All Paws Rescue
Zorro spent his early months charming the entire Edgemere neighborhood. Treats and affection poured in from every direction, but real indoor security was the next step. Nine months old and five pounds of sleek black fluff, he arrived ready to bring that same big energy inside. He has never met a stranger, greeting everyone with instant purrs and enthusiastic head bumps. Pet him long enough and he’ll reward you with actual drooling — endearing proof that he’s fully committed to the moment. Good with kids, dogs, and other cats, this little guy fits into just about any household. High energy and all heart, Zorro is ready to trade neighborhood celebrity for a home of his own.
Pearl, Marlin, and Coral are a high-energy trio of 9-week-old Domestic Shorthair kittens from All Paws Rescue who have beaten the odds. Originally saved from a hoarding situation by Witty Kitty TNR, they arrived into foster care quite sick and required dedicated bottle feeding to get big and strong. Today, they are healthy, two-pound bundles of fun with distinct, lovable personalities.
- Pearl is a regal and highly social seal point who loves to prance right up to you and claim your lap.
- Marlin (adopted) is a goofy, ultra-sweet flame point who is a total love bug and prefers to be held like a baby.
- Coral is an independent and curious tabby who expresses her joy by side-winding and bouncing all over the room.
These kittens are fully litterbox trained and well-socialized with both dogs and other cats. They will be officially ready to set sail for their forever homes on June 9, 2026, following their spay/neuter surgeries.

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
Violet is a 2-year-old, 35-pound black tri Australian Shepherd looking for a patient, loving home. Violet’s family had to move out of state, and they could only bring three of their dogs with them. Leaving the only family she’s ever known has been hard on her, and she’s taking time to settle into foster care. Slowly but surely, Violet is gaining comfort and confidence each day. She loves carrying her stuffed toys around and is getting better at playing with new dogs in her foster home. Violet has great potential and just needs someone willing to give her the time she deserves.
Meet Valentino, a 1-year-old blond Australian Shepherd and Retriever mix with a heart of gold. A stray on the euthanasia list at OKC, Valentino’s luck changed when Miller’s Cause stepped in to save him. Now this sweet guy spends his days craving attention and chasing his absolute favorite thing: ball. Seriously, Val lives for it. He’s medium energy, crate trained, leash trained, and does great in the car and with other dogs. Older children would suit him best as he settles into his next chapter. Valentino just wants someone to throw the ball and love him back.
Fig is a 9-month-old black tri Border Collie with energy to spare. Two different families surrendered this sweet pup as he grew, but he hasn’t let that slow him down. Fig is a busy herding dog at heart, always ready for a job or a game. He adores kids and loves playing with other dogs just as much. Crate trained, leash trained, and a great car companion, Fig has all the basics covered already. His next family just needs to keep up with that herding-dog drive and give him plenty to do.
Stormy Leigh is an 11-month-old, 40-pound Australian Shepherd foster and a true breath of fresh air. After spending two months in a shelter environment—which is a long time for a busy young Aussie—she is more than ready to find her rhythm in a forever home. Stormy is a classic “Blue Merle” beauty with a quirky, joyful personality; she’s even known to hop like a deer when she’s excited! She is high-energy, sweet, and incredibly eager to please, though she’ll need a family committed to providing the positive direction and training a young working breed craves. If you’re looking for a “busy” best friend who will keep you laughing and active, Stormy Leigh is ready to hop right into your heart.
Preston is a 1- to 2-year-old, 30-pound Mini Australian Shepherd foster dog who is full of life and color. This striking “Red Tri” boy was a frequent flyer at his local shelter until his owners realized he needed a more active environment and surrendered him for a better placement. Preston is the definition of “happy-busy”—he is very high-energy, playful, and always looking for the next adventure. He is already crate and leash trained, social with children and other dogs, and a great passenger in the car. He does have a typical “working dog” quirk: he prefers to protect his food bowl, but this is easily managed by feeding him in his own space. If you’re looking for a smart, athletic, and joyful companion to keep your days bright, Preston is ready to go!
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.
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
A good Samaritan found Mama Mia just before her four kittens arrived, then watched her become a devoted mother. Catnip turns her into an absolute lovebug, rolling and purring with total abandon. At twelve weeks old, the kittens already show distinct personalities of their own. Boots and Dot greet every visitor like old friends, full of confidence and zero stranger danger. Tippy and Harry prefer to watch from a safe distance first, warming up with a little patience. All four posed beautifully for their photo session despite their different comfort levels. This sweet family is looking for homes ready to match their energy, whether bold or a bit more reserved.
