UPDATE! Rocky was adopted today and our 2 other GSD mixes went on trial! I encourage everyone interested to contact Oklahoma German Shepherd Rescue, Inc.for their new best friend! They are beyond full and have tons of great dogs for adoption!

Yesterday was the worst adoption event day we’ve had in years. 😣

We had maybe 5 people come in to look. Only one person adopted right at close and it was a Yorkie. 💔💔💔💔

Our generic, large breed dogs aren’t getting looked at, at all.

They aren’t being chosen by transport partners.

They are stuck, stagnant, here in Oklahoma where we are completely over saturated with animals.

Even pure bred adult dogs are sitting in boarding, without even foster offers. 😢

Rocky is just one of 50+ dogs who will be on our adoption floor today waiting and hopeful for families to see their worth.

Rocky is a 5 year old German shepherd. He’s very well behaved and likes other dogs. He is not cat friendly. We are told he has a service dog background but have no details regarding that.

Come out and see us and take home a new best friend!

When the owners said ‘I love you’ to their pets, a study found that their dog’s heart rates increased to 98 beats per minute – a 46.2% increase.

The research also showed that cuddling calms your dog can bring down their heart rate. According to the study, this resulted in a 22.7% decrease from 67 bpm to 52 bpm.

Then human-animal bond can be the most beautiful, healing connection for both beings 🥹

PSA: We adopted our dog, Rowdy, from the shelter 5 years ago. He was already an adult dog, so we estimate he is about 11 or 12 years old at this point. I love this dog. He is the sweetest soul and my BFF. For the past week or so he hasn’t been acting like himself. He licked a raw spot on his foot. He was panting constantly. He was pacing. Sunday morning, the pacing and panting got so bad, and I was REALLY nervous that there was something seriously wrong with him. For 45 minutes, he panted like crazy and constantly paced back and forth. He was keeping his tail tucked down all the time. His ears were pinned back. He would not settle down and he wouldn’t eat. We tried everything. I ended up giving him a trazadone that he takes sometimes when he goes to the groomer. It seemed to take a little bit of the edge off, but not much. He still wouldn’t eat and still wouldn’t settle. I took off work on Monday so I could take him to the vet. We did bloodwork and x-rays. Knowing he is a senior dog, I was trying to prepare myself for the worst case scenario. I was glad to see his bloodwork was great except for some elevated liver enzymes. The x-rays showed he was a little backed up but no major issues. He got an anti-nausea injection and some Gabapentin to help with some tenderness in his back and to hopefully help keep him calm. When we got home, he was ok for a little bit, but eventually started pacing and panting again. We walked around the neighborhood for a long time and he used the bathroom a lot. He seemed pretty happy about that and was in good spirits until we got home and he refused to come back in the house. Every time I took him out that evening, he would hunker down like he didn’t want to come back in the house. When my vet called and I gave her the update, she suggested there may be some new electronic device in the house that was emitting a high frequency noise that is hurting his ears. We had just put new smart outlets in the house about a week ago. His pacing and panting were worse when the lamps were on, so I unplugged all the smart outlets. He stopped panting, stopped pacing, and ate his food. His tail was even up and wagging again. When I plugged the smart outlets all back in and asked Alexa to turn on the lamps, he immediately started panting and pacing again. My husband used an app to test the frequency of the smart outlets. It was off the charts. We've left the outlets unplugged for two days and have confirmed that it is definitely the smart outlets that are causing his stress and discomfort. He's back to being a totally normal dog now. I really thought this was the end for Rowdy based on the way he was acting. I am so thankful for Dr. Newell at BoonesCreek AnimalHospital for figuring out this simple solution. If your pets are exhibiting similar symptoms, you may want to consider checking your electronics first. I cannot express how relieved I am that he is ok now. 😭♥️🐶

We need a temporary foster for a pug! Let us know if you can help! 🐾

This is why we stress getting your pets spayed and neutered!!!! While taking 10 puppies in for vaccines at a low cost shot clinic, another rescue brought in 32 puppies, most had been dumped in ditches, alongside the road, out the open, found in buckets, boxes, or running loose. These babies were dumped, deserted, left to fend for themselves!!

There are all kinds of programs out there to help if you need help with spaying or neutering. Contact Lancaster Animal Project, local veterinarians or other rescues in your area. Also please support Animal rescues that are taking care of all the unwanted and neglected pets in your area.

It takes a Village, even in Animal Rescue! A shout out to Adopt A Stray Rescue in Benton Arkansas who answered our plea for help with dog food. Lancaster Animal Rescue is helping a disabled veteran to get veterinary care for 3 stray dogs that he took in and their two surprise litters of 10 puppies. He was in need of help to get dog food for all of them and we are grateful to Adopt A Stray Rescue for being part of our village!

Lancaster Animal Rescue is a small rescue in Arkansas wanting to do big things. We know there are hundreds of animals out there needing to be rescued from their situations. People say you can’t save them all, but we say we can save one animal at a time and make a difference in that one precious life.
We have been working with a disabled veteran who took in 3 stray dogs and the two females each surprised him with a litter of puppies within a month. We started working on vetting the puppies getting them ready to be listed for adoption. We got a call that one puppy was barely hanging on and wasn’t going to make it much longer. One of our rescue members acted quickly , getting the puppy to a vet. Parvo was the diagnosis! When it seemed hopeless to save the pup, we cried, we prayed, but we didn't give up hope. Two days later the puppy is almost back to being a healthy normal puppy! We made a difference with that puppy and will continue one animal at a time.

Does anyone know of any pet food pantries in the Little Rock Arkansas area? We are trying to help a struggling disabled veteran with his dogs. We have been helping with the vetting of the dogs and puppies but he needs help with the routine care of them now.

Hi, my name is Sarah, I am a single mature female, slightly full figured, looking for a companion who likes to cuddle. My vision is impaired but I can see my way into your heart and lap. I can keep your lap warm for as many hours a day as you want. I sleep well in my own bed but would be happy to sleep in yours. I am a happy girl, even though I have been treated badly in the past. I'm looking for my happily ever after!
P.S. I am house trained, crate trained and leash trained, spayed, current on vaccinations. And I am working on my figure, eating lots of green beans! 😊

If interested in Sarah, contact Lancaster Animal Rescue or fill out adoption application.

Hi I'm Brinley. I am full of energy and love hanging out with my foster parents. I am good with children but big men scare me. My foster parents have 3 cats around me and we do ok but I would prefer to be an only pet since I am not a big fan of other dogs. I love to snuggle, I am potty trained, leash trained, utd on shots and recently spayed. I am about two years old and weigh 47 pounds. Please help me find my forever home. If interested in adopting me, you can fill out an adoption application.

After a long day at work, it’s typical to want to wind down and relax with something that melts away the stress of the day. A long bath, a cold drink, a good show. Police work is especially stressful and police dogs have to find other ways to wind down. One police dog in Post Falls, Idaho, recieve...

We’re so glad the shelter accepted the dog, too.

There is no greater truth than the one that says, “dogs love their owners more than they love themselves.” This proved to be true once again, and this time the whole world learned of how one brave dog stood up for his owner who was abused by her boyfriend and risked his own life for the sake of ...
