Tune in to "America’s Funniest Videos" airing 6 p.m. Sunday, Oct. 18 on ABC to see how Okay Public Schools teacher Travis Sloat fares in competition for a $10,000 cash prize.
Sloat, who served a brief stint as news editor of the Wagoner Tribune, is one of three finalists for top video honors. He will win anywhere from $2,000 to $10,000 for his entry.
Sloat was taping a virtual teaching video for his middle school English Learning Arts students when he realized that his wife’s bra could be seen hanging on the back of the bedroom door over his shoulder. His reaction to seeing the undergarment and what he says is what makes the video hilarious.

Little Mama
Little Mama is a blue tabby with white, and her estimated birthdate is 12/1/2013. Her right eye apparently had an issue in the past, but the eye is fine. She came in with two companions, but they have been adopted and are doing great in their new home. While she is shy, we think once she has a home of her own, she will adjust because when she was in a foster home before coming into StreetCats, she followed the lady all over the place. She would probably be best in a home with no dogs and no small children. She hangs out in a hidey house on top of the fridge in StreetCats, but we hope someone will give her a chance for a home of her own as she is a special lady.
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.

Moscato
Moscato aka Mosi is such a beautiful, sweet pup! She is a VERY young mother at only 9 months and has been a good little mama, even though she was a baby having babies. She loves people and has actually preferred her foster dad over mom! Mosi enjoys playing fetch and squeaky toys better watch out. She came from a hoarder situation so we did not expect her to handle being in a crate but she adapted very well. Mosi is only about 25 pounds, and we don't anticipate she will get much bigger. She truly loves being with other dogs so we are hoping her forever family has a companion dog for this little mama. Mosi will be spayed once her pups are adopted. She is microchipped, fully vaccinated and is available for adoption through Compassionate Animal Rescue Efforts.

Millie
If you are looking for a senior cat who desperately needs a home, Millie is the “purrfect” cat for you. She is all white, weights 8.85 pounds and her estimated birthdate is 3/17/2005. She was adopted 3/24/2006 by a former StreetCats volunteer who recently died, so Millie came back to StreetCats because we always take back cats that were initially adopted from us when they lose their home. While she’s still adjusting to being in StreetCats, she’d much rather have a loving home or her own. Her former owner gave her lots of love and attention, which she’d love to have again. She shared her home with Tiny, who is also in StreetCats, but is on hold at this time before being available for adoption. Millie’s blood work showed she is still in great health and she also had a dental cleaning, along with updated vaccinations, when she was returned to us.
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.

Georgie
Meet Georgie! This young dane mix is a light 72 pounds of long legs and goofy smiles! Lost in midtown Tulsa, Georgie found himself a good Samaritan to charm. His old home was eventually found but unable to care for him so we were happy to welcome this handsome hunk into our program and get him ready for adoption!
In a past life, we suspect Georgie was a model, as he will often strike a pose and wait for you to notice him, and he's definitely been practicing his smile in the mirror because it's spot on. Like any dedicated model, he frequents the gym, where he's working on his muscular bod and his ability to leap into the air with all his feet off the ground. He says he's an all-natural beauty with a soft and beautiful cream-colored coat with many charcoal patches that he claims he didn't get from a salon! He hasn't let it go to his head though and is happy to ask for cuddles on the couch, let you know when he needs to out outside to potty, and he's eager to learn obedience cues and tricks.
Standing as tall as a small pony, Georgie can scale a 4-foot fence easily so he needs a more secure backyard or supervision when outside. He loves being in our yard at the shelter and will happy, and quietly, sunbathe, people watch and play with his toys for hours.
Georgie has met older children and played well with canine friends. He radiates pure joy with his big smile and is the TOTAL package for a variety of families.

Josie
Josie is a beautiful senior female whose estimated birthdate is 9/22/2005. She is a front declawed long haired brown patch tabby who just lost her home because her mom is terminally ill. She was initially adopted in 2008 with her brother who has gone to The Rainbow Bridge. Josie has not been around dogs and doesn’t have much experience with children, but she needs a home where an adult will take time with her. In StreetCats she is now coming out and is friendly around other cats and adults.
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.

Sativa
Sativa is one of her foster's favorites of all time! She looks like a puppy mostly because she is less than 25 pounds and is as cute as a button! She was found as a stray in the country. While she was very shy at first, she has opened up and become a very outgoing little girl. She gets along with other dogs; in fact, she loves them! She did great in the crate from the very first day too. She is super affectionate but loves giving loves herself! What more could you ask for? Sativa is spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated and is available for adoption through Compassionate Animal Rescue Efforts.