Granny spent her early years indoors, judging by how persistently she tries to get back inside a house. Someone left her behind in Edmond, but her gentle nature never wavered. At seven years old, she still carries herself with quiet dignity and warmth. New animals make her a little quirky at first, though she settles once she feels secure. Patient adopters will find a sweet, settled companion in this dignified senior.
Little Mama survived life as a feral kitten before someone finally showed her kindness. Still a kitten, she became a mother herself, though complications meant she lost every one of her kittens. Eight months old and still healing, she remains quite shy around new people and places. Gentle patience helps her relax, even if trust takes time to build. A soft-spoken home will give this little survivor the space she needs to flourish.
This ten-week-old kitten joined the bigger litter for portraits, even though he’s not related to them. A little shyness shows at first as he sizes up new surroundings. Affection quickly wins him over, though, and he settles into easy comfort within minutes. Soft head bumps and contented purrs follow once trust is established. A gentle, patient adopter will find Meeps blossoms fast with a little love.
The Misfits & Country Kitties Portfolio
This feline group highlights the incredible work done to bring “country cats” into the safety of indoor life. Among them is Bernie, a sweet 5-month-old kitten raised by his mom after she arrived from the country as a stray. This little guy can be a bit shy at first, but he’s playful and adjusting beautifully to indoor life.
Joining him is Squeaks, a 2-year-old who might be a little standoffish at first but is easily won over with treats! Rounding out the group are BeeGee and Stitch, two happy, playful boys ranging from 6 months to 1 year old. Whether shy like Bernie and Stitch or outgoing like BeeGee, these kitties are all litterbox trained, good with other cats, and ready to find their forever families.

Hobart, ID #A304805, is an adoptable foster seeking a new home after returning to the shelter at no fault of his own. This handsome, cropped-ear male is an 8-year-old, 80-pound couch potato whose favorite hobby is napping, often greeting the world with a contented, sleepy smile. 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.
Oklahoma Humane Society
Poppyseed and Cinnamon Swirl are a 4-month-old bonded duo whose story is one of incredible survival. After a rough start with a severe respiratory infection that took their brother’s life and left Poppyseed without her eyes, these two have become an inseparable team. Poppyseed is a “total angel” who doesn’t let her lack of sight slow her down; she navigates by following her best friend’s lead and letting out the sweetest purrs. Cinnamon Swirl is Poppy’s devoted guide—a “sweet and spicy” brown tabby who loves a good snuggle once she’s finished playing. They are high-energy, litterbox-trained, and great with other pets. Because Poppy relies so much on her sister to navigate the world, these two are looking for a forever home together where they can continue their adventures side-by-side.
Samuel (adopted), Nadine, and Chloe are a darling trio of 2-month-old kittens who have survived the unthinkable. 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
A tough situation brought their mama into rescue, but she found her forever home right away. Her five kittens — Poe, Jinx, Sox, Einstein, and Bitty — are ready to find theirs. Poe is a vocal Manx with a sweet, expressive face and some low muscle tone in his hind end. Jinx hangs back around new people, though she blossoms around other cats. Sox brings the party energy, keeping everyone entertained with his big personality. Einstein earned his name from his oversized head and wild hair, and lives up to it with a funny, endearing nature. Bitty started as the tiniest of the bunch but has since claimed her role as resident boss. Good with kids, dogs, and feline housemates, this sweet and playful crew is ready for homes of their own.
Nobody knows exactly how this little black kitten ended up outside a house near a highway, but she may have tumbled from a passing car. What is clear is that people have always been her people — she came in completely social and handling-ready from day one. At two months old, Sabrina has already perfected the art of demanding attention and making sure none goes to waste. Good with kids, other cats, and car rides, she fits comfortably into most households. Fair warning: this girl does not do subtle. Full commitment to your lap is the only arrangement she’s interested in.
Nick and Jess came into rescue as a foursome, and their two siblings already have homes. An adoptive family took them home, then returned them the following day when a newly discovered allergy changed everything. These four-month-old tabbies deserve a soft landing, and soon. Both are litter trained, enthusiastic eaters, and toy-obsessed in the best way — feathers, play mice, even the occasional stray litter pellet. Jess takes some time warming up to new feline housemates, while Nick does best around kids over five. Neither one will turn down a good play session or a well-timed head scritch. An allergy-free home with a little patience is all these two need to finally settle in for good.
