I would like to start off this week by thanking our contributing agencies for the biggest and best Pet Patrols to date. We had 14 animals featured last week, by far more than any other week. Friends Furr Change and Rainbow Bridge Can Wait both had successful adoption events last week, though Rainbow Bridge's event was hampered by Saturday's cold weather. Stephens County Humane Society hosted a successful outing in the park this past Monday. Finally 5 of our features from last week found their fur-ever homes since last Wednesday.

There are many organizations throughout Southwest Oklahoma dedicated to pets and pet adoptions. From shelters to foster and adoption groups, there are many different options when you are looking to add a new four-legged member to your family.

Every week Townsquare's Pet Patrol will be highlighting adoptable pets from throughout the Southwest Oklahoma area, hoping to find furr-ever homes for shelter pets from throughout the region.

This week we are highlighting animals from 12 shelters, and hope to add more as momentum builds for this project. We will also be featuring information on upcoming events at our local shelters, as well as bringing you information on upcoming fund raising activities for these organization.

Please remember to spay and neuter your pets, and of course to adopt, not shop!

    Everyone say hi to Maverick, a male, Staffordshire Terrier/Chow Mix, who is approximately 5 months old. Maverick is a little shy and standoffish when you first meet him, so he needs a little coaxing to come out of his shell, but he's a sweetheart after that. He loves to chase cats, so if you have cats this boy is not the one for you!

    However he loves to play with other dogs. He will go into a crate if you lead him in. He is potty trained, and will be vaccinated, neutered and microchipped once he is released off of medical hold for an upper respiratory infection. He is currently on medical hold.

    If you're interested in adopting this great little guy, please contact Katy at 580-354-6444.

    Friends Fur Change (Chickasha) - 405 245-6932

    This is Bailey, year to 1/2 year-old a Female Australian Sheppard.

    Bailey was recently saved from another shelter, she was close to being put down there. This sweet girl had an eye infection and lost her left eye but that doesn't seem to bother her at all. She is great with kids, other dogs. She would love to ride in the truck or car. She has been an outside dog but I'm sure she would get the hang of being housebroken. Spayed & Utd on shots.

    Just remember even tho she has one eye it doesn't mean she is broken, she is SPECIAL.

    Friends Fur Change is fostering this girl. We would love to do a Meet and Greet anytime. To arrange a meeting, contact Bobbie at 405-245-6932

    Southwest Oklahoma Animal Rescue - 580 229-5151

    This is Juliette, a 4-5 year old, spayed female. Juliette has also been through a formal obedience program. Juliette is good with people and kids as well as other dogs. She has not been around cats, so again, introduce them with caution. Juliette is shy at first; it will probably take her a few days to a week to warm up to new home, (Which is not unusual) but once she has, she is a very loving, sweet, and docile companion.

    Juliett's DNA is also a mystery; I would venture a guess towards Border Collie and perhaps Great Pyrenees. We also have her full brother, who is much larger and shows some Pyrenees traits. Juliette would make a nice addition to anyone's home. If you would love to make Juliette a member of your family, please contact S.O.A.R at 580 229-5151

    Fletcher Animal Shelter - 580 919-6511

    This is Jack, he is a 4-5 yr old neutered male, that has been through a formal obedience program and has been housebroken. His DNA is varied with some Lab/Walker hound and a few other strands. He gets along well with people, kids, and other dogs. I am not sure about cats; I would think he would be OK, but I would introduce cats cautiously.

    Jack will stay close by while off-leash but Jack is a high-energy dog that likes to run around and play. Jack is a good pup and would to have a home. If you would love to make Jack a member of your family, please contact S.O.A.R at 580 229-5151.

    We welcome anyone interested in Drake to reach out to us for more information at www.pchumane.org or by calling us at 580-767-8877. Don't pass up a great dog, Drake is worth the drive to our location 900 W Prospect, Ponca City, OK 74601.
