My story

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

Meet Pup Cup — a playful, affectionate pup whose whole world revolves around making friends and doing his best.

Pup Cup’s favorite activity is trying (very earnestly!) to get other dogs to play with him. Even when they’re not interested, he keeps trying with hope in his eyes and a wag in his tail. He’d much rather have a small yard with a dog buddy than a big yard all to himself, and truly thrives when he has another dog to follow, learn from, and play with. If you’re looking for a built-in playmate for your social pup, Pup Cup might be the perfect match.

He’s playful, sweet, eager to please, and very praise-motivated—a “good boy” goes a long way with this guy. He has medium-high energy and loves running around a yard, especially when another dog is involved. While long solo hikes aren’t his thing, he walks beautifully on a leash and enjoys neighborhood strolls where he can politely stop and wait, fully expecting every person and dog to greet him (he’s always surprised when they don’t!).

Pup Cup is very cuddly and loves being close to his people. He wants to do the right thing so badly that he sometimes gets a little stressed if he thinks he’s messed up. When excited or overwhelmed, he can be jumpy and a bit nippy, but this has already been improving a lot in foster care and will continue to get better with patience, structure, and positive reinforcement.

He’s mostly house trained, though he doesn’t yet have a clear signal to go outside and currently relies on following other dogs out. In a home without another dog, he may need a little extra guidance and consistency. He’s new to crate training but is doing well—he’ll happily go in for treats and prefers his crate uncovered. The only resource guarding seen so far has been around the bed, which is being managed and improving with structure.

Pup Cup does well with other dogs, has not been around children, and would love to chase cats or geese—but listens well when told “no.” He’s also very afraid of water hoses or spraying water, though he tolerates baths just fine when water is poured gently.

Overall, Pup Cup is a really nice dog with a big heart. He’s sensitive, loving, and happiest when he has another dog by his side. If you’re looking for a companion for your playful pup—and a loyal, snuggly shadow for yourself—Pup Cup is ready to fill that role!

Additional adoption info

Adoption Process
We have an open adoption policy, so there is no application or interview process. We simply ask that you meet the pet in person before adoption. We have adoption specialists that will help you find the right pet for your family.

Adoption Center
The Adoption Center is located at 7500 N. Western Ave, Oklahoma City, OK 73116. Our Adoption Center is a totally new concept in Oklahoma City where dogs have comfortable, expanded kennels and cats stay in “living rooms” with furniture and toys.

Pets by Appointment
Some amazing dogs get stressed out in a kennel environment like our Adoption Center, and much prefer staying at their foster home until they find their new family. If you see a dog on our website that says “E-Mail to Meet Me” that means that this furry friend is just a click away from getting a ride to the Adoption Center to meet you in person.

Adoption Fees
Adult dogs are $150 to adopt, puppies are $200 to adopt, adult cats are $75 to adopt and kittens are $95 to adopt. All of our pets are microchipped, spayed or neutered, treated with all age-appropriate vaccinations and flea, tick, and heartworm preventative prior to being cleared for adoption, so we put a lot of effort and monetary investment into each of our animals including a two-week quarantine period in a foster home. These adoption fees help cover the costs of our animals’ health and well-being!