Dolly
It seems Dolly was abandoned by her last family because she and her kitten randomly appeared and took up residence on a porch and refused to leave. Luckily, the owner of the home fed them and made sure they got to safety. Her son has been adopted, and Dolly is ready to find a home of her own! Dolly loves people but would prefer to be the only pet in her household. She promises to be so much fun and full of love you don't even want another cat!

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.

Sammie
Sammie is a female brown tabby whose estimated birthdate is 5/18/19. She’s outgoing and friendly once she trusts you. She loves to eat wet food and drink from a faucet. She gets along with other cats in StreetCats but is not a buddy to any of them. She is active and roams around StreetCats before settling down for a nap.
She was initially found at an office and kept in a separate room until she could come into StreetCats as the rescuer had senior cats and a dog that doesn’t like cats.
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.

Pink Floyd
Here's our rocker Pink Floyd! He kind of looks like it with those cool whiskers and different colored eyes. You may have seen him listed with his sister, Willow. We found out that they actually were not bonded and do well independently! Pink Floyd's personality has really come out this past month. He really enjoys playing with the other dogs and loves running! He was born 12/19/19 so he is about 10 months old, house- and crate-trained and such a great dog. Pink Floyd is more of an independent type but will come up for a hug and pet often. He will promptly sit when told, especially when a treat is involved! And squirrels beware because he will go on patrol! Pink Floyd is neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated and is available for adoption through Compassionate Animal Rescue Efforts.

Harold
Harold must have lived through many exciting adventures before we found him wandering with his friend, Frankie. He was severely underweight and had such a bad ear infection that one of his beautiful pointy ears will never stand back up. We think it gives him character though and definitely adds to his mysterious charm!
We sometimes call him Houdini because he must have used his 6 years of life to craft his escape skills! He can open gate latches with an expert flip of his nose and enjoys checking the perimeter of any fenced-in area that he's in. This guy is looking for a secure backyard and supervision outside as he settles into his new home or could do well in an apartment setting. He is currently living in a foster home and discovering all the indoor comforts that being a loved dog has to offer! He is often found lounging on the sofa or following his new human family from room to room. He is currently only being taken out on a leash because he's in an apartment, and he's doing just fine with that.
The perks of being a bit older, you don't need quite as much exercise! We believe Harold could fit easily into a variety of loving homes.
While he enjoys lounging outside, he is quiet and content when left alone in an apartment home! He doesn't seem to enjoy the company of rowdy young dogs but could likely do well with a calmer or mellow dog such as himself. He is a bit shy still so would do best in a home without children or with older ones. Even though he lived on the streets before he is such a gentleman and wouldn't ever even think of jumping on you but does still enjoy a good game of chase once he gets to know you.
At 6 years old and 54 pounds, he could stand to gain a little more weight and still has a lot of adventures left in him! Harold is looking for a forever home to help him continue his journey from street dog to spoiled companion!

Thelma
Little Thelma is shy and confused as to how she ended up at the shelter with her siblings. She's never lived indoors before and is finding all the noise and commotion in the shelter quite overwhelming. She sometimes hides and other times barks at everything that goes by her kennel. Thelma is a dog in need of some confidence and routine to put her on the right path to being a successful indoor companion animal! A patient, kind and relaxed human who can slowly introduce her to the big world is exactly her style.
Because of her fear, she is looking for a home without young children. She might be able to live with another friendly dog but would need a slow introduction and a safe place to call her own for the first few weeks. She would do best in a quiet home, with a secure backyard.
If you are the hero Thelma needs, apply today to adopt her! We can't wait to see what a wonderful and loving dog she blossoms into! Thelma is 6 months old and only 16 pounds, so she will stay quite small! She has been spayed, microchipped, vaccinated and is current on parasite prevention.

Sage
Beautiful golden eyes! Soft droopy lips and a silky fawn coat! Sage is the complete package! This voluptuous pittie princess has been getting healthy and working on her training in a dedicated foster home for a few months now and is ready for a loving forever home.
Sage came to us with an intense skin infection on her lower back and hind quarters, likely due to a flea allergy (so it will be very important to keep Sage up to date on flea prevention). Her gorgeous coat was patchy and she was obviously very uncomfortable. Her infection is all cleared up now and most of her fur has grown back, but she still has a few scars from the experience. We've told her that they look like beauty marks and only add to her elegance and charm!
Like all of us, this girl has been putting in the hours working from home during the pandemic and has become a fantastic indoor companion! She is potty trained in her foster home and willing to be left alone either in a crate or free range without issues. Inside, she is mellow, attentive and happy to just be laying down or playing around you!
She enjoys snuggling with every human she meets. She takes her cuddle duties very seriously and at almost 60 pounds may be a bit too much for very small children, but she is working on not jumping up so often to show you that she loves you.
Sage is still a work in progress outside of the home. She is looking for a home where she can be the only dog to delight her human family, and she doesn't particularly enjoy seeing other dogs out in the world either. Like many princesses, she thinks there can be only one! Her foster mom has conditioned her to be walked with a head halter, which is great for controlling her when she sees other dogs out on walks. The Tulsa SPCA dog trainer is happy to talk to you about continued training for this issue.
Her foster mother adores her and has sponsored her adoption fee for her future home. Now, her new family can use that extra money to spoil this pretty pooch extra rotten with toys and treats!

