Both girls are SAFE!

🚨 **URGENT: Haven & Harmony Will Die Tomorrow!** 🚨

Y'all met Haven & Harmony last week: two beautiful and loving German Shepherds who need your help TODAY. These sweet girls are facing euthanasia TOMORROW if we can't find them a forever home. 🐾💔 They are simply out of time.

Oklahoma's animal shelters & pounds are insanely overwhelmed. An ongoing animal welfare crisis means too many innocent animals are being killed due to lack of space and resources. Harmony and Haven are the next victims if no one steps up to give them the love and safety they deserve, NOW!

Haven and Harmoney are not just dogs—they are gentle souls full of love, loyalty, and potential. They have so much to give and just need a chance to show it. By adopting them, you will make a life-saving difference.

**PLEASE, if you have room in your heart and home, consider adopting Harmony and Haven. They DO NOT have to be adopted together. If you can't adopt, share this post far and wide. Let's give them the second chance they so desperately need.**

Time is running out! Contact us IMMEDIATELY at 918-964-9560 if you can help. Let's be their voice and save their lives. 🐾❤️

02/06/2024

When it comes to protecting your livestock, the presence of a well-bred and trained livestock guardian dog (LGD) is invaluable. These dogs are not just pets; they are working members of the farm, bred for their protective instincts and ability to deter predators.

However, introducing an untrained dog to your farm with the expectation that it will instinctively protect your livestock is not only unrealistic, but also dangerous. Without proper training, these dogs may not understand their role, potentially leading to tragic consequences.

Unfortunately, the lack of training and understanding of the LGD’s role leads to many of these dogs ending up in shelters. The surge in popularity of homesteading has led to an increase in the number of LGDs being surrendered. Without the proper training and bonding to their livestock, these dogs fail to perform their duties, and overwhelmed owners often give them up. This has resulted in a crisis where rescues and shelters are inundated with LGDs, many of which face euthanasia due to the lack of resources and suitable homes.

Selecting a well-bred and trained LGD is crucial for the safety of your farm. It ensures the well-being of both your livestock and the dog. If you’re considering an LGD for your farm, make sure to source from reputable breeders who provide early-age training in a dedicated environment. Remember, these dogs are more than companions; they are guardians of your livelihood and require the right upbringing to fulfill their roles effectively. Let’s work together to reduce the number of unwanted LGDs by promoting responsible ownership and training.

Today, we pause to remember and honor the brave men and women who have made the ultimate sacrifice for our country. As a rescue team comprised of military service members & veterans, we deeply appreciate the values of courage, dedication, and service that these heroes exemplified.

Memorial Day is a solemn reminder of the freedoms we enjoy because of their selfless acts. At Circle L Rescue, we not only save animals but also strive to embody the spirit of service and commitment that our fallen heroes displayed.

Join us in honoring their legacy today. Let’s take a moment to reflect on their sacrifices and ensure their memories live on in our hearts and actions. We are forever grateful.

‼️CAUTION‼️
TAKE TIME TO READ

Our Oklahoma, North Texas, Southern Kansas, Southwest Missouri & Northwest Arkansas followers - TAKE A MOMENT TO READ!

Now is the time to take necessary measures, for your pets safety, before we move into this evening’s severe weather situation!

For dogs: USE A SHARPIE and write your name and number ON your dog’s collar! Keep a long leash (NOT RETRACTABLE) attached through the overnight hours. This can help rescuers catch your dog, if necessary.

For cats: secure them into a sturdy carrier & label the carrier with your information. Be certain the locking mechanisms and clips are in good working order.

For horses: write your information on BLANK livestock ear tags or any durable piece of plastic with SHARPIE, and braid into your horse’s mane. If there are any medical issues (like Cushing’s), include that in case a stranger has to care for your horse temporarily.

We aren’t wanting to initiate fear - but a little bit of preparation now, could mean a better outcome for your animals, in a worst case scenario. Oklahoma has already been devastated this year by several destructive tornadoes, and tonight’s risk is quite high.

PLEASE READ THE FORECAST ⤵️

From Doppler Douglas https://www.facebook.com/share/p/fezpMpbVwp2uZDZ4/?mibextid=WC7FNe

SEVERE WEATHER FORECAST FOR SATURDAY, INTO SUNDAY MORNING...

First, let's be real and honest...we have had some misses this year. We have also had some successes when it comes to these forecasts. I have had discussions with several of you about limiting my posts before a severe weather event because frankly I have not been too trusting of the model data more than 24 hours out from any given event. I don't want to hype something and get you all weary. I wish to build trust with each of you, as the only purpose of my page is to protect life.

