ll be a lap cat, so he needs an understanding adopter who has a quiet and loving home. He has his own scratching post that will go with him but having a cat tree to look out windows would be a great perk. He seems insecure around people he doesn’t know and likes to hide under covers on a chair in StreetCats in “his room,” but when he is more familiar with his surroundings, he will come out and wander around.
All cats have tested negative for FeLeuk/FIV and are current on rabies and FVRCP vaccinations. All StreetCats kitties have Home Again microchips implanted and are registered at no charge to the owner.
Adoption inquiries can be made at StreetCats, 60th Street and South Sheridan Road, or email cats@streetcatstulsa.org. To see more StreetCats, visit streetcatstulsa.org.

Finn

Finn (or Finley!) is a sweet but shy young adult in need of a new home. He was rescued from a feral colony as a kitten and quickly acclimated to his new family and quiet home. Aloof with strangers, Finn would hide when new people came over but could be found cuddling up next to his person at night. Unfortunately, in November of 2020, tragedy struck and he lost his patient owner. Finn has been with us ever since and is slowly but surely learning to trust more humans than he probably ever interacted with in his entire life. A little patience, a quiet atmosphere, and lots of tasty wet foods and tossed treats make all the difference to his comfort level and we believe Finn will be successful in the right home and make his adopters very happy. Finn has successfully lived with other cats in the past and could likely do so again.
Finn has been neutered, vaccinated, FeLV/FIV tested (negative), microchipped, and is current on parasite prevention.
How to adopt Finn:

Rusty

Rusty needs to be an only pet, but he is very affectionate towards people. He has been undergoing training recently to work on his manners, especially on the leash and redirecting him in the presence of other animals. He's been doing great! He will walk beside you with slack in the leash now and doesn't immediately fixate when he sees another dog. He is very intelligent, loyal, and loving. He learns new things quickly and would be a wonderful addition to a family.

Tux

Tux used to be a house cat. He had a home of his own and people he loved. Sadly, when they moved out several years ago, they left him behind and he's been on his own ever since. He is FIV+ and so will need to remain as an indoor cat for the rest of his life. He can be around non FIV cats as long as everyone gets along well. He's an older guy and would do well in a somewhat quiet environment where he can take all the time he needs to recover and get used to his new home.

Corey

If you are looking for a middle-aged gentleman, look no further! No time for a puppy? Perfect! Corey is your man! Corey’s foster says he is very laid back. He is slow to warm up, but his personality is coming through more each day. He enjoys being very physically close to his human - personal space is not a Corey concept He seems to tolerate and play with other dogs ok, but if given the choice he would probably rather lounge/chill. He is not vocal whatsoever, definitely house broken, LOVES walks. He isn’t a fan of cats. We think he maybe 6-7 years old.

Brady

Brady had a major abscess on the side of his face, but it was successfully drained, cleaned, and he was given antibiotics. He's healing up nicely and should be ready for his forever home soon. He's pretty chill and likes to lay on blankets while watching his foster mom go about her sewing. He's well behaved and seems to really like people.

Rose

This mama dog has had a pretty rough life. She's had at least a few litters in her life time and spent quite a while living on her own on the streets. She was eventually spotted running and hiding while holding up one of her back legs and not wanting to use it. Presumably she had been hit by a car, but wouldn't let anyone get close to help. Eventually one of our own volunteers managed to successfully trap her so we could get her the medical attention she needed. We were able to save the leg and treat her heartworm. These days Rose is feeling great in her foster home! She's happy, playful, and good with other dogs. She's a little shy at first, but take things slow and once she realizes you're not going to hurt her she'll be your best friend forever!

Chief

Chief is one of our senior cats, and he is looking for his forever home! A gentle, sweet older cat is a great companion! And he would love to meet you! Chief is one chill dude. He is perfectly content to share his space with anyone else whether it's people, other cats, even dogs. He just doesn't want to be bothered. He likes getting pets and is a big fan of food. He's an older guy so he doesn't really run around or play much, but if you've got a quite house with a comfy spot to sleep Chief would love to help you fill that spot.

Bruno

Bruno absolutely loves other animals! Especially dogs, but he also lives with cats and even a bird in his foster home. He's high energy and intelligent which means he would do best in an active home with a yard to run around and other dogs to play with. He has some separation anxiety and cannot be left alone, but is totally fine as long as there is another dog in the room with him while his people are gone. He'll even be calm and stay in a crate all day as long as he has a doggie friend close by.

