Drew (Damian) & Dahlia (Rhea) are safe.
Damian is not eligible for foster right now. He's very scared and a flight risk so we are trying to send a different dog to foster in his place so we can get to know his needs and limits better.

Rhea however, total love bug. She is timid but very cuddly and both are enjoying air conditioning, quiet, and quality sleeps. We will post more tomorrow. The heat is brutal today! 🥴

Damian is for sure going to be a project.

Please please please can anyone foster Dahlia ?

We have tagged Drew who we have known since he was a puppy on the harsh streets of North Tulsa but when he was rescued, he had a friend who was also rescued. They are both high risk at Tulsa Animal Welfare and have very little time to get out before they will be euthanized for space. Drew is safe, Dahlia is not and my heart aches knowing she is being left behind. We cover all medical, supplies, and food. You just need to provide a safe loving home until a forever home is found. She appears to be a 6m old female lab mix. She is friendly! I know she looks pittie, but she looks much more lab in person. I'm begging! We do not have a holding facility and boarding at the vet is far too expensive for us to cover long term.

If interested please text me asap 918-849-4545 time is limited so don't wait !

Marcia and I have been feeding this babe for a year. I'd love to pull him but I can almost bet money on it that he's heartworm positive and will need treatment and training for sure. We cannot commit to both but we have space for 1. If you want to help us bail him out we will need to raise at least a little to care for him. Goal would be $300 to start until we know if he's heartworm positive or not.

I plan on reaching out to the shelter tomorrow to tag him as long as our foster doesn't fall through. If they do, he will need a temporary boarding as well :( 12 days.

Update: I wish it were a better one to be honest. But here goes......

First off we are changing his name to Ragetti like the one eyed pirate on pirates of the carribean. It suits him way better than DK. His pictures do him no justice at all. He's a small 53 lb pocket bully which is not at all what I expected! Lol

Upon arriving to this Boy, he was splayed out under the shipping container very uninterested In anything I had to offer him. He didn't attempt to run or move, he just kept a very strong RBF and drooled and stared very cautiously, occasionally letting out a tiny growl. I laid on the ground talking to him and was able to touch his foot with my loop lead to test his reactivity, he flinched but didn't move away or attempt to bite. This got his nose finally smelling the yummy food I brought and he inched closer. The first time I tried to loop him, he grumbled and turned his back to me so I left him alone for a few minutes to get him back to focusing on the food.

Eventually, I used his bad eye in my favor and slipped the loop over his head where he couldn't see it until it was too late. He initially was very displeased and fought the leash and snapped at it, but calmed down quickly with slack, a gentle voice and reassurance. He followed me to my car bumping into my legs and falling over a couple times but climbed in the car on his own. I was very worried about the way he was walking and falling and rushed him to the vet worried he had heatstroke.

When we arrived, he was already cooling down and a lot more active and loved all the humans he met immediately.

Upon examination from the vet, we discovered a whole lot of medical concerns. Ragettis eye was likely popped by another dog causing complete blindness in that eye. The remaining eye is fully dilated and very minimally reactive to light. He can see SOMETHING but likely not much. He is covered head to toe in horrific deep wide scars. He has a significant lack of normal neurological function. His front legs are the only thing that seem to be functioning normally. His rear are very messed up. One does not correct when flipped and the other is very delayed when correcting itself. He walks into everything and walks with a head tilt. He also has selective and minimal hearing. He was positive for intestinal parasites, allergies, and secondary skin infection. While all of this could be managed and fixed enough to have a good quality of life, he has brain damage. The vet is unsure if he has taken a good blow to his front right lobe or if there is a different reason for all the abnormality but it's not correctable.

