All Paws Rescue
Emily, a 2-year-old, 7-pound tabby, is an adoptable foster kitty with a calm demeanor who came from a colony with her four now-adopted kittens. Though initially quite shy, she blossoms into a wonderful cuddle bug once she feels secure. Emily is litterbox trained and a perfect companion for a quiet home. She is also a FeLV recessive cat, which means she is not contagious. Because of her condition, Emily requires a home where she can be the only cat or live with other FeLV recessive felines to keep her immune system strong.
More about recessive FeLV: a cat with a recessive (also known as regressive or abortive) infection is not contagious and will not test positive on a standard antigen test. These cats have a low viral load, which means their immune system has successfully fought off the infection, but a small amount of the virus still exists in their bone marrow. To protect their health, they should live in an exclusively stress-free environment, which helps prevent the virus from reactivating. This means they should be an indoor-only cat, have a stable routine, and receive a high-quality diet. Most regressive cats live a normal lifespan without any health problems.

The Marlee Project
Brinlee—an 80 lb powerhouse of muscle and Bully-breed strength—is a masterpiece of contradictions. While her size might suggest chaos, she moves through the world with an unexpected and intentional gentleness, never crowding the space or bumping an object; she simply is. Her history is written in the scars she carries from an abandoned life and a traumatic past, yet when she offers a “sit” or a “shake” with heartbreaking precision, it serves as a poignant reminder that she was once loved. This three-year-old survivor is a brilliant mix of high-energy play and refined manners; she is a beautifully house-trained, “shotgun-riding” passenger who will crack you up with her range of facial expressions and her insistence on being an 80 lb lap dog. Though she is still learning to navigate her relationship with other dogs after her past hardships, her devotion to humans is absolute, and she thrives on the security of being near her people rather than being left outside alone. It was a privilege to witness her joy through my lens—Brinlee isn’t just a foster dog, but a testament to the fact that our pasts do not have to define our spirits.
Nellie just wants to be near you! Nellie, a high-energy lab pit mix, is an 11-month-old pup bursting with joy and love after being saved from euthanasia at an OKC shelter when she was 8 months old. This playful girl absolutely loves toys and loves for other dogs play with her. Nellie is crate trained, does well on a leash, and is a happy car rider, making her an ideal companion for a family with children and other dogs. To learn more about welcoming this joyful pup into your home, please contact davisdebbie70@yahoo.com.
Miller’s Cause
Rosa is an 8-year-old, 60-pound Red Heeler foster looking for a soft place to land after a heartbreaking turn of events. After both of her owners passed away unexpectedly, Rosa has proven herself to be an adaptable and incredibly calm companion. True to her Heeler roots, she’s a “shadow dog” who loves to follow her person from room to room and keep a watchful, loving eye on the household. While she is a self-proclaimed couch potato, she still has plenty of spirit for walks and chasing balls. Rosa is a rare gem who is good with children, dogs, and cats alike. She isn’t a fan of the crate, but she is a perfect lady when left home alone. This sweet, red-and-black beauty does require a special diet for urinary health, but in exchange, she offers a lifetime of loyalty and steady companionship.
Beth is an 18-month-old, 30-pound Border Collie/Aussie mix foster who is as sweet as she is stunning. Originally hailing from Elk City, Beth joined Miller’s Cause after they previously helped one of her housemates, and Beth has proven to be a delightful addition. While she can be a little shy at first, this “Black Tri” beauty is incredibly easy-going and possesses a medium energy level that is surprisingly mellow for her breed mix. Beth is a social girl who is already crate trained, leash trained, and a great passenger in the car, making her an ideal companion for a family with children or other dogs. If you’re looking for a playful yet gentle soul who just needs a little initial patience to blossom, Beth is ready to find her forever home.
Beans is a 1- to 2-year-old, 25-pound Boston Terrier who is the ultimate survivor. Despite a harrowing past where he was abandoned for over a week without food or water, Beans hasn’t lost an ounce of his joy. Living up to his name, this brindle-and-white fireball is famous for jumping like a “Mexican jumping bean” when he’s excited! He is a high-energy, “happy-busy” boy who is incredibly sweet and loves to play. Beans is already well-prepared for a forever home, as he is crate trained, leash trained, and a great passenger in the car. He is also friendly with both children and other dogs. If you’re looking for a resilient, athletic, and endlessly entertaining companion, Beans is ready to spring into your life!
