Saving Oklahoma's shelter pets from euthanasia by relocating them to out of state Shelter partners. Please consider being a hero...it feels great!
(54)

Shortly after relocating to Oklahoma, I quickly realized the horrific situation shelter dogs in Oklahoma are in. The shelter system, Foster homes, & Rescues are all FULL and many pets are being euthanized DAILY as a result. What makes this different from other states is that here, in Oklahoma, humane euthanizing is not required by law. It's one of the few states where Gas Chambers, Heartsick, and

Gunshot is still legal and being used daily to destroy healthy and adoptable pets. These pets don't even get a loving touch and the comfort of a gentle voice telling them they are so sorry. Their owners were irresponsible and as a result, they must pay the ultimate price. They leave this earth in horrific pain...a loving pet who did nothing to deserve such a demise except find their way into an Oklahoma kill shelter. We relocate these shelter pets to No Kill shelters and Rescues in other states where they will be quickly adopted by a loving family and given the home they so deserve. I would like to ask you to join our cause by making a tax deductible donation through our webpage www.fetchfidoaflight.com or page. With your generous donation we can continue to fly these dogs out of Oklahoma and give them the chance they would never get here...a chance to live.

FYI! I found conflicting information on this but to be safe…DON’T use gel caps!

Please make sure to check labels of anything you give to your dogs! Xylitol (Birch Sugar) is DEADLY to dogs. Did you know almost all gum is sugar free? If your dog gets into a child’s backpack when they smell watermelon gum or some other gum that smells yummy, it takes VERY little time for them to start showing life threatening symptoms. This includes already chewed gum someone has spit out on the ground! Most people don’t know how deadly gum is to a dog.

NOW is the time to plan for your pets safety over the fireworks season. More pets go missing during fireworks than any other time of year….shelters get inundated with animals during this time!

The difference between your pet getting euthanized in a kill shelter or being returned to you is simple...a VALID phone number on a collar. Fireworks are traumatizing for dogs...make sure they are INDOORS in a safe place. Dogs jump fences and have jumped through glass doors and windows in a panic. Be responsible and make sure they are safely INSIDE!! No one expects their animal to go missing...but you can plan for it! Shelters are all full and euthanizing in most States. With the 4th of July upon us, it’s about to get A LOT worse!!! HAVE VALID ID ON YOUR PET! In the very least, write it on their collar with a sharpie on the OUTside where it’s clearly visible, not on the inside as shown !!! Use a Thunder shirt, cbd treats for dogs (purchase at petsmart), keep music or tv on inside to help mask the noise, and close curtains so they don’t see the flashes. Pick up ALL leftover firework debris…it’s toxic when animals lick or eat it off the ground. If you don’t own pets, be thoughtful of others who do and cleanup after yourself. Dogs are not people, they do not appreciate the show so LEAVE THEM HOME in a safe place! Be responsible…you owe that to your loyal pet.

FYI…the Sharpie works for horses and other live stock also…just write your number on them somewhere.

Heads up everyone! One of our rescue dogs, Lily, was saved 15 yrs ago with an expensive surgery to remove a piece of cob that blocked, and was about to perforate, her intestines.

Living with a dog consists of 90% following each other around, watching each other go potty, and wondering what the other has in their mouth 😂

I wish every culture thought of their pets like this❤️

Such an amazing idea! OKLAHOMA (and other states with animal shelter overpopulation) need to take a page from this shelters play book!!!

***********************************************

An animal shelter in Texas posted something along the lines of "if you are an adult and don't want people to know you are playing pokemon, we will rent our shelter dogs to you for $5 an hour so it looks like you are walking your dog." Haha, right? Here are some of the results so far:

1) They now have a waiting list of people who want to PAY FOR THE PRIVILEGE OF WALKING A DOG.

2) They have made so much money in "rental fees" that they have waived adoption fees.

