Okandogs

IT IS ALL ABOUT CARING. In 2014, my wife, Jan and I, started trying to help Okanogan area dogs. There is no public money available at all to help out.

There are no funded Humane Societies or shelters for Okanogan County dogs. Any effort has to come from the private sector both in terms of money and effort. We have been successful in helping almost 6400 dogs so far. We have done this by rapidly responding to dogs in need and by building confidence and trust. Our successful adoption rate nears 100% through the use of carefully chosen transfer part

ners who put local area dogs first. The euthanasia rate and overall fatality rate is almost nil. As trust in us grows more people have chosen to follow us and to participate in our cause. We maintain a vet emergency fund to assist injured and ill dogs who have no other resources available. We have a program that provides free stay at home spay for mama dogs when pup litters are entrusted to us. We are a 501(c)(3) non profit organization #84-3829266 Donations to help out are critical and can be made via paypal.com/us/fundraiser/charity/3920392 or sent to Okandogs, 6820 Osprey Lane, Cashmere, WA 98815. Business bank transfers are also available

🐾If you love the beauty of a Husky, but prefer a gentle, laid-back, and relatively quiet dog, Mina is your girl! 🐾

Contrary to her husky/malamute breed, Mina prefers to take things at her own leisurely pace, content to simply observe the world around her. However, when the spirit moves her, Mina is ready for an exciting adventure!🗻🌲

🐕Mina loves people and most other dogs and she finds joy in simply hanging out with everyone she meets. She’s a beautiful representative of her breed (with one blue and one brown eye), searching for a home with people that she can call her own. 🏡

🎬Check out this video of Mina:

🐾❤️Meet Devina, a staff favorite that loves everyone she comes in contact with! She'll lean up against you, hoping for a doggy massage. She is a sweet, affectionate girl, seeking acreage to call home.❤️🐾

Devina appears to be a cross between a livestock guarding breed 🐑🐐, possibly an Anatolian or Great Pyrenees, and exhibits some of their traits. Devina not a fan of being enclosed in a crate and she can climb fences, but she doesn’t roam; she simply wants to stay on her property and hang out with her family.

She’s between one and two years old, forms strong bonds with people ❤️, gets along well with other dogs 🐶, walks well on a leash, and is an absolutely wonderful dog. 😍

💥💥To adopt her, please submit an adoption application at:

We are so grateful to rescue partner, for taking in mama dog Rhonda and her five cute puppies. And a special thank you to the Omak resident who said, "I found a dog with a litter of puppies, it was cold so I took them in." She lovingly housed them, took them to the vet, and ensured they received the care they needed. Unfortunately, she could not hold them any longer due to her landlord's demands.

Rhonda will stay in Cashmere for further vet care while puppies will enter a new chapter of their lives in the tender care of Humane Society

Incredibly touching to see our community come together to help pets in need. orgs working hand in paw with our community. We can make miracles happen!

Help homeless pets like Rhonda and her puppies by donating to a rescue near you.

Please help us find Leia a home 🏡 for the holidays! This beautiful Border Collie mix has been with Okandogs since January 2023 and we don't want to celebrate her 2 year anniversary with us 😢

This smart, active girl would love a place with room to run and play. She knows all her commands (sit, down, stay and heel) and has been working on hurdles and cones with our trainer. She enjoys the company of other dogs, but may be a little intense for a home with small children.

Check out her Petfinder profile with a recent video of her in our playfield, and if you think that she may be the perfect fit for you (or someone that you know), complete an application!

If you would consider fostering her to give her a break from shelter life, that works too.

LIAM WENT TO THE VET YESTERDAY FOR AN ASSESSMENT BY DR. COLIN BONNETT. You may recall he was born with 3 legs and a stub. Doctor Bonnett says there are no changes called for at present. It turns out, the stub actually includes a functional elbow. There is a possibility that, as an adult, he could be fitted with a prosthesis, but that is purely an option. As it is, he can tear around the house at a near normal speed. He thinks nothing is wrong. Liam is 9 weeks old and he is a pure love.

Liam is available for adoption, applications submitted at https://www.cognitoforms.com/okandogs1/dogadoptionapplication

A couple of months ago, CHINO was taken to a vet in Okanogan with instructions that he be put down. He had a broken back leg. OKANDOGS was contacted and we agreed to take over his care. He was presented to Dr. COLIN BONNETT at Cascade Vet in Wenatchee. It turns out the break was pretty straightforward, involving only the upper femur. A plate was applied, and he was sent home. Now the wound is fully healed and Dr. Bonnett said he is ready for adoption. There should be no after affects. Chino will grow into a pretty large dog and a very nice one. I feel he is the most handsome shepherd I have ever seen. He is very well proportioned. Online applications at https://www.cognitoforms.com/okandogs1/dogadoptionapplication .

Our pups decided to let us know that we are low on supplies (they are especially concerned about running out of treats and chews!). With several brand new litters of puppies, we are also burning through cleaning supplies. If you can help, please visit our Amazon Wishlist. As always, your donations are much appreciated! https://a.co/hGoEmrc

Puppies

Little GEMMA is feeling better. We now allow short outings on our carpet. WE just did a post on a white eleven year old Pom comforting a man with mild Alzheimers. Aren't they such a plus? in the comments, mention is made of the pups having heart trouble. It may be Gemmas scheduled surgery will keep that from happening.

Our Story

Three years ago, my wife Jan and I started trying to help Okanogan area dogs. There are no funded Humane Societies or shelters for Okanogan County dogs. There is no public money available at all to help out. Any effort has to come from the private sector both in terms of money and effort. We have been successful in helping almost 1900 dogs so far. We have done this by rapidly responding to dogs in need and by building confidence and trust. Our successful adoption rate nears 100% through the use of carefully chosen transfer partners who put local area dogs first. The euthanasia rate and overall fatality rate is less than 1%. So far almost all of our efforts have been paid for out of pocket. Most of our original expenses were out of pocket. As trust in us grows more peopled have chosen to donate. We maintain a vet emergency fund to assist injured and ill dogs who have no other resources available.We have become a 501(c)(3) non profit organization #01-0555614. Donations to help out are critical in the life saving work that we do and can be made through Facebook here: https://www.facebook.com/fund/OKANDOGS/
