Courtesy Post: Owner Surrender/Rehoming- Jenks, OK Meet Ollie! He is an 2 year old Australian Shepherd and weighs 60 lbs. He is neutered, microchipped and up to date on shots, but isn’t neutered. Ollie is good with children! No cats or dogs, due to his reactivity! He is housebroken and crate-trained. The owner is surrendering him because he doesn’t like other dogs. If you think you can provide a great home for Ollie, please contact the owner listed below. There is a $150 rehoming fee to assure good folks with good intentions.

Story
Hazel was born in Colorado from a litter of 10! Shes a country gal. She loves the fresh air and open fields. Hazel loves to play tug and fetch. You can see her thinking and processing everything around her. She is so so smart. She needs a home that can keep her mentally and physically sharp. I am going to medical school in the fall and will no longer be able to give her the life she deserves. This is the hardest thing I ever had to do. She is perfect. She is sweet and kind. She is gentle and thoughtful. She has so much potential to be a service animal or herding dog. She has changed my life and it breaks me that I can’t bring her along. We went on a 33 hour road trip across the country together. She loves the car and pup cups from Starbucks. Shes spoiled unfortunately, in my eyes she has always deserved the best.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Meet Sheesh, a one-year-old pup whose unique personality perplexed her foster mom until she received the breed results — border collie and Labrador retriever!  Sheesh’s hobbies are all lab. She loves playing fetch and brings the ball back consistently.  Sheesh also loves water and will go towards any source of water, whether it’s coming from a sprinkler in the neighborhood or running in a creek. She loves being outside in the rain and isn’t afraid of getting all wet. She’s so calm and easy during baths that her foster mom still bathes her in the kitchen sink even though she’s much too big for it now at 45 lbs full grown.  The border collie in Sheesh is also very apparent in how intelligent and obedient she is. Sheesh follows instructions without the need for a treat. She’ll come when you call her name and go to her crate when told to. She’s very smart and learns new skills quickly. She also has some herding tendencies and can get very focused on things like a squirrel in the yard. She’s of course energetic, but does take plenty of naps throughout the day.  Sheesh will do best in an active home with owners who want to take her on long morning walks. Sheesh loves her walks, but she can get a little too excited by other excitable dogs she encounters. She will need someone willing to work with her on this, possibly with a trainer’s help. Sheesh is very redirectable and responsive if the person walking her knows what to do.  Sheesh has been in her foster home since July 2024 and is fully potty trained, crate trained and has zero separation anxiety. She’s super friendly, happy and loving, and is friends with all the dogs in her foster home. There’s not a mean bone in her body. She even shows remarkable patience with small puppies, letting them climb all over her and chew on her beautiful, fluffy tail. Although she’s not perfect, Sheesh is a special young dog who will bring great joy to her forever family.”

Story
Meet Ozy, a one-year-old Labrador retriever and border collie mix with all the lovable qualities of a lab in a slightly smaller package.  Full grown at 55 lbs, Ozy loves water, is an expert at playing fetch and has the best nature. He’s friendly, lovable, a little goofy and just wants to sit on your lap! He’s great with other dogs of all ages and shows remarkable patience with the small puppies in his foster home.  Ozy is a turn-key ready dog. He was rescued from a rural shelter in July 2024 and has been learning how to be a good dog in his foster home ever since. Ozy is 100-percent potty trained, crate trained, easy to walk on a leash and obedient. He’s a good listener. He’ll come when you call his name and go to his crate when told. He aims to please his person. He loves a good treat, but it isn’t required for him to listen to instructions. Ozy is very smart and learns new skills quickly. Ozy does best with a good walk in the morning, but his energy level isn’t off the charts for being part border collie. But we would like his forever home to be an active one. Ozy would love to go on all the adventures with his new family. He absolutely loves going for car rides, and he would truly thrive going on hikes or walks in new places with his forever family.
