My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Maui and his 3 siblings were dumped on a rural property in Oklahoma. They were at risk of being shot so a good samaritan took them in. She reached out to us to see if we could take them into the rescue as she was a few days away from getting induced to give birth and couldn't handle 4 puppies on top of that. The puppies are about 4-5 months old and absolutely beautiful. 4 boys, one red, one black, one gray, and one sable. Maui is a total sweetheart and gets along great with all the dogs here. He loves going on walks and playing in the water and snoozing cuddled up with his buddies. He will make a great companion and/or family dog.
He is currently still in Oklahoma where he was rescued but he can only be adopted out of state where people treat animals well. He has to be prepaid and picked up directly from transport at one of our transport drop off locations below. If things don't work out for some reason, which rarely ever happens, we will either find a local foster to take him in or he will go back to Oklahoma on our next transport until a new home is found.

More about this rescue

Oklahoma Licensed Rescue Number 95

Oklahoma is a bad place for animals. It's the only state that saw an increase in shelter euthanasia rates in 2019. 2020 probably didn't look any different. Strays everywhere, people dumping dogs in the country to fend for themselves, litters of puppies and kittens because people are too cheap or too lazy to fix their pets.

We help these poor souls and find them loving homes in northern states.