Misty

This is Misty aka Mistletoe. We wish we knew what her life was like before she ended up alone and scared in the shelter. Her eyes looked so sad when we saw her. She was a senior at 9 years old and she was heartworm positive. We couldn’t leave her, so she became a CARE Rescue dog and has spent the last three months getting rid of those deadly heartworms. And even when she wasn’t feeling good, she still had her tail wagging. Misty is smart and obedient. She does well in the house, loves her chew bones and gets along with other dogs. You would never know she is a “senior” by her energy, though she does love a good Netflix night on the couch with her person! We believe she is a Heeler/cattle dog mix and maybe a little “over healthy” because her foster mom felt sorry for her and maybe over indulged a bit? Misty has good years left and would make such a great family member! Will you give her a loving last chapter?
Misty is vaccinated, spayed and microchipped and is available for adoption through Compassionate Animal Rescue Efforts.

Coweta

Meet Coweta also known as Chip! He is a gangly teenager at 6 months old and more than likely, he is a Great Pyrenees mix. He is a sweet, playful pup who really loves everyone and wants to be friends with all he meets! He is a little shy at first since he is still figuring out his place in the world, but we witnessed he had an instant like for the visiting kids at Petsmart! Our adoption area is 20 miles from Tulsa due to our adoption process.
As part of our adoption process, Coweta will be fully vaccinated, neutered and microchipped as per our veterinarian’s guidelines and is available for adoption through Compassionate Animal Rescue Efforts.

Her foster mom says "Mini is a sweet little girl that enjoys head scratches and cuddling up next to you in a quiet house. She is FIV+ and requires being an only cat or with other FIV kitties. Mini is dog friendly.”

Aldo

This is Aldo. He used to live in a place where he wasn’t loved, wasn’t cared for, there was no food to the point of starvation and sadly he was cold and lonely. Fate brought him and a man named Jonathan together. Jonathan was on a business trip and found Aldo, alone, scared and hungry. Aldo seemed to know that this man would help him. When Jonathan stroked his head, Aldo wrapped both his legs around Jonathan’s leg as if to say please don’t leave me. And he didn’t. Fast forward to today...Jonathan helped this pup get healthy and happy and now it’s time to find his forever home. And CARE Rescue is helping Jonathan and Aldo find that family! Aldo is a black mouth cur (hound) mix who is approximately 2-1/2 years old. He is good with other dogs, smart and responsive to commands, eager to please and loves belly rubs. He is house trained and ready to be a part of a family!
Aldo is fully vaccinated, microchipped and neutered. If you or someone you know is looking for loyal and loving companion, Aldo is that perfect dog and is available for adoption through Compassionate Animal Rescue Efforts.

Scott

This meaty muffin with the charming smile came to us from some good samaritians who took him in when his previous owner could not care from him properly. Scott is equal parts dignified, mysterious gentleman and shy, squishy baby. He is currently in one of our wonderful foster homes and coming out of his shell more and more every day.
Scott spent his life before rescue living outside but is adapting to his new cushy abode very well. His foster reports he is potty trained in her home, and learning about all the joys of indoor living, such as snuggling on sofas with humans and eating tasty treats. Scott is interested in other large dogs when he sees them on walks, and he has shared some friendly sniffs, but says "no thank you!" to cats or small dogs. He could likely live with another mellow dog if given a slow introduction, but is also very much enjoying life as a spoiled king of the castle and would be happy to see that continue.

Buddy

This dapper gent is Buddy, an 8-year-old Staffordshire Terrier/Boston Terrier mix. He is friendly to people but needs to be an only pet in the household. Buddy is almost deaf and needs an understanding family who can help him with the anxiety hearing loss can cause. His foster taught him some basic hand signals so as long as he's looking at you he knows the commands for sit, stay, lay down and come. Due to unforeseen circumstances, his foster had to leave town for an extended period and poor Buddy has had to go back into boarding. Buddy would like a foster or forever home.

Addie

Addie is living her best life! When she first came into our care, she was terrified and absolutely miserable. She had one of the worst cases of mange I've seen. It was itchy, painful, and just all around no fun for anyone. Her mange has been successfully treated and her fur is slowly growing back in the many places where it had been lost. She's no longer the shy girl she once was and loves people and other dogs, even cats! She just wants to play, eat good food, and hang out with people she likes. Are you the forever people she's looking for?

