Saving Whiskers and Tails

11/05/2024

Hey everyone, this is Erin. I'm going to be honest.

I need your help. Rez needs your help.

We've tried finding Rez a home. We've contacted other rescues, in and out of state. No one could help. We've posted in many Facebook groups. No one was interested. The ONE person who was interested ghosted him and us.

Rez is no longer thriving in his foster home and the foster is unable to keep him any longer. We don't have another foster lined up.

I don't know what to do. I want what is best for Rez, but without a place to go, I can't help him.

Please, I need someone, anyone's help. If you can foster him, even for a short time, Rez and I would be forever thankful.

Thank you.

Dear friends and fellow animal lovers,

Today, I come to you with a heavy heart and an urgent plea for help. There is a sweet dog in desperate need of a stable, loving home—a home where he can finally feel safe and cherished. This precious soul has experienced trauma that has left him anxious and unsure of the world around him.

Rez needs someone who is patient and kind, someone who can offer him the time and love he so desperately needs. This dog thrives on gentle encouragement and stability, and I believe he would flourish in a rural setting where he can roam free and explore the beauty of nature. Imagine him running through open fields, feeling the grass beneath his paws, and discovering the joy of being a dog once more.

It’s important to note that Rez tends to bond better with women, finding comfort in their nurturing presence. He needs a guardian who understands the delicate balance of building trust and providing reassurance. With your patience and guidance, he can learn to let go of his past and embrace a brighter future.

Please, if you have a space in your heart and home for this deserving dog, reach out. He is waiting for someone to believe in him, to show him that not all humans are unkind. Together, we can give him the chance he needs to heal and to become the loving companion he was always meant to be.

Let’s unite to give this dog the home he needs and deserves. Time is of the essence, and every moment counts. Please help spread the word and let’s find him the loving family he longs for.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

🎵 I'm Blue da ba dee da ba di 🎵

Introducing Blue! This cutie turned up to a caring person's house, who has been trying to find his family. Unfortunately, no one has claimed him!

Blue is a sweet boy who loves pets, and of course, play time!

If you are able to foster Blue, or provide him with a forever home, please reach out! We know he will be a great addition to any family. 💖

Are you as obsessed with these two cuties as much as we are?! If you answered yes, then we need YOUR help!

We’re stuck on what to name them! We’d love to hear your suggestions—get as creative as you like!

The boy (left) is super cuddly and relaxed. He loves to be in a lap!
The female (right) is one fiesty gal. If she doesn't get her way, she doesn't let you hear the end of it!
Both are just so sweet and love attention.

Drop your name ideas in the comments, and we’ll pick our favorites!

Thanks for helping us name these little cuties! 🐾💕

Spread the word!

This girl was found near Rocklahoma. Surely her family is missing her!

A cruel person decided to drop these young puppies off at a random house Halloween night. They were covered in fleas and ticks. They needed help.

A very kind person stepped up to help them, taking them in and providing food and shelter.

We went to pick them up today and couldn't believe someone abandoned them. They are just the sweetest.

They are with a foster now but will be available for adoption once we get them healthy. ❤️

Keep an eye out!

These two will be available for adoption soon!

The day has come, it's time for me to say goodbye. It is both sad and exciting. I need to move on to other interests (like grandkids 🥰 and gardening). Lindsay, Lisa, Loren, Richard, Gary and a few other faithful volunteers started SWAT with two neglected Great Danes. Since then, with your help, we have taken in over 450 pets off the streets of Mayes and surrounding Counties.
I hope you show Erin the same compassion, support, and friendship that you've shown me over the years; thank you all.
I'll leave you with this; Please take good care of the animals in your care and help your neighbors take care of theirs. It takes a village. ❤

Duke still has zero interest in him. What's the deal?!

Duke would be great with an outdoor enthusiast looking for a friend to join in on adventures. He loves exploring the outdoors, whether its a leisurely stroll in a park or a hike in the woods!

Duke gets along well with both people, including children, and other dogs. He's very eager to please and would do well with someone who enjoys spending time outside.

If you're looking for your next hiking partner or garden buddy, Duke is the boy for you!

This silly boy has been enjoying daily walks and having fun on playgrounds while waiting for his forever home!

And get this -- Duke is fully potty trained! He took less than a week to learn; imagine what else he can do!

Duke is fully vaccinated and neutered. His adoption fee is only $40 and he is ready to find his home!

Not only was Rez stood up by his would-be adopter, he was also photobombed by the Munchkin :/
Rez' foster family is sponsoring all but $25 of his adoption fee to the right family. He is fully vetted, heartworm (-), house trained, has basic manners, and just the most loveable guy ever. He needs room to run and a family to love. Stay tuned for his All About Rez video.
