A heartfelt thank you to all of our supporters! Pictured here are just a small number of the animals we’ve been blessed to help since we opened our doors less than a year ago. Each one represents the countless others who still need us. Many have gone on to loving new homes, many call the rescue home, but no matter where their journey takes them, we will always have their back.
Each face in this video represents a life rescued, a heart healed, and a second chance given. We couldn’t have done it without your support. But the work is far from over. Times are tough right now and we have had to place ourselves on a longer than expected intake hold due to lack of funding, but we will never give up on saving more lives.
💙 Please consider donating, sharing, or supporting us in any way you can. Together, we can continue to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome animals in need. As well as offer sanctuary to those in need.
All donations are tax deductible.

Happy Tuesday! We took some much-needed time off to spend with our families over the weekend. Our hearts go out to everyone affected by this weekend’s storms. We experienced some minor flooding, but thankfully, all the animals were safe and sound. We’ll be hauling in gravel to repair the washout in our four outdoor kennels.
Eventually, we hope to have concrete poured, but for now, it’s not in the budget—so it’s a project we’ll work toward. A huge thank you to our generous donor for the elevated dog cots! I was able to put them together this morning, and they’re always much appreciated. The dogs love sunbathing on them, as you can see here with our model Rosco enjoying his time in the sun.
To begin giving season, we have updated the website with November sponsorships and our list of projects needing funding for the winter season. As always, your donations are tax deductible and greatly appreciated. https://www.rescueokla.org/
This week, we're getting ready for the colder weather! Our new dog houses are being delivered tomorrow, thanks to our wonderful sponsor who covered the cost of four igloos.
We are still working on our agility yard and will post new videos soon! Between work, the rescue, kiddos and everything in between there just isn’t enough hours in the day!
Sunny Days Are Meant for Play!
We are loving the fall weather out here at the rescue! The power of a good, sunny day inspires us to imagine the possibilities of the good we can do for animals in need! #supportrescue #shelterdogsrock
🥰These babies are all in search of loving homes. They are all puppies under 10 months of age. If interested in any these cuties, please fill out an adoption application to start the approval process. All of our requirements can be found on the application. We do require all resident animals to be spayed/neutered, current on vaccinations and heartworm preventatives.
Adoption fees are $200 and help us to cover the costs for spay/neuter, vaccinations, and microchip. All animals are current on heartworm/flea/tick preventatives at time of adoption.

Poor Ollie got “locked up” for feeding time. Yes, we feed everyone in a kennel otherwise it would be mass chaos. Well, he had words to say about it, and naturally, his friends had his back😍

Just a litttle evening playtime at the sanctuary for some of the rescue crew.

In honor of National Rescue Dog Day🐶
A Shelter Dog's Plea for Understanding and Second Chances
In the dimly lit confines of the shelter, I sit huddled in a corner, my eyes filled with a silent plea that only those who truly seek to understand can discern. I am a witness to the world's indifference, a repository of scars that tell tales of a life marred by uncertainty and abandonment.
My paws tremble with the weight of an unspoken yearning—a yearning for a connection that transcends the walls of this cold, sterile enclosure. Behind these watchful eyes lies a reservoir of love waiting to be unleashed, if only given the chance.
Trust, a fragile currency in the world I inhabit, hangs in the balance like a delicate thread. I long for humans to see beyond the veneer of apprehension that shrouds me and understand that beneath the timidity lies resilience and untapped affection. Each tentative step towards trust is a victory in itself, a testament to the potential for healing and companionship. I implore those who pass by my cage to pause and recognize the untold stories within the depths of my gaze.
Grant me the opportunity to rewrite the script of my existence, to transform a once-pained heart into a symbol of loyalty and boundless devotion.
National Rescue Dog Day is proudly observed annually on May 20 to bring awareness to the countless number of amazing dogs in shelters around the country who deserve a second chance at a forever home.
These dogs need time to heal; give them that time. They will love you with all the loyalty only a rescue dog can offer.
We'd love to see the bond shared between you and your rescue dog! Feel free to send us photos of the dogs you've adopted; we'd love to see their faces. 🐶❤️
Bandit was set to die. It never ceases to strike me every time we pull an animal out of the shelter. How can something so full of life be so easily at death's door? Watching little Bandit play outside today, spunky and just happy to exist, reminds me of all the ones we lost today. Although we never met them, we grieve for them as if they were one of ours. We will continue this fight and work to save the many souls that lose their lives each day for no other reason than human failure.
We are a nonprofit animal rescue that works to save at-risk animals from shelters. #rescueokla #shelterdogsmatter