Benny

When we rescued Benny from a local shelter, his teeth were in such bad shape we thought at first his jaw was possibly broken. He had roots exposed on many of them and had to have 25 teeth taken out. Benny is feeling so much better, and we are starting to see his cute, playful personality! He is so sweet and good with other dogs. Benny is a little older possibly around 8-9 years old.

Billy

Billy is very loving and playful, but has a lot of pent-up energy from being in boarding. He's been working with a trainer and has been doing really well on picking on basic manners. He needs to be in a home that can give him the time and attention he needs. He loves toys, but isn't destructive with them. He'll sit for his treats and is working on being more patient with waiting. We've even had him around other dogs and he doesn't seem to be aggressive towards them.
Billy would like a foster or forever home.

Noel

Noel was found laying in a field with a prolapsed colon. The poor girl was riddled with worms and had eaten a number of things that weren't actually food. After two major surgeries she's just like any normal dog, even if her colon is a little bit shorter now. She loves to explore and find new things to sniff (and try to eat). She loves other dogs, especially active dogs who like to wrestle. She's a sucker for peanut butter and loves her Kong toys when filled with something she likes!

She loves to be right by you, so she would do well with someone that is home a lot. This girl craves affection. She is being crate trained and potty trained, too!

Lily

In June, our cruelty investigator picked up a thin dog with no fur at all. We can't imagine the pain poor Lily must have been in for so long; just touching her skin made it bleed. She was covered in scabs, bright pink and had many infected areas of her skin. While she had very little energy, Lily was a survivor and has been working hard on her health over these past 7 months. She is finally ready to find her forever family and begin moving on from her difficult first few years of life.
Currently in a foster home that reports Lily is a "huge source of joy and amusement," this shy but sweet girl is flourishing. She is well on her way to being potty- and crate-trained. She hasn't had an accident in her foster home in weeks and goes easily into her crate but does bark for a few minutes before settling down. Lily enjoys snuggling, chewing on hard bones and now has the energy for going on long walks.
Lily has played with other dogs and very much enjoys wrestling and rumbling hard, so much so that she can find it hard to stop playing when other dogs are around! She would do well in an only dog home or in a home with other dogs who enjoy a good hard romp and humans who could be proactive in reinforcing calm behavior when everyone is together.
Lily is around 3 years old, weighs 65 pounds, is heartworm positive and has not yet been spayed. As a big girl who can occasionally be jumpy mouthy when excited, she is looking for a home without children younger than 12 years of age. Having an intact animal in your home is an added responsibility that potential adopters should consider. She has been vaccinated, microchipped and is current on parasite prevention.
Because of the long road to recover that Lily is still on, she is being offered as a foster to adopt candidate. This comes with many benefits, such as access to our dog trainer and clinic, for Lily's needs! The Tulsa SPCA will continue to treat Lily medically until she is healthy enough to be spayed, after which the adoption will be finalized. We will also soon begin treatment for her heartworms, at no cost to her adopter.
Let us know if you are Lily's happily ever after!

Percy Lou

Percy is a middle-aged girl who, along with her sister, was dumped at a local high-kill shelter after years of neglect and overbreeding. With the support of many, Percy and her sister were rescued by CARE Rescue. Unfortunately, her sister didn’t make it due to a cancerous mass. But Percy has received noninvasive medical treatment and is now just looking for a soft place to lay her head. Along with years of neglect, Percy is a bit overweight and is simply looking for a family who will treat her well. In only a few weeks, Percy has begun to show her true personality, and she is showing bursts of playfulness. But after a little bit of attention and activity, she is ready to go to a soft place to rest. If you are looking for a girl who isn’t looking for lots of activity, Percy will show you all the love a girl can. It is believed she is approximately 7 years old but still has lots of life. After first being dumped at a shelter which was loud and hectic, then going to Woodland West Animal Hospital for medical care, Percy is now seeing that humans can be caring, and she has made many new friends despite recently losing her sister. Percy is spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated and is available for adoption through Compassionate Animal Rescue Efforts.