The larger issue came when he saw another dog in the lobby and went completely ballistic and uncontrollable injuring me trying to get him out the door. When I got him back to our office, he saw a dog statue on our front porch and without any hesitation or warning he lunged and latched onto it like it was his life's one and only mission to eliminate that animal. :( given his scars and obviously poor care, I'm not entirely surprised that he's reactive but I was a bit surprised about the use of force and speed that came with it. We discovered he's missing a canine and a few other teeth also and do believe that he has been fought and likely trained to do so. This doesn't give him a good chance at being adoptable as he will pose a major liability risk to anyone who may miraculously choose to foster or adopt him. We are going to hold him at the office isolated for a couple of weeks and let him settle and get a better idea of his personality and needs before making any decisions but will not proceed with further medical at this time until we know more. To the human who did this to this beautiful dog, may you get what you deserve.

Secured!

On our way to the vet. Hes overheated and disoriented. Will update asap.ASAP.

Look at me now !

Shenzi went home on an adoption trial and is settling in so wonderfully!

Found in the freezing cold pregnant with a broken jaw and terrified of humans, Shenzi landed her second chance with us here at Mercy.

She underwent board and train with Jaden House and came back a brand new dog. She was so proud to show off her skills in her meet and greet and was significantly less fearful than she's been in the past. They are loving her and as long as she does well with their grandchildren this week, she's found her forever home !

It took a lot of work and a lot of resources but she did it !!!! Happy tails Shenzi Hyena ! ♡♡

This pup has been rescued. See update on our page.

We have raised enough to have him seen at least ! We will try to secure him in the morning. We will keep you all posted

‼️SOS- Injured older dog in need‼️NOT SAFE!

This fella is living under a shipping container at a secured business in Tulsa for at least the last 2 weeks. Nobody knows where he came from or how he got there but he hasn't left and hes obviously in trouble.

He's got a swollen wounded and painful eye, all scarred up, thin and needs help. With him being an intact male brown bully, nobody is rushing to save him. We are willing, but need funds to do so. An initial exam and generic tests (heartworm, f***l, eye exam) will help us to determine if he is salvageable or should be euthanized. Approximately $250 up front.

For right now, he's being provided food and water daily by workers. He appears to have some muscle atrophy in the rear and we aren't sure about his temperament yet but he doesnt appear to be aggressive. If we can get some donations in, we will go attempt to secure him in the morning. He is in a fenced business this evening and not accessible. We will see to it that he doesn't spend another week on the streets regardless and make sure he makes it to Taw at the very least if we cannot scrounge up some support. A foster would be a miracle too! Go to Mercysakes2ndchancerescue.com if you're interested!

We are calling him DK

You all may remember Prue ! She was found by TCC at the beginning of June. She was limping, thin, and thought to be pregnant. Nobody would step up for her.

We believe Prue may be one of Paiges previous litters. As soon as a foster stepped up, we intervened to get Prue looked at immediately. She was discovered to have torn her palmar fibrocartilage. In order to repair it, She would have needed the joint fused. It would have cost $2500 for surgery and had lots of possible complications. Option B, amputate. OR option C, let her run around on it until it becomes an issue and fix it later. We chose to leave it be until we got to know Prue better. We had her spayed, and her fosters fell head over heels in love with her and came to adopt her yesterday. Unfortunately, she wasn't out of the clear and on to her 2nd chance just yet because much to our surprise she tested positive for heartworms and ehrlichea. :( this girl is SO young, SO sweet, and so deserving. Unfortunately, this is a long and expensive treatment. She is adopted, but will require heartworm treatment in 4 weeks which is going to cost $500. $100 of this has been covered by her adopter.

If you'd be so kind to help us help her- we really need it.

We will not proceed with treatment until funds are raised in full. Please note PRUE on your tax deductible donations!

Thank you to all who helped Prue get her 2nd chance ! ♡

On November 21st of 2023, we recieved a frantic phone call from a friend of ours who was driving down Peoria and saw what she thought was a deer laying in the field but quickly realized it was a puppy. She pulled over and rushed over to him where he flopped around terrified on the ground and it was clear he was severely injured. She tried and tried to rescue him but he bit her out of pain and fear and she knew she couldn't get him all the way back to her car on her own.

Marcia and I hopped in the car and flew over and were able to get this poor baby on a blanket and the 3 of very carefully carried his broken body to the car and rushed him to Animal Welfare. He was so afraid and obviously in shock and we both cried as they sedated him in the back seat and took him inside on a cart.