Ollie is a 4-year-old, 35-pound Blue Merle Australian Shepherd looking for a fresh start after a close call. Surrendered for his breed’s natural instinct to chase (chickens were his specialty!), Ollie is a sweet, medium-energy boy who is “all Aussie”—meaning he’s an independent thinker with a slightly aloof, dignified personality. While he’s not a fan of other male dogs, he gets along beautifully with the ladies and is a professional squirrel-watcher. Ollie is already well-versed in the basics, being crate, leash, and house trained, and he’s a perfect gentleman in the car and around children. If you’re looking for a stunning, easy-going companion who appreciates his personal space as much as he loves his people, Ollie is ready to meet you.
Grady is a 1-year-old, 29-pound Corgi mix who is the definition of “busy but happy.” Found as a stray in a rural area, this black, tan, and white fireball is ready to trade the country roads for a home with a dedicated playmate. Grady has high energy and a trademark Corgi independent streak, so he’s looking for an adopter with a little patience and a lot of love for a dog who knows what he wants! He is already a pro at the essentials—crate trained, great in the car, and social with both children and other dogs. If you’re looking for a smart, active companion who will keep you on your toes and fill your home with personality, Grady is your guy.
Loki is an 18-month-old, 38-pound Australian Cattle Dog mix foster dog who is the definition of “all Heeler.” This busy, driven boy is looking for a secure home with a fence after a young life spent wandering, and he’s ready to trade the open road for a life of purposeful adventure. Loki is a social butterfly who loves people and children, though he does require a cat-free home to satisfy his high prey drive and love of squirrel watching. While he is excellent with other dogs, he can be a bit bossy initially and appreciates a leader who can guide his introductions. Already a pro at the “boring” stuff—he’s crate trained, leash trained, and a dream in the car—Loki is the perfect match for an active family looking for a smart, high-energy companion to keep them moving.
Misfits Mutts & Meows
Meet Taco, Flauta, Salsa, Chalupa, Black Beans (adopted), and Nacho – a lively crew of six kittens, about 15 weeks old and ready to bring joy to their new homes! These high-energy bundles of fun are all crate-trained, good with other cats, and perfectly litterbox trained. They came into rescue after a kind coworker stepped in to help when their home was overwhelmed with two litters, and after ensuring the mothers were fixed to prevent further litters, the six surviving kittens were brought into care. Despite being a bit small for their age, they are incredibly happy and playful, eager for adventure and love.
Randy and Rhonda, a pair of happy and playful kittens, are ready for their forever home after a difficult start. Born to a young feral mom in Crescent, they were caught by a kind family who worked with them until they were old enough for rescue. Now at 2.5 months old, these medium-energy kittens are crate-trained, good with other cats, and completely litterbox trained. This brother-sister duo is ready to bring joy and fun into a loving home.
Pete, an 8 year old mixed breed dog has lived his whole life outside. When his parents divorced, he stayed with dad, who didn’t really have time for him so he wound up in rescue. He is a sweet boy that is so happy to be inside for a change. He is good with other dogs and he is working on house training. Pete is good on a leash and in the tub!
Harley is a 5 year old female cat. She was adopted as a kitten and recently returned due to her previous owner’s job moving to a location in which they had to reduce the number of animals. Harley’s personality is a bit mysterious, but she looooves a good head scritch.
Hank and Sheba are pit/chiweenie mixes. What a combo! They are a bit past 9 weeks old and good with other dogs. They will be eligible for adoption in mid February. Do not pass these sweeeties up!
Groot and Rocket were abandoned in the country as mere babies. Despite their rough start, with a little love and care, they’ve overcome their initial health challenges. Though their large pupils give them an otherworldly appearance, they’re full of playful energy and affection. While they may need some time to adjust to a new environment, they’re sure to become cherished members of a patient and loving family. Due to their high energy and sensitivity, they may not be the best fit for homes with very young children.
Mutt Misfits Animal Rescue Society
Pete, affectionately known as “Pistol Pete,” seeks a patient and loving home that understands his Cerebellar Hypoplasia (CH), also known as “Wobbly Cat Syndrome.” Originally adopted as a kitten, this 4-year-old couch potato was recently returned due to his owner’s declining health. Pete loves to lounge in cat huts, boxes, or on the couch, but will happily emerge for snuggles. Due to his CH, he uses his claws to get around, so he needs an adopter to help him get onto furniture or give him access to only cat-safe surfaces. He gets along wonderfully with other cats and has lived with dogs his entire life. To best accommodate his condition, Pete requires a high-sided or covered litter box and non-slip food and water bowls to ensure everything stays in its place. This wonderful boy is ready for a family to embrace his quirks and give him a comfortable place to call home.