Carlos

Carlos is approximately 18 months old and don’t let his size mislead you. This boy is possibly the most “chill” dog you will ever meet. He rarely barks, loves other dogs and is the perfect gentleman with a smile that will melt your heart. Carlos loves to give hugs and kisses if you let him, but mostly, he is simply looking or a family to love and to be loved. Carlos is comfortable in a crate but doesn’t mind getting in the car if you want a buddy to tag along. He even walks great on a leash. There are not enough wonderful adjectives to describe this sweet boy, but be assured he is as calm and well-behaved as any dog you will ever meet. Carlos is neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated and is available for adoption through Compassionate Animal Rescue Efforts.

Diego and Dora

Diego and Dora were found as strays together, and we don't know if they were raised together (they aren't very old), but they are bonded and seem to need each other!
Beautiful Dora is about a year old. Even being out on her own with her friend Diego, she has such a sweet, happy and easy-going manner. That's not to say she doesn't like to play because she does and still shows that puppyness! Diego has such a loving spirit and really loves being around people. He is a pretty chill guy most of the time but only being about 9 months old (he's a big guy), he still gets pretty excited about everything. Both of them do well with other dogs, always waggin their tails in welcome, and they seldom bark. They both know to wait to go potty outside and are very gentle taking treats and food.
This is from their trainer/foster: "DIEGO needs DORA more then she needs him. She will at least go potty without him, but then she wants right back in with him, and the reunion is as if they spent days apart. DIEGO, however, cannot function without his sister. They are so dependent upon each other, it’s sad to see them always looking for the other when I pull them one at a time to work with them. Their lives have not been very consistent, so the bond between them is even stronger. Having each other is something they could always count on. I feel like separating them would be detrimental to their psyche and would forever change who they are. There has to be someone out there, with 3 or 4 kids, that needs a couple of playful pups..."
We do offer a foster to adopt program and working with our trainers if you feel you have a home that would benefit from having a great "two for one" new family members! Visit carerescueok.org for our adoption application.
Diego and Dora are fully vaccinated, microchipped and Diego is neutered and Dora is spayed. Diego and Dora are available for adoption through Compassionate Animal Rescue Efforts.

Bonnie

Bonnie is a sweetheart! She’s about 3 years old and has a unique voice. Sometimes we call her the gremlin! She loves humans of all ages and sizes, and would love to have a child or two of her very own. Bonnie does not play well with other dogs or cats, so therefore she must be the only pet. But she has enough love for everyone! Bonnie is spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated and is available for adoption through Compassionate Animal Rescue Efforts.

Johnny

Johnny is about 2 years old but acts like a happy bouncing 3-month-old! And his fur is as soft as a pup's! Johnny is a timid little guy, loud voices and new things still frighten him, so slow and steady wins his heart. He is working on his basic commands and already walks well on leash but needs more confidence-building. He could have a doggie friend but still needs some work on proper play and sharing. If you need a friend that’ll keep you laughing, come meet Johnny! Johnny is fully vaccinated, neutered, microchipped and is available for adoption through Compassionate Animal Rescue Efforts.

Mr. Heckles

My name is Mr. Heckles, but my friends just call me Heckles. I’m a lifer here at CARE, meaning I was born into the rescue! I’m 2½ years old and so ready to find my forever family. I’m a little quirky, but I don’t think that means I don’t deserve an understanding family of my own. In fact, I’m patiently waiting for them to find me. I’m a pretty big guy weighing in at 91 pounds, and I’m a Great Pyrenees mix! I know how to sit, lay down, crawl, shake and even sit pretty! I walk well on a martingale collar too. I get a little nervous around new people and new dogs, but I do warm up. I may be a big guy, but I just can’t help that I get nervous, and I hope that doesn’t deter you from wanting to give me a shot. With my size, sometimes things scare me. I’m house- and crate-trained, and I think I would do best with grownups and bigger kids. The little ones sometimes have loud voices that make me nervous. I know that if I had a family that would love me and make me feel safe, I would be the very best loyal companion for my whole life. I really like to play fetch and go for car rides! Those are the best! But you know what’s better than a car ride? BELLY RUBS AND BEING BRUSHED! Boy do i love belly rubbins! If you want to meet me, please apply for me at carerescueok.org.
Mr. Heckles is fully vaccinated, neutered, microchipped and is available for adoption through Compassionate Animal Rescue Efforts.

Eleanor

Meet Eleanor! She is a young mama that was found on the streets trying to protect her three young babies and did a good job of it! Now, she and her puppies are ready for their forever homes!

Eleanor does well in the house and is learning that she doesn't have to steal food to survive any longer. Her foster mom says she is very playful and always wants to be with and around the family with kids. She will sit and shake for a treat! Eleanor is spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated and is available for adoption through Compassionate Animal Rescue Efforts.