A few days went by and I couldn't stop thinking about those sweet innocent eyes looking up at me in the backseat. They informed us he had probably been hit by a car and had a broken pelvis and a shattered femur. :( he was to serve a 10 day bite hold and then would be euthanized if a rescue didn't pull him. I surrendered immediately knowing that raising the funds, finding a foster, and getting him in for surgery in 7 days time was not going to be possible. Anytime I put my hands on a dog, i feel responsible for them and they never ever ever leave my heart and mind from that moment on. I prayed on it, and made peace with the fact that I can't save them all. But by some miracle, one of our big supporters had a bit of money to spare and said go save that dog, and I'll pay for his surgery. Unfortunately that wasn't going to be enough because he still had no where to go. Just a few days later, the day before he was doomed to be laid to rest, we had 2 dogs go to foster and an adoption opening up space for him.

Neon's second chance would happen that day. We carefully loaded him up and took him to our friends at Catoosa Small Animal Hospital where they got him fully vetted, amputated, and recovered physically and were shocked at how quickly his personality and thankful little wiggle butt began to shine through. Neon was so silly, every day was the best day ever to him ! He learned about tile, toys, friends, leashes, and how to be naughty and was incredibly thankful for every single moment.

As time went on, and adopter after adopter backed out on him, we worried he'd never experience a family of his own until Dukes momma came along to foster him. Duke is a Mercy Alumni with a special limb deformity and he accepted Neon right away. A couple of months went by, and Neon came back for the day to meet an adoptive family who never showed up. His foster mom came to pick him back up and said it would be the last time Neon would be let down by humans and it was official. She signed an adoption contract and made Neon official ♡

It took a village, and a lot of miracles to make this happen. Neon is one lucky puppy ♡ This is what rescue is all about and Marcia and I are so grateful that so many people fought for him right beside us. Happy tails Neon ! We love you and your big brother Duke and wish you many happy years together.

Happy tails ♡

Bongo was found Aug 2nd late at night in Tulsa at Admiral and Garnett running in and out of traffic frantic. He had a thin blue collar on and was not microchipped. Upon rescuing him, he was very obviously having a heat emergency and needed immediate intervention. We posted him to Facebook, pawboost, and next door app and he was unclaimed. We did recieve a few messages that he had been running the area for a few days at least.

Bongo is under a year old, dog and kid friendly and seeking a foster. He is very well behaved but has anxiety being in a kennel and therefor is not a good candidate for boarding. He is learning how to kennel train, seems housebroken and is very sweet. In his kennel he barks relentlessly if he can see or hear people or other dogs and appears fearful. We have been unsuccessful in getting him to distract or self soothe on his own so he just needs someone to be patient with him and teach him that the kennel is a positive tool not a punishment. If we are unable to find a foster for Bongo, humane euthanasia will be on the table for his own sanity. Boarding simply cannot provide what he needs and therefor he shouldn't be forced to suffer and not understand why he feels he is being tormented. Bongo is very friendly and high energy at first but he settles after some energy outlets are provided to him.

Please consider letting Bongo be a part of a home where he can learn to be a healthy and adoptable puppy. He is absolutely worthy !

Vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm negative and on flea tick and heartworm prevention. He is intact right now but scheduled to be neutered.

Tulsa, Oklahoma!

Rupert is finally ready to find his forever home ♡ its been such an amazing journey with this sweet guy. I never in a million years expected such perfection out of an animal who spent over a year on the streets fighting for every moment of survival. We watched him starve, freeze, be injured over and over again and couldn't get anywhere near him. By some miracle after catching his entire pack, Tulsa Animal Welfare got him and we pulled him immediately. He came with hefty medical bills, but every single penny spent has been so worth it. Rupert has been vaccinated, treated for intestinal parasites, neutered, microchipped, treated for heartworms, a fracture in his leg, and undergone double eye surgery to repair entropian. He's never shown an ounce of aggression, he's never had an accident inside, he's never thought about tearing up his bed, never looked at the fence. He is so happy to just be inside and loved and treated the way he deserves.