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.

Nila
Nila is a fun, outgoing and lovable pup. She is very easy to work with and a very fast learner. She loves tug-o-war and to play fetch for hours. Nila is a ball of energy and even loves to go on runs with her “person.” She even knows a few cool tricks – balance a treat on her nose and is told the command "leave it" before being allowed to grab it; fetch her leash and she puts toys up in kennel on command. Nila is waiting for her forever home but also needs a foster. Nila is fully vaccinated, spayed, microchipped 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.

Samus
Hi! My name is Zero Suit Samus (or Samus for short), and I'm an energetic pitbull mix who needs some love. And I really mean that. I need a family who will cuddle with me because your penalty for not giving me cuddles is to hear the cry of my people. My foster dad says that based on my crying, I must have descended from pterodactyls, but that's silly because pterodactyls don't even like peanut butter. And I looove peanut butter. And treats. And strawberries. And watermelon. And anything, really. Honestly kid, if you give me your salad, I'll eat it. Don't want your broccoli? I'll take care of your problem. See that toy? It's in my stomach now. See that puke? Well, you can have your toy back.
Like all superdogs, I have an origin story: I ran across the highway and caused a 4-car pileup that I ended up underneath. It wasn’t my best choice, but it’s still a better love story than "Twilight." I have to take daily medication now, or else I have pretty severe seizures. But I like to think of my epilepsy as my unbridled superpower that the world just isn’t ready for yet.
I'm a Tulsa native, but I'm still not a fan of the Bermuda grass around here - I get allergies in the summer, so that's something you should know. Despite this, I still love running and rolling in the grass, and if you toss me a ball, I can jump and catch it in mid-air even when it's 6-feet high. I'm not exaggerating. (Pterodactyl dogs never exaggerate.) And would you mind spraying me with a hose once in a while? I love playing in water, especially when it's coming out of a tiny hose at jet-like speeds.
But if you have another dog in the home, then forget about it because I'm a single-dog dog. A lone wolf. A rebel. I will not share my toys, I will not share my food, and I will not share my family. I do just fine around other dogs in general, but once you introduce toys or food, then I get very territorial. Can we agree that I'll be your only one?
By the way, I love kids. I don't have these problems with other humans, so don't worry about bringing me home to your young ones. I am loyal to the bone. Don't believe me? Try going for a jog with me. I will keep pace with you the entire time, just running by your hip. Need me to lick the sweat off your face after an especially hot run? Baby, that's what I'm about. I'm a good dog. My foster family says so, too. I will take care of you if you let me. I'm eager to learn, I don't catch coronaviruses, and I'm housebroken. I won't poop in your Cheerios. Unless that's one of your commands, but why would it be? Don't want your Cheerios? Just let me have them instead.
Samus is fully vaccinated, spayed, microchipped and is available for adoption through Compassionate Animal Rescue Efforts.

Lady
Meet Lady the Master Squirrel Chaser! She loves to go halfway up a tree to play with the squirrel who teases her. Lady was abandoned as a young puppy (10 weeks old), along with her sister, in a house with no food. They survived on toilet water, and CARE Rescue was able to take them in and get them healthy. Due to this start in life, Lady was apprehensive of people, but now after the love and patience of her foster, she has learned that she can trust! She is great with her foster furbrother and loves the family that comes to visit. She would be fine with another dog or as a single furbaby! Lady is spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated and 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.

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.

Rocco
Rocco loves to play with everyone. He is a lover and a cuddler and has a great personality. He has high energy, loves to go on walks and is a great companion on walks. He is smart, loves his treats, frisbees, rope, balls and he will bring his favorite – a tug-o-war with rope. Rocco is 2 years old and is very low-maintenance, doesn't need/want constant attention but does love to sleep with you any chance he gets to sneak in bed. He LOVES the water and using his sniffer to find ANYTHING while out walking, hiking, shopping etc. Rocco actually prefers men first over women and he’s not much of a “in your face” right out of the gate kind of dog. He is still very leery about kids, but you can't blame him as he was abused by one previously, but does ok if they just leave him alone. Older kids would be best, but it does take him awhile to warm up to them. NO CATS because if it moves quick he goes after it. He gets along great with other dogs and he is very audible when he plays so that can take some getting used to. Rocco comes with his fair share of emotional history (don’t we all?), but he is going to be the perfect fit for that perfect someone and one of his many perks is he'll make sure you're NEVER lonely in the bathroom. Rocco is a STAR Prison Training Program graduate and is fully vaccinated, neutered, microchipped and is available for adoption through Compassionate Animal Rescue Efforts.