I am taking a chance and posting today about the possibility of a severe weather event tomorrow (Saturday) evening into the overnight hours. I am seeing enough consistency in some models I trust to believe there is a real statistical possibility we could see some type of severe weather across the area tomorrow night. Most likely, storms would not get into our area until late - say after 09:00 pm in some places and possibly midnight in others.

The late-night possibility combined with Memorial Day Weekend has caused me to post today. If you have travel plans...know what county you will be in. If you will be in an RV or Tent please pay particular attention to the forecast and have a reliable way to get weather updates from the US National Weather Service or local Emergency Management officials. Not from me, not from anyone on Facebook or Twitter, true reliable experts!

Below, I have included the wording from the most recent 12:43 hours UPDATE on Friday (May 24) from the NOAA NWS Storm Prediction Center...this update is for tomorrow as that is what they consider "Day 2"... This update is valid until they publish their next one - whenever that may be...

Please refer to the attached graphics. If you are on a phone, zoom in on the respective graphics for details about hail, wind, and tornado risks. Forecasts mention "significant" hail and wind. Look for the graphics on those. There is mention of the risk of strong tornadoes - look for the graphic on that.

Now, for most of us - particularly in NE Oklahoma, SE Kansas, and SW Missouri...the higher risk of concern - as of this update is damaging winds. This risk is what has led me to post today. I am seeing some models that appear to me to show at least a reasonable statistical chance for a derecho. Please see the derecho graphic attached for a better explanation of what it is - but basically, in layman's terms a derecho is an "inland hurricane". A derecho is when a swath of significant damaging storm winds cover a large area generally more than 60 miles wide and lasts over hours, not minutes, hours. They can do tremendous damage to trees, powerlines, and structures. I have experienced three derechos in my memory in Newton and McDonald Counties over the last 25 years - in two of those events - I was personally without power for more than two days, so take that for what it is worth.

Now, to be clear, I am NOT saying we are going to have a derecho. I am also NOT saying we will experience severe weather, as again, this is 36 hours away roughly. What I am saying is this...in my mind, the statistical likelihood of a significant severe weather event is on the rise...my family has plans for this weekend to celebrate the time away from work - like many of you - my plans include a NOAA Weather Radio and activation of the option to receive emergency alerts on my phone and those phones of my family members. I hope you choose to follow suit.

I would rather you criticize me Sunday for making a post today where I was "completely off base and dramatic" than say nothing day and learn you had a tragedy tomorrow. I love you all. Tomorrow night is a time to monitor. Don't freak out, but monitor. Have a plan. Be aware. Severe weather at night, in the dark, is particularly dangerous - even more so if you are at a creek, lake, or campground where you don't really know the lay of the land.

Be safe. Have a great weekend and pray I am totally "off base and dramatic!".



Day 2 Convective Outlook
NWS Storm Prediction Center Norman OK
1243 PM CDT Fri May 24 2024

Valid 251200Z - 261200Z

...THERE IS A MODERATE RISK OF SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS OVER MUCH OF KANSAS...OKLAHOMA...AND INTO FAR WESTERN MISSOURI...

...SUMMARY...
Several strong to violent tornadoes, extreme hail, and corridors of widespread wind damage are forecast over parts of the central and southern Plains from late Saturday afternoon into the night.

...Synopsis...
A fast-moving shortwave trough will move from the Four Corners states into the central Plains on Saturday, with a deepening surface low into western KS by 00Z. A warm front will extend from northwest TX into AR Saturday morning, and will rapidly return north across OK, southern KS, and southwest MO through 00Z.

South of the warm front, a very moist and unstable air mass will develop, with mid 70s F dewpoints from TX into OK. The deeper southerly flow through 850 mb will rapidly increase late in the day, accelerating theta-e advection into the central Plains. A dryline will remain in place for much of the period from southwest KS into western OK/northwest TX.

The end result will be a rare combination of instability and shear across the Moderate Risk area, with potential for particularly strong tornadoes, wind, and extreme hail.

...Central and Southern Plains...

Much of the day will be void of storms as the warm sector develops. Rapid changes in the environment are expected during the late afternoon and evening, as the approaching upper wave interacts with the uncapped air mass. Storms are likely to form first across western NE into western KS near the developing cold front and surface low, an beneath the strongest cooling aloft. Strengthening southwest flow behind the dryline and deep mixed layers should easily support development after 21Z in this area. Very large hail is likely initially, with increasing tornado threat with long-lived supercells as they evolve eastward through the evening. Long-tracked and violent tornadoes will be possible as the low-level jet increases during the evening, while maintaining a very moist and unstable boundary layer. Extreme hail over 4.00 inches is expected with such strong instability and impressive mid to upper level wind speeds.

