Oklahoma Collie/Sheltie Rescue

You probably already know, but just in case: extreme cold/ice moves in overnight. Wind chills down to single digits by tomorrow (Sunday) night. Please bring pets inside. If you wouldn't stay outside, they shouldn't either. Their coats aren't enough, blankets/clothing collect dampness. Please give them a safe, warm place to stay.

Winter weather alerts have been issued for parts of Oklahoma as snow and ice are expected overnight.

Pilots and Paws has brought several Collies to safety from our organization to others, when we were full. Our hearts go out to the family, friends, rescuers; and the surviving dogs in recovery. 😢

Seuk Kim, 49, died when his plane carrying three dogs crashed in the Catskill Mountains. Two survived. A 2-month-old dog named Lisa did not.

🎉 It's our birthday! 🎉 Hard to believe 25 years have flown by! We've been able to help so many wonderful animals, starting with just 2 part time volunteers, then growing to 26 (can you believe that?!?!?) - and over time, working with our awesome rescue friends in the region, when we were bursting at the seams.
Thank you one and all for your help, support and adoptions over the years, especially since we've been out of state for 10 years due to a job transfer. Thank goodness for the internet allowing us to network our beloved breeds to safety and new homes!
The latest Collie puppy will be shared soon, so you can reach out directly to the rescue that was able to take him into their program.
A HUGE thank you to everyone helping us to run a smooth ship over the decades! We appreciate you so much! 🐾❤️🐾

Every day, I'm asked to help dogs that might have a drop of Collie in them, and when asked to help a purebred Collie – there's no guarantee there's a spot for that dog to go either. I have struggled the last few years to find places at times, even with our awesome regional rescue friends we've worked with for 20+ years. We are ALL up to our eyeballs in dogs. Every rescue in Oklahoma is overwhelmed. Rescues are begging pet owners to contact a spay/neuter clinic in your area to help get this problem under control, no matter what breed you have. Please help OK rescues, because we can't help anyone, when we are all full and adoptions are slow. 😢

UPDATE! He's been adopted! YAY!
Oklahoma followers! There's a handsome male Collie/Aussie mix at the OKC Animal Shelter. I'm out of state, so I can't pull this kid - but so many of you contact us asking if we're aware of any Collie kids available for adoption - and this kid is right now. He's 53 lbs, a lovely Blue Merle coat. If you can adopt, please contact OKC Animal Welfare.

If you need a prescription for your pets, make the call today - and put collars with tags and your phone number on your pets (better yet, go get them microchipped too). Do it today, before you forget.
Stay safe and Happy 4th of July!

Stay safe 💕🐾💕

As the temperature outside starts increasing, we want to remind everyone of the dangers of leaving pets and children inside vehicles.
The temperature inside a vehicle can become deadly within a matter of minutes.
Studies have shown that having windows cracked makes very little difference to the inside temp of a vehicle. When going out, please be mindful if you plan to bring your four-legged companion with you.
Do not leave children, pets or vulnerable adults inside vehicles unattended, even if it's "just for a minute".

"We are still searching for Bitsie. Thank you to all the kind people who have helped look for her, helped to get the word out and given us moral support. We have appreciated your suggestions and the kind comments. Though we are devastated and ache that she is not with us, we have been gratified by all the wonderful dog and Sheltie lovers we have met. We are forever grateful for your kindness and efforts."

A few months ago, we posted two photos of an injury to one of our long-term special needs foster care dog's gum, as the result of a piece of a Nylabone breaking and lodging between two teeth. This post was for educational purposes, so everyone can be aware these "bones" - which are advertised to break off into small pieces and were safe, aren't all that safe. That post was reported to Facebook as "graphic violence" which it is not, and that report jeopardizes our status on Facebook. To the person who reported this, you are interfering in sharing safety and protection for dogs, which we have been committed to for over 55 years. Consumers need to be aware what happened to Barney, could happen to their dog too if they use Nylabone products.

As deadly cold weather moves in, please bring your pets inside. These temps are not survivable & blankets or towels collect the cold and transfer it to their body, reducing body heat.
Please protect your pets, in memory of Gayla, who was left outside during an ice storm with no protection while her owner was inside his warm house. Get creative to block off a kitchen or laundry area, and remember carpets and floors can be cleaned.