Hobart, ID #A304805, is an adoptable foster seeking a new home after returning to the shelter at no fault of his own.

He is potty-trained, knows how to use a dog door, is crate-trained, and rides well in the car. Hobart is wonderfully patient and likes children, and he gets along with other dogs, though he appreciates a slow introduction to ensure a good fit. He walks well on a retractable leash and will make a devoted and easy-going companion. For more information about Hobart or to arrange a meeting, contact his foster people at stapleok1@gmail.com.

She has a medium energy level, is crate and leash trained, good in a car and good with other dogs with slow introductions. Holly can be very playful, but also settles down easily.

Oklahoma Humane Society

After being trapped following a likely animal attack, these 2-pound miracles have spent the last few weeks healing and proving just how tough they are. Samuel has fully recovered from a wound to his side, and sweet Nadine, who lost part of her back leg in the attack, is preparing for surgery to live her best “tripod” life soon. Despite their rough start, these kittens are pure joy—they meow loudly for human affection the moment they see you and are professional snuggler-and-play experts. Their personalities are blossoming daily, showing a mix of medium energy and deep gratitude for their second chance. They will be officially available around February 16, 2026, and are looking for forever homes that will cherish their brave spirits.

We’re OK Foundation

Despite a turbulent start to her young life, Rosie has remained incredibly easy-going and good-natured. She is a “plug-and-play” kind of dog: house-trained, crate-trained, leash-trained, and socialized with both dogs and cats. Rosie is highly treat-motivated and eager to please, making her a joy to train. She would thrive in an active home that can appreciate her high energy and provide her with the forever security she deserves. If you’re looking for a silly, loving companion who is ready for any adventure, Rosie is your girl.
Luca is a 2-year-old, 60-pound mixed breed who has spent the last year working through a heartbreaking history of mistreatment by a former owner. Initially completely shut down and fearful, this handsome boy has slowly learned the beauty of trust, though he remains extremely anxious around men and is seeking a patient, understanding home where he can continue to heal at his own pace. While he was recently returned after five months because his deep-seated fears weren’t a fit for that household, Luca is an incredibly good dog who is already house-trained, crate-trained, leash-trained, and wonderful with both dogs and cats. He is a shy, medium-energy soul who requires a slow warm-up period, but once he chooses you as his person, he is a devoted companion who is simply looking for a quiet, safe space where he never has to be afraid again.
Honey Lee is a 4-year-old, 59 lb pit bull terrier mix who will be available for adoption in March. She was found as a stray near Honey Lee Ranch and, although she had recently given birth, her puppies were never found. It’s clear that she has raised several litters, and now she has the chance to live her own life. Honey Lee is incredibly sweet and loves her people. She is crate trained, house trained, and gets along well with children and other dogs. She’s also good in a car, making her a wonderful companion for any family looking for a loving and loyal addition to their home.
