Applications are open for these sweet babies! 🥳
Both large and small dogs of various breeds and mixes. 🐩

Both Oklahoma Animal Alliance and Skiatook Paws and Claws have 60+ dogs and cats from this hoarding case. Please visit them if you are considering a pet!

I was able to groom some of these pups with OAA, and would love to again if ever given the chance.
If you do adopt one of these precious babies, please provide proof of adoption and I will set you up with a complimentary first groom! 🫶🏼

Good morning, Stay Puff family! It'd be greatly appreciated if you could show some of the love you're always giving me and my page to my husband's pepper sauce brand and page - Marvin's More Than!

This is more than hot sauce. He has created each recipe to a specific taste profile and paired each one with a name and design that hints at the creativity of these sauces.

There is a sauce for every heat tolerance, from no heat to I NEED MILK NOW! So, if you have a friend or family member that loves to sauce it up in the kitchen, or a kid that hasn't met a heat they can't beat, please go visit their page and give it a follow! Maybe order a stocking stuffer or two... 😉

🐾 𝐖𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐂𝐨𝐦𝐩𝐚𝐬𝐬𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐈𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐄𝐧𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐡: 𝐖𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝟒𝟎𝟓 𝐃𝐨𝐠𝐬 𝐢𝐧 𝐒𝐭𝐫𝐨𝐮𝐝 𝐉𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐓𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐔𝐬 𝐀𝐛𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐮𝐞 𝐄𝐭𝐡𝐢𝐜𝐬 🐾

𝐹𝑟𝑜𝑚 𝑆𝑡𝑎𝑦 𝑃𝑢𝑓𝑓 𝐺𝑟𝑜𝑜𝑚𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝐿𝑜𝑢𝑛𝑔𝑒

A few days ago, 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝟒𝟎𝟎 𝐝𝐨𝐠𝐬 𝐰𝐞𝐫𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐢𝐳𝐞𝐝 from a suspected puppy mill in Stroud, Oklahoma. They were found 𝑚𝑎𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑑, 𝑓𝑖𝑙𝑡ℎ𝑦, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 𝑐𝑙𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑙𝑦 𝑠𝑢𝑓𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑔—crammed into cages, soaked in urine, and living in their own waste (Wright, 2025). The stench of ammonia was so strong, responders needed protective gear to enter the building.

This wasn’t just neglect. It was 𝐬𝐲𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐜𝐫𝐮𝐞𝐥𝐭𝐲—the kind that hides behind expired licenses, overcrowded facilities, and years of ignored complaints.

But here’s the hard truth:

𝑃𝑢𝑝𝑝𝑦 𝑚𝑖𝑙𝑙𝑠 𝑎𝑟𝑒𝑛’𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑜𝑛𝑙𝑦 𝑠𝑜𝑢𝑟𝑐𝑒 𝑜𝑓 𝑠𝑢𝑓𝑓𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑛𝑔.

Stray dogs allowed to deliver full litters in rescue settings face similar risks—just without the paperwork. Whether born in a cage or under a dumpster, puppies from unmanaged environments often carry:

🧬 Genetic uncertainty and inherited health issues
😬 Behavioral challenges from poor socialization and maternal stress
👀 Heightened fear responses and reactivity that make training and grooming traumatic

In the world of grooming, we often meet dogs at the surface—their coats, their manners, their quirks. But beneath every behavioral challenge is a story. 𝐴𝑛𝑑 𝑠𝑜𝑚𝑒𝑡𝑖𝑚𝑒𝑠, 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑠𝑡𝑜𝑟𝑦 𝑏𝑒𝑔𝑖𝑛𝑠 𝑏𝑒𝑓𝑜𝑟𝑒 𝑏𝑖𝑟𝑡ℎ.

Stray and puppy mill dogs often live in survival mode: 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐝𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞𝐫, 𝐮𝐧𝐬𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐲 𝐥𝐢𝐯𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐝𝐢𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧𝐬, 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐯𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧, 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐫𝐚𝐮𝐦𝐚. When pregnant dogs endure this high stress, it doesn't just affect them—it epigenetically shapes their puppies’ development (Canine Welfare Science 2023, Romaniuk & Croney, 2022). Through hormonal transmissions like cortisol, a stressed mother can "program" her puppies for heightened fear responses, anxiety, and poor resilience (Hekman Dvm, 2024).

These aren’t just abstract scientific concepts. They’re the realities we face on the grooming table when a dog trembles at the touch of a brush, panics at the sound of clippers, or reacts fearfully to simple handling. Puppies born into stress often require months—or years—of structured training and rehabilitative grooming before they feel safe in the human world.

At Stay Puff Grooming Lounge, we’re committed to honoring those unseen histories. We use cooperative care techniques and trauma-informed grooming to meet dogs where they are emotionally. 𝐵𝑢𝑡 ℎ𝑒𝑟𝑒’𝑠 𝑡ℎ𝑒 𝑝𝑎𝑟𝑡 𝑡ℎ𝑎𝑡 𝑛𝑒𝑒𝑑𝑠 𝑡𝑜 𝑏𝑒 𝑠𝑎𝑖𝑑 𝑜𝑢𝑡 𝑙𝑜𝑢𝑑:

𝐏𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬. Rescues and shelters have tough decisions to make. Allowing full-term stray pregnancies might feel compassionate—but when those puppies enter the world already wired for distress, the burden of healing shifts to trainers, groomers, and adopters.

We advocate for 𝑟𝑒𝑠𝑝𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑏𝑙𝑒 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑎𝑘𝑒 𝑝𝑟𝑜𝑡𝑜𝑐𝑜𝑙𝑠, 𝑒𝑎𝑟𝑙𝑦 𝑠𝑝𝑎𝑦 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑒𝑟𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠, 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ℎ𝑜𝑛𝑒𝑠𝑡 𝑐𝑜𝑛𝑣𝑒𝑟𝑠𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛𝑠 about what ethical rescue really means. The science of maternal stress and epigenetics reminds us that 𝐚𝐧𝐢𝐦𝐚𝐥 𝐰𝐞𝐥𝐟𝐚𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐞𝐠𝐢𝐧𝐬 𝐛𝐞𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞 𝐛𝐢𝐫𝐭𝐡—and must be met with strategy, not sentimentality.

Let’s work together to change the narrative from reactive rescue to proactive care. Because every dog deserves a life shaped by kindness—not cortisol.

𝐀𝐝𝐨𝐩𝐭 𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐩𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐢𝐛𝐥𝐲. 💖

Can a highly stressful environment during pregnancy affect how puppies turn out? Studies aren't conclusive, but are suggestive.