3) When the people renting the dogs are out walking, and post pictures of themselves playing the game on FB and Instagram, people are then coming to the shelter asking to adopt specific dogs.

4) On at least two occasions, people have called the shelter and said "Hey, i didn't think I wanted a dog. But me and THIS dog get along REALLY well. I'm not bringing him back"

5) The shelter currently has no dogs avaliable to rent, and there is a waiting list. Because all of the dogs have been adopted!! They are currently bringing dogs in from a different shelter to be "rented"

It’s ALWAYS mating season but you get the idea…for the love of all that’s Holy, SPAY / NEUTER your pets!!

SPAY and NEUTER, friends.

Every time rescue is asked to take an owner surrender- we have to somehow make room on our little raft for that dog. When an owner says stuff like “I don’t have time to give them the best life” or “I have to move” or “they have too much anxiety” it really falls flat because that means if we bring them on the raft, another dog out there in the freezing water gets to die.

Every day in rescue we adjudicate life and death by gate keeping who can get on the boat. Rescues and shelters are the tiny rescue boats. The ship is our community at large.
The iceberg is comprised of careless owners, backyard breeders, and people who refuse to spay/neuter.

Please be kind to strays..they didn’t ask for a life of freezing, starving, and neglect. If you have strays, or just irresponsible owners who leave their cats outside without shelter, please consider putting out shelter boxes for them to escape the freezing weather. If you don’t have strays in your neighborhood, you can always make some to put out in other areas where you see them. Being compassionate toward animals is such a cool thing. Here is just one example of making a cheap box. NOTE: i would use duck tape and wrap around it also OR put the styrofoam box inside a tote with entrance holes lined up, and add another layer of straw between the styrofoam and the tote and tape the tote closed. USE STRAW, NOT hay.

Did you know???

Shelters are full of seniors that get overlooked every day. They make wonderful companions!!!!!

Costumes can be scary for dogs so if your dog is one of those, dont forget to put them in a bedroom or other isolated place for the evening! Happy Halloween!

As parents, it’s our responsibility to teach our children boundaries around animals. How to be patient, respectful, and kind to all pets. Not allowing our children to hit, sit on, bounce on, or lay on dogs. This sounds like a huge DUH but every day you see videos of parents who allow their kids to do these things and they think it’s soo cute….all up until the dog becomes no longer tolerant and nips or bites the child in defense because it’s tired of being hurt. It is not the pets responsibility to know how to tolerate your children! Pets should NOT be a Christmas present unless the parents understand that this is a 15 year commitment of vet care, scooping p**p, buying food, paying for grooming, paying for boarding when you decide to take a family vacation, etc….if you cannot be the owner a pet deserves, just DON’T get a pet! Shelters are inundated with owner surrenders before Christmas (so owner can get a new puppy or dog and no longer want the one they have), and after Christmas (those surrendering puppies who SURPRISINGLY p**p, chew up kids toys/walls/furniture, bark, dig, or the kids aren’t picking up after it 🤦‍♀️, or the owner has an epiphany they all the sudden don’t have time for a pet). Those of us in rescue work so hard saving those without a voice and all we ask is that if you are a pet owner…be a loving and responsible owner. A pet isn’t a pair of shoes that you can wear for a bit and if you decide you don’t like them, return it. If you are on the fence about owning a pet…BEFORE you adopt or make that commitment…you can foster to see if it’s a good fit!! If this is an avenue you would like to consider, fill out our foster interest form and we will match you up with a rescue who would love to save an animal but have no where for them to go!!

Our grand dog, Hendrix…a Fetch Fido A Flight Alumni, formally known as Woodward. This dog is such an Ambassedor for the breed and makes us laugh every day. He was dumped in a park in Woodward Oklahoma and taken to the local kill shelter. He was submitted for our flight and got a one way ticket to Oregon Humane! So proud Fetch Fido A Flight was able to save him and even prouder that he ended up in our family! He is living his best life now with my kids/grandkids in Oregon!