Rupie is dog friendly but not cat friendly. He would do best in a home with older children due to his size and partial vision impairment. He has no behavioral issues thus far and has yet to meet anyone he doesn't like. He is hesitant getting into vehicles but he will and seems to enjoy it more every time. Rupert had a huge following upon intake and almost all of his medical bills wet3 covered. This is the remaining balance ♡

His adoption fee is $200 and he has a DNA test pending but we believe him to be a 3 to 5 year old sharpei German shepherd mix. If you'd like to donate to pay off his medical bills, we will shower you with thanks and lots of Rupert pictures !

Just got the sweetest update from Rhea who has 2 Mercy Alumni. Romeo and Pixie. Both of these kids were abandoned by their humans. They're both pittie mixes and both sat stagnant in our program for months / years before landing with their family. Unicorn adopter who worked absolute magic to create this healthy, well balanced life for 2 very deserving dogs. 🦄

Rescue is hard and it takes a bit of effort and patience when acclimating a dog with unknown history and reactivity into a home but it's 1000% worth every single moment especially seeing this ♡ thank you Rhea for loving not only 1, but 2 second chance Mercy dogs. If only they were all so lucky.

We love you babies !

On July 31st of 2022, Marcia, Ashley and myself pulled a sweet old man named Wendel from Tulsa Animal Welfare off the euth list. Wendel had scars from an embedded collar, a broken foot, and several lacerations on his body but had the sweetest and gentlest disposition. He wanted nothing but love and friends and was so unbelievably grateful for every moment of living.

Wendel was lucky enough to find a foster to heal from his amputation, learn how to be a good indoor companion, and eventually move on to find his forever momma Vanessa. not even a week after adoption, Wendel had to undergo surgery for a partial blockage from eating a dog bed and he almost didn't survive. His new momma saw him through it, paid for it, and later came back and adopted another Mercy dog (Saint, now Bob) so Wendel would have a companion of his own.

This morning, Wendel gained his wings and went to be with our friends at the rainbow bridge. When I heard the news, I burst into tears not just entirely because we lost a friend, but also because we are so incredibly thankful for all the people who played a part in Wendels rescue mission that made it possible for him to have the BEST last 2 years of his life LIVING like a king. That sweet boy wanted for NOTHING. He was so loved, so happy, and so spoiled which is all we could ever want for any 2nd Chance baby. Bob is heartbroken losing his brother, but we know that he and his momma are gonna carry each other through this loss and remember Wendel as he deserves for the rest of their lives. May we also never forget that every single one of them are worth it, no matter what it costs our hearts, souls, wallets, sanity, and everything in between.

I am sad to never be able to see your smile again Wendel, or kiss your nose, or hear your awoos, but I know you are resting peacefully with the best of the best up there and we will meet again.

Send prayers and healing to Vanessa, and Bob today. Thank you to every one of you who follows, supports, and loves these dogs the way they deserve. You all make such an impact and we are forever in debt to you for allowing us to continue saving dogs and seeing them through their journey to the very end.

Welcome Bunny to Mercy Fam!
This sweet little girl was assumed to be abandoned near 56th st N and Yale a few days ago. Someone who works nearby heard car doors close at a pulloff area and witnessed 2 chihuahua mixes run into her pasture. Only this one stuck around the following day. Although she was very frightened on the streets, Norman was able to trap her this morning. So far, she is incredibly affectionate and desperate for love and attention. She seems overall healthy minus some ticks and dandruff. It's possible she's pregnant. Not microchipped but sharing just in case. A few days after she was discovered, 2 other dogs showed up with her. Unfortunately, they need a foster to be accepted into rescue.

The one we are seeking help for is a young male puppy. He appears to be between 4 and 6m old. He's still there with another dog who we are trying to get into a breed specific rescue so hopefully he's dog friendly. If you're able to foster him, please go to Mercysakes2ndchancerescue.com and fill out a foster application for him so we can get him safe. If you'd like to help with these guys vetting or boarding funds- please do so via any of the below platforms.