With time, storms are expected to merge into a severe MCS, possibly with corridors of extreme wind damage, as it proceeds into eastern KS and far western MO late.

Farther south along the dryline and within the open warm sector across OK and into TX, overall large-scale lift will be less than points north. However, at least isolated, very large supercells capable of destructive tornadoes and extreme hail will be possible with storms that form late in the day and evening and move across western and central OK and parts of northern TX.

Aside from the steeper lapse rate environment near the dryline, mesoscale conditions will need to be closely monitored for low-level confluence lines within the deepening moist sector east of the dryline. The cap will not be particularly strong or high off the ground (low LFC). Given mid 70s F dewpoints and expected late initiation, this may be a plausible scenario from northwest TX into central OK. Only reduced confidence in total storm coverage is precluding a High Risk at this time.

Farther south, cells should be more isolated along the dryline into central TX, however, the environment will remain quite favorable for late day significant hail, and perhaps a tornado.

💙PUPDATE💙

Remember Finn, left behind when his owners moved away from rural Kansas, Oklahoma? Finn was adopted by a wonderful lady in Colorado & has been living an amazing life! We just received a new update from his adopter! ⤵️⤵️

“Another update … Finn has come into his own now. It’s been so fun watching his personality emerge. He’s really hilarious. Has lost 6 pounds. Maybe more since his last weigh in. He’s high energy now, but still will pout in his bed if I don’t respond quickly enough getting out for our walks. Loves our daily outings. He tried to climb into the hammock with me yesterday. I put up my tent hoping I could coax him in. He got in it right away and didn’t want to come out. See pictures. Such a funny boy. He and kitty shared his bed for the first time today. Kitty has been sleeping in it and he usually just politely stares at her. I think he was in it and kitty joined.
I just adore him!! He’s my perfect pup … well most of the time. 😂😂Thanks for trusting me to adopt him.”

We're thrilled to announce an incredible new initiative at Circle L Rescue: Griffin's Legacy. In collaboration with K-9 Lane dog training, we are transforming rescued dogs into highly trained service animals, provided at no cost to those in need. Preference will be given to military veterans who have sacrificed so much for our country.

Our first success story, Henry, recently completed his training and is now proudly serving his handler, Murron. Bruna, a 2-year-old female Czechoslovakian bred German Shepherd, will be the next dog available through Griffin's Legacy.

If you or someone you know could benefit from a service dog, applications are open year-round. We are dedicated to making the absolute best match for each dog and applicant! Please note - not every dog served by Circle L Rescue will be a candidate for service work.

As we are funded solely by private and corporate donations, we will need YOUR help to sustain this life-changing program! Your generous donations will cover essential veterinary expenses for these service dogs. All training is generously donated, and all our dedicated Circle L Rescue staff are volunteers—every penny goes directly to supporting the animals.

Please consider donating today to support Griffin's Legacy. Visit CircleLRescue.org/Griffin to contribute & learn more about our new program! Together, we can make a profound difference in the lives of these amazing dogs and the people who need them most. Thank you for your support!

THIS IS MURPHY. Murphy is a doodle/poodle mix. Murphy is about to DIE WITHOUT HELP!

Murphy was thought to be safe with a pledged foster - but he came down with an upper respiratory infection & the foster wasn’t able to take him, due to lack of quarantine space.

All of what we know is in the post.

Be a hero. Offer Murphy a forever home. Don’t let Murphy die.

‼️FOSTERS NEEDED‼️

Circle L Rescue is seeking loving fosters to temporarily house dogs for families escaping domestic violence situations.

71% of women in domestic violence shelters report their abuser threatened, injured or killed a pet.

Nearly half of victims stay with an abuser rather than leave their pet behind.

52% of survivors in shelters leave their pets with the abusers.

As many as 25% of survivors will return because the abuser is using their pet as a means to get the person back.

Research shows abusers often have a pattern of violence towards all members of the household – including children and pets. When domestic violence survivors seek to flee an abuser, many are faced with the challenge of finding shelter for themselves, their children, and their pets. Many shelters do not have the means to house companion animals. Sadly, many survivors stay in with an abuser for fear that the abuse of their animals will escalate if they're left behind, or that threats to their animals will be used to compel them to go back.

our sweet pal Wally is all healed up from his hit & run last August - and now anxiously waiting his forever home!

Wally is suspected of being a Pyrenees mix, quite smart, and super loving! He’s approximately a year old now, and just a doll! Look at his happy smile!

This fella has spent the last 9-ish months living in boarding at our vet’s clinic. It’s past time he went home.

Be a hero. Bring Wally home!

This is the effects of “ESA” and pets being taken into places they don’t belong. Leave your pets at home. Working service dogs are essential for the handlers who rely on them for independence.