Will you give this little guy a chance? He won’t disappoint! Samson is fully vaccinated, neutered, microchipped and is available for adoption through Compassionate Animal Rescue Efforts.

Gizmo
Hi, I’m Gizmo. I am an almost 2-year-old Rat Terrier, and I weigh around 19 pounds. I had a bit of a rough start in my life, but my foster mom tells me things will only get better. I am having some trouble with my right eye. It’s either injured or infected, which may cause me to end up with a permanent wink. Can you find it in your heart to love me, even if I only have one eye? I promise it doesn’t stop me from being a sweet, pretty girl!
I do very well with other dogs. It can take me a little time to warm up, but I take cues very well and quickly figure out my place in the pack. I enjoy playing with other dogs and with squeaky toys! However, I’m not sure if I like cats. My foster mom is SUPER proud of me because I have not had one single accident in the house! I use the doggie door and do all of my business outside. I also do well in a crate — but ever since I’ve settled into my foster home, I don’t spend much time there anymore. Even when Mom leaves us dogs alone in the house for a while, I wait patiently until she returns.
My favorite pastime is cuddling, but I’m happy to faithfully sit close-by and wait for your attention. I have a good appetite, and I am quite athletic. I love spending time outside. Whenever one of my foster brothers or sisters goes out, I’m always the first to join them. Plus, my foster mom thinks I have been very helpful scaring off moles in the backyard, so I’ve been earning my keep!
Won’t you share my bio with your friends so I can find my fur-ever home?
Gizmo is fully vaccinated, spayed, microchipped and is available for adoption through Compassionate Animal Rescue Efforts.

Pudge
Pudge is the sweetest girl who wants to give lots of love to the right owner. She is approximately 2 years old, and she would be best in a home as the only dog and with a family who will spend time training her to be the perfect companion. She will sit and offer her paw for treats. Pudge loves to chase and retrieve her balls. She is great on a leash, and she is crate-trained. She loves to cuddle on the couch and in your lap (she thinks she is a lap dog). Pudge is housebroken but will pee if she gets in a situation that makes her anxious. She would prefer a female owner. She has lots of potential and lots of love to give to her “person.” Pudge is fully vaccinated, spayed, microchipped and is available for adoption through Compassionate Animal Rescue Efforts.

Markie
Meet Markie, and his story is a touch sad. He was adopted out of Tulsa Animal Welfare Shelter, but he ended up getting out of his person’s yard and when his people noticed, they didn’t care to look for him. CARE Rescue got a phone call from a nice man saying Markie was hanging out in his yard so we scooped him up and got him taken care of. Markie is 1½ years old, neutered, microchipped and up-to-date on all shots and preventative medication for fleas, parasites and heartworm.
Every encounter Markie has had has been a good one. He is BEYOND friendly, rolls over and submits to give you his belly and the kisses are almost endless! He even does that cute head-tilt when you make weird noises with your mouth. He's currently living with other dogs and gets glowing reports from his caretakers.
Markie was taken to the veterinary clinic where a healed pellet wound was discovered in his head so this boy has overcome a lot of mistreatment and hasn’t looked back or had any bad feelings about it. He just keeps moving forward. Markie will do best in a home with a 6-foot fence. Markie is available for adoption through Compassionate Animal Rescue Efforts.

Wallace
I am Wallace! I go by Wally though because Wallace sounds so sophisticated. I am 2 years old and potty trained! That’s a plus right? I really enjoy nice long walks outside and I like the kiddos (I have a 6- and 15-year-old at home ... Yes, they’re mine and I love them). I like to be around my people, that’s not to say I’m bad when they leave, I just get kind of anxious when that happens. I’m working on it though every day because I’m such a good boy. Not to wag my own tail but I’m a STAR prison training program graduate, and I follow commands and even though it takes some will power, I won’t even eat until you tell me to! I get along with other dogs and might even steal that warm spot on the bed when one of my people gets up in the morning (don’t judge me)! I’m ready for my forever home! Wallace is fully vaccinated, neutered, microchipped and is available for adoption through Compassionate Animal Rescue Efforts.