Found abandoned in a trash bag, these five kittens got a second chance when a sharp-eyed rescuer brought them to safety. Draven, Riven, Solan, Talon, and Lyra all have Cerebellar Hypoplasia — sometimes called Wobbly Kitten Syndrome — which makes them a little unsteady on their feet. The condition causes no pain and won’t shorten their lives one bit; they simply don’t know they’re different. Draven and Riven are the resident roughhousers, tumbling into play with total, wobbling enthusiasm. Lyra holds court as the vocal one, chatting up anyone who will listen and angling for center stage. Talon and Solan bring a more laid-back energy to the group, happy to let the chaos happen around them. Good with kids, dogs, and other cats, this quirky, lovable crew is ready to show someone exactly what wobbly love looks like.
Chip spent nine years with one family before circumstances forced a painful goodbye. The transition into foster care rattled him at first, but this reddish-brown Chihuahua-Pomeranian mix has since found his footing in a big way. Now he patrols the backyard and romps with the other dogs like he owns the place. At thirteen pounds, this certified couch potato loves burrowing into blankets and snuggling close. Calmer, older dogs suit him best, though he tolerates puppy energy with surprising patience. New people earn his trust once they respect his space, making him a great fit for kids over six. Crate trained, leash trained, and car friendly, Chip comes with all the basics covered. A belly band manages his marking habit — a remnant of going unneutered until very recently. Nine years in, this spunky little guy still has plenty of love left to give.
Reba is a dark brown and tan German Shepherd mix weighing 50-55 pounds. Rescuers trapped Reba during freezing weather at a local cemetery. Reba was unsure and reserved at first, taking a while to warm up and relax. Now she’s a friendly, loving girl who adores her Nylabone toys and responds well to treats. She rides well in the car, does okay on leash, and is both crate and house trained. Reba prefers to be the only dog in the home and enjoys the occasional digging session in the yard. Give her time and patience, and she’ll reward you with loyalty.
Meet Wilbur, a 3-year-old, 60-pound Bulldog mix with the personality of a stand-up comedian. This black and white hippo of a dog came to the shelter as a stray, was adopted, and then quickly returned for chasing cats — landing him on the euth list when the shelter became overcrowded. Thankfully, Wilbur was pulled into rescue and has been making people laugh ever since. He’s a certified goofball who loves all people, entertains himself by tossing stuffed toys around, and has claimed full ownership of a kid’s play tent in his foster home. He’s gentle and sweet with children, quick to flop over for a belly rub from anyone he meets, and lives easily alongside other dogs in his foster home — though he’s just as happy as an only dog, since people are really his favorite. Wilbur is crate trained, good in the car, and ready to bring his big personality into a forever home.
Meet Smoke (adopted), Ash, and Cinder, an adorable trio of 8-week-old Domestic Mediumhair kittens who are ready to bring pure joy into your life. Taken to the shelter at just five weeks old with their feral mother, you would absolutely never guess their wild roots! These boys are the definition of friendly, lovable, and completely rambunctious. Ash and Smoke are gorgeous shades of gray, while Cinder is a striking black with subtle gray highlights. They have medium energy, are fully litterbox trained, do great traveling in a cat carrier, and are absolutely obsessed with wet food and toys. They will be officially eligible to head to their forever homes on May 29, 2026, and are ready to fill a house with non-stop kitten love.
Ginger is a 5-year-old, 60-pound Shepherd mix who is a true survivor. Found wandering near a busy street in Nicoma Park, she was battling fleas, heartworms, and endometrial hyperplasia. Thanks to her rescue, she is completely healed, healthy, and ready for her own family. Ginger is a gorgeous blend of black, brown, and red, with a medium energy level and a heart full of love. She is the ultimate “shadow dog” who just wants to be right by your side, whether you’re riding in the car, exploring outside, or snuggling on the couch. Ginger gets along with everyone—kids, dogs, and cats alike—and is crate, leash, and car trained. She can be a little jumpy if touched unexpectedly, and she will let you know with a bark if she’s in her crate while you’re home because she hates to miss out on the love.
Kratos is a 6-year-old, 70-pound Pocket Bully breed foster finally getting the second chance he deserves. After being saved from a bad situation as a puppy, he was sadly abandoned when his previous owners lost their home. Despite living outdoors for a time, Kratos has remained a steady, medium-energy sweetheart who just wants to be near his people. He is incredibly smart, already knowing basic commands, and he gets along beautifully with children, other dogs, and even cats! While he’s a nearly perfect companion, he does have one “pro” skill: he’s an expert counter surfer, so he’ll need a family that keeps the snacks tucked away. If you’re looking for a loyal, smart, and social soul, Kratos is ready to move off the porch and into your heart.
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.
