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!

SUCCESS STORY

    This is Athena, a 1-2 year old female cattle dog who was found in the middle of nowhere with nobody to help her until some rescuers came to her aid. This girl is a delight and very laid back so we think she would be a great addition to virtually any family.

    Athena is good on a leash, good with other dogs, cats and children; how could it get any better. Though we cannot guarantee house training, we can tell you she keeps her kennel neat and tidy. Hopefully a good schedule and lots of outside time will keep her on track.

    Athena loves human companions and loves to be doted on; but who doesn’t. For more information about Athena, please call the Humane Society at 580-252-7387.

    This handsome young dog is a Pit Bull Terrier mix we call Rocky! He came to us as a county stray and is about 6 months old. Rocky is pretty laid back as well; being good with other dogs and children who can be as gentle with him as he is with them. Rocky does need to find a home where cats are non existent because he loves to chase and we don't want this boy in trouble.

    For more information on Rocky, please call the Stephens County Humane Society at 580-252-7387.

    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.

    Rainbow Bridge Can Wait - 580 919-0439

    This is Daisy, a sweet, active and happy Pit girl.  She loves attention and giving lots of kisses. She knows her basic commands and is house and kennel trained. She will gets along with other dogs after proper introductions but will push and trample smaller dogs although she does redirect quite well.

    Daisy is working on not jumping as she gets so excited she can knock down small children but other than that she is excellent with kids. Daisy does have food and treat aggression so must be fed and given treats separately. She also is a digger so will need work on that. Daisy really is a great girl.

    She comes fully vetted, spayed, and microchipped.  The rescue pays for activation and up to one year of monitoring of the chip.  She also comes with  30 days of free veterinarian insurance.  She is heart worm negative and has been on monthly heart worm preventative. Her adoption fe is $200.00. Contact Rainbow Bridge Can Wait on their FB page or Petfinder if you are interested in her.

    My name is Farrah and I am a Labrador Mix. I am two years old and since the days and nights are very long and lonely in a shelter I dream day and night of a family that would like to have around forever.

    I am a good girl and I love to play ball and run, run, run. Sometimes I might be getting to excited but a simple reminder from you would slow me down. I like children and other dogs that play with me nicely. I am really, really lonely in here because I really have so much love to give but no family to share it with. Please give me a second chance and make my dream come true.

    LOVE, FARRAH

    If you like to adopt or foster Farrah, please hurry up and message our shelter page. You can also call or send a text to (580)919-5117 to schedule a meet and greet with this sweet girl.

    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

    Southwest Oklahoma Animal Rescue - 580 229-5151

    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.

    Drake is an adorable 7 year old boxer  looking for a chance at another home. Housebroken, outgoing, super sweet with people, great with other dogs but no alpha dogs because he gets bullied and okay with cats.

    He also will need a family with older children, little kids he has been with before would climb on him and he didn't care for that very much.  He has done well in our play group especially with smaller dogs. He loves to cuddle and he won't pass up a treat!

    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.