Lupen

Lupen is a 1-year-old who gets along great with other dogs and loves to wrestle and play. He knows how to sit and lay down. He is fearful of new people, but with the right person who is willing to be patient with him, he will be your best friend. Unfortunately, he is more fearful of men; however, once he learns to trust as he has with his foster's brother, he will reciprocate. From his foster mom: "Lupen is a complete goofball. Belly rubs are his favorite kind of love, and he’s more than happy to curl up in bed with you. If you don’t mind, he will thank you with lots of kisses and wet willies. He has lots of energy so he will do best with someone willing to play with him on a daily basis. Lupen is currently living with a 10-year-old girl so we feel he will do well with or without kids in the home. He is crate-trained and does best when he has a toy to entertain him. Lupen has not been cat tested, but he is interested in birds in his yard." His current foster says he is a sweet little guy and has made great progress in their home. We are looking for a family that will be patient and loving. Lupen is neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated and is available for adoption through Compassionate Animal Rescue Efforts.

Percy

Percy was one of the many dogs displaced by the flooding in Oklahoma. He now lives in the house, loves his crate and has not had one accident in the house. He even understands what “potty” means, sits on command, comes when called, walks great on a leash and has learned the commands “stop that” and “kennel up.” He’s so happy to be with children and he’s just happy to be with people! Percy is a gentle soul and a tender spirit. He is approximately 4 years old and is believed to be a lab/mastiff mixed breed. Percy is fully vaccinated, neutered, microchipped and is available for adoption through Compassionate Animal Rescue Efforts.

Honey

Meet Honey! She is the perfect lady! Honey was adopted back in 2018 after having a beautiful litter of puppies. She was recently returned as her family was having medical issues and could no longer take care of her. She hasn’t skipped a beat and really just loves to lounge around with the random romp in the backyard! She is amazing with children, other dogs and hasn’t paid much attention to the cats either. This girl turns 8 years old this year and is ready for a chill home environment to spend her days. Honey is fully vaccinated, spayed and microchipped and is available for adoption through Compassionate Animal Rescue Efforts.

Kiko

Kiko was found by a Good Samaritan as a stray dog. It’s thought that he was hit by a car from how he was walking. But after visiting a local animal clinic, the veterinarian believes he has been involved in a car accident in the past but he is now healed up. During further examination, the doctor found poor Kiko is full of buckshot from being shot at by horribly cruel humans.
Kiko has been in a wonderful foster home with another dog, where he loves all people despite having every reason not to be accepting. He’s ready to find his forever family. He will need a tall fence since his wandering days are over!
Kiko is what we call a gentle giant and is believed to be 6-7 years old. Kiko is house-trained and knows commands. He does well with other dogs, but as of yet, we are not sure about cats. He is fully vaccinated, neutered and microchipped. Kiko needs to be loved as much as he loves people and he is available for adoption through Compassionate Animal Rescue Efforts.

Boo

My name is Boo and I’m mostly a lounge act with a playful side. I made a name for myself on the streets and found a dashing older dog during my travels. I took the initiative and tried to move in with him, unfortunately his elderly owner wasn’t in the position to take in a younger gal like myself. However, I have since learned, the elderly woman and my current foster mom were in cahoots to end my gypsy ways. Turns out I happen to fancy being a house dog and one that excludes cats. There’s just something about how they skulk around acting like they want to play, but I discovered they are all frauds. They don’t really want to play, and they get all high and mighty when I try. Talk about mixed signals!
Anyway, I’m 3 years old, spayed, vetted, microchipped, house-trained and crate-trained and would very much like to have a family of my own. My foster friend got adopted, so life is pretty lonely nowadays. I promise to greet you every day with a smile and I aim to please. Especially if there’s a bully stick involved because those are my favorite! Boo is available for adoption through Compassionate Animal Rescue Efforts.

TomTom

TomTom is a very cool little guy — more of a pocket pit! He has beautiful fawn coloring. TomTom is crate-trained and is such a patient pup. He loves running outside but is not crazy about the cold weather. Because of his old and new injuries when he was found, we would say he would do best being an only dog for now and no kitties. He’s a super sweet dog that just wants love and a home! TomTom is fully vaccinated, neutered and microchipped and is available for adoption through Compassionate Animal Rescue Efforts.
