Pawsitively adorable: Meet 58 adoptable dogs and cats looking for love
Mr. Frederickson
Mr. Frederickson was abandoned at 8 years old, dumped over a fence into someone's backyard. He had a puncture wound and terrible skin. His finder got him safely to us and we were so happy to welcome this gentle old-timer into our program!
Have you seen the Disney movie "Up"? Carl Frederickson is exactly who his canine gentleman reminded us of! He came to us as a curmudgeonly old man, full of sorrow and pain, but as his journey progressed, we've found him to have a heart of pure gold!
Mr. Frederickson might look melancholy alone in his kennel, but outside, he loves to follow you wherever you go and now has some energy to frolic after toys and pounce around if you chase him!
While we might never know the story of Mr. Frederickson's past, we are here to make sure his future is as bright and free-flying as a loose helium balloon! He is 53 punds, neutered, vaccinated, up to date on prevention, micro-chipped and ready to find his forever home!
Mr. Fredrickson is currently relaxing in one of our fantastic foster homes. In this home, he is potty trained, mellow and a joy to be around! As a senior dog, he is facing some mild mobility issues (he cannot get up a flight of stairs, so no second-story apartment homes for this guy) and will likely need continued medical care to keep him comfortable and mobile as he continues to age.

Juke
Meet Juke. His original owner decided that he was too much of a bother and was going to have Juke euthanized. A young lady with a big heart decided that she couldn’t let that happen. Now, we need to find Juke the home he wants and deserves. Juke is a 2-year-old American Staffordshire terrier mix at a solid 68 lovable pounds. These dogs were bred to be family dogs, and he is definitely that. He loves kids and loves playing with other dogs, whether they’re big or small. Juke is a playful pup and one of his favorite things is making new friends at the dog park. If you pick up a leash and ask him if he wants to go, he will probably beat you to the car with a doggie smile on his face. Juke loves to sit as close to you as you wish. And when it’s bedtime, he snuggles in for the night. He will let you know when he has to go outside and he doesn’t mind the crate when you have to leave without him. Juke is very smart and especially eager to please his people. While his foster family absolutely loves him, they aren’t able to adopt or they would. We know the right family is out there! Juke is neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated and is available for adoption through Compassionate Animal Rescue Efforts.

Slate
Slate is an easy-to-love kitty! He has an awesome temperament and loves everyone he meets! He seems to get along with other cats but prefers active cats to play with him. His foster family absolutely loves having him in their home! They say he is fun, playful, sweet and he is litter box trained.
Slate is about 2 years old and has been neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, and is current on parasite prevention. He tested positive for FIV, which just means Slate will need to be kept indoors and up to date on vet care to ensure he stays healthy.

Chrissy
This sweet face belongs to Chrissy, a 6-year-old chihuahua. She was very fearful when we first got her but has since come out of her shell. Chrissy’s favorite place to be is in your lap, and she loves to cuddle up next to you in bed. Her foster mom said if you are “looking for a lap dog, she is the best one!” Chrissy loves other dogs but REALLY loves cats! They are her favorite! She is always up for going places and even enjoyed the day at a pumpkin patch with her foster family! If you might have some love (and a warm lap) to share with this girl, she would reward you tenfold! Chrissy is spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated and is available for adoption through Compassionate Animal Rescue Efforts.

Sable has a lot of love to give and is spayed, microchipped, fully vaccinated and is available for adoption through Compassionate Animal Rescue Efforts.

Fisher
Fisher is a people-loving cat. He loves to be in your lap or on your shoulder, but when the mood strikes, he'll unleash his wild and crazy side. Once he's ready to curl up again, he might let you know with a little croaky meow.

Toby
Grumpy was my name but I'm anything but, so my new name is Toby! I am as happy they come! My foster mom says I am the "goodest" boy! I love to be outside and play, but my favorite thing is treats. I'll do just about anything for a treat. I sit, lay down, come when called and I am learning how to shake hands. I even learned to go on daily runs with my person and didn’t trip them once! I have so much love to give and can't wait to find my forever home! Grumpy/Toby is one of the seven dwarfs surrendered with his mother. He was born approximately 10/20/19. He is energetic, super friendly and would do great as an only dog! Kitties and Toby are a no-go. He thinks they are small dogs for him to play with and they do not appreciate it. Toby is neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated and is available for adoption through Compassionate Animal Rescue Efforts.

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.

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.

Lemmy
Lemmy is an energetic kitten who loves to play! He's very curious and will explore new areas any chance he gets. His appetite for adventure is almost as big as his appetite for food — he will always finish whatever his brother hasn't eaten. If you've got toys, treats and attention, Lemmy would love to be your kitten!

Oakley
Oakley is a 3-year-old male mastiff mix who is available for adoption through a private foster, sponsored by Altruism Inc. rescue. He loves the company of other dogs and is good with all people, but he would do best in a home with older children. Oakley is sweet, obedient and very smart! He knows many commands and has spent time in pup training. Based on his experience, it is believed that he needs a calmer home that has routine and structure. Oakley is neutered, up to date on vaccinations, heartworm negative and on prevention. Email jlthorn824@gmail.com to inquire further.

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.

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.

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.

Giana
Giana was dumped in a rural area and is so happy to have been rescued! She adores people and wants to be near them always.

Giana seems to do well with other dogs and settles down nicely indoors.
Giana is about 1½ years old and weighs about 51 pounds. She is spayed, vaccinated, heart worm tested, microchipped and is current on parasite prevention.

Allan
Allan is a sweet brown tabby with an estimated birthdate of 11/28/2016. He’s still a little laidback in StreetCats, but he also is a great lap cat once you get him out of his hidey hole. He was left in a closed bookstore in May and then rescued by a foster mom along with his siblings. His foster mom said he is very intelligent and sometimes playful. He is used to eating wet food. It seems like he’d be a great kitty for anyone.
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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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!

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.

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.

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.

Buster is one of the coolest dogs you would ever meet! He's about 1½ years old and has TONS of personality! And those ears!!! He loves all people and is great with most dogs, but no cats please!

He would make a great family member for any size family! Buster is neutered, microchipped, fully vaccinated and is available for adoption through Compassionate Animal Rescue Efforts.

Diego
Just look at this sweet face! Diego has such a sweet spirit and loves being around people. He was found wandering the streets with his friend Dora. 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! He does well with other dogs, always wagging his tail to welcome and he seldom barks. He knows to wait to go potty outside and is ever so gentle taking treats and food. He is looking for his forever family! Diego is neutered, 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.

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.

Samson

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.

Gypsy is a beautiful Basenji mix female around 3.5 years old and she is very smart and sweet! She is crate/house-trained. This girl had a rough start in life and was adopted out previously. She was returned after almost 3 years! No fault of her own, so don’t hold that against her because it wasn’t anything she did wrong.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
