⚡️🪄 Accio Forever Home! 🪄⚡️ For years, witches and wizards have waited for a letter from Hogwarts to arrive. Harry Potter has been waiting for something even better... a family of his very own. Unlike his namesake, this Harry didn't need to battle dark wizards, survive a cupboard under the stairs, or hunt down Horcruxes. His greatest challenge so far has simply been waiting for someone to notice what a wonderful little wizard he is. Harry is the canine equivalent of that student who somehow gets along with everyone. Calm, cool, and collected? Check. Happy-go-lucky and always ready for whatever adventure comes next? Also check. Whether the day involves chasing magical creatures (or squirrels), taking a stroll through the neighborhood, or simply snuggling up after a long day of wizarding, Harry is perfectly content to go with the flow. He's not looking for fame, fortune, or the Elder Wand. He just wants a person to call his own and a place where he can finally hang up his invisibility cloak and know he's home. So if you've been waiting for a sign from the universe, consider this your Hogwarts acceptance letter. Harry Potter is ready to cast his most powerful spell yet: ❤️ Expecto Adoptionum. ❤️ Harry Potter is a 13-week-old, 23-pound Border Collie mix puppy who somehow found himself sitting in a shelter wondering where on earth his people had gone. Not exactly Hogwarts, but every hero has an origin story. The original Harry started in a cupboard under the stairs. Our Harry Potter started in a shelter. And honestly, we find that crazy. Because Harry is the kind of puppy that makes life easy. He's calm, cool, collected, and generally approaches life with the attitude of, "Well, this seems fun. Let's do that." ⚡️ House of Gryffindog: Social Butterfly Edition ⚡️ If Hogwarts had a class called Advanced Making Friends, Harry Potter would graduate at the top of the class. When it comes to other dogs, Harry firmly believes every single one of them is a potential best friend. He's playful, social, and fully committed to the idea that life is simply more fun when everyone joins the party. Harry would probably thrive with dogs who enjoy having fun. If your resident dog identifies as a retired grumpy old professor who prefers peace, quiet, and yelling at clouds, Harry may occasionally test their patience. If your dog enjoys wrestling, playing, exploring, and having a little shadow of a brother that will adore him/her...well for forever, they'll likely become instant friends. In fact, Harry's absolute favorite companion is a 150-pound Newfoundland. While most puppies dream of being superheroes, Harry apparently dreams of being a giant fluffy bear. The two are best friends, and Harry spends much of his day following him around like an eager first-year student trying to copy the smartest kid in class. As for cats? Harry has met a few and reacted exactly like you'd expect from a curious puppy. A little interest, a little investigation, and then on to the next exciting thing. Children? Harry is convinced they were invented specifically to play with him. He's been around kids ages 4, 6, 12, and 15 and has done wonderfully with all of them. He loves having little humans to follow around, play with, and supervise. If Harry could write his own adoption requirements, there's a decent chance "must provide children for entertainment purposes" would be somewhere near the top. And new people? Harry has never met a stranger. He greets new people with enthusiasm, affection, and the unwavering confidence of someone who assumes every human he meets has been eagerly waiting all day for the privilege of rubbing his belly. If you're looking for a puppy who operates at maximum chaos from sunrise until bedtime, keep scrolling. On the official Puppy Energy Scale, Harry lands right around a 5 out of 10. He's got plenty of puppy enthusiasm, but he isn't one of those dogs who treats every day like he's training for the Quidditch World Cup. He enjoys playtime, adventures, and having fun, but he's equally happy to relax and hang out with his people afterward. Speaking of adventures, Harry is still working on his transportation skills. As a young wizard of only 13 weeks, he still requires assistance getting into the car. When it comes to leash training, Harry is currently enrolled in Intro to Not Eating Your Leash 101. Progress is being made. As for whether Harry is an adventure dog or a couch potato...Harry is basically the canine version of a shape-shifting wizard. Want to go for a walk? Harry's ready. Want to spend six hours watching Netflix while eating snacks and avoiding responsibilities? Harry's also ready. His favorite activity is simply being wherever his people are. When playtime arrives, Harry is always ready. Toys? Absolutely. Fetch? Definitely. Water? Harry has reviewed the proposal and respectfully declined. While some dogs dream of becoming aquatic adventurers, Harry seems perfectly content keeping all four paws firmly on dry land. At the end of the day, Harry's personality can be summed up pretty simply: He's a happy-go-lucky little wizard who's just along for the ride, looking for his forever family and hoping someone chooses him as their favorite magical sidekick. Now, before Harry starts packing his trunk and ordering school supplies, let's talk about what kind of home this young wizard is looking for. Harry would thrive best with a securely fenced yard where he can safely stretch those growing puppy legs and continue his adventures. Potty training is also still a work in progress. To be fair, Harry is only 13 weeks old. Expecting perfection at this age would be like expecting a first-year wizard to defeat Voldemort before lunch. When it comes to crate training, Harry is mostly an honor student. Like many young puppies, he feels it is important to file a formal complaint when first entering his crate. A few minutes later he remembers that his crate is actually a cozy little den, curls up, and takes a nap. Barking? He's surprisingly quiet. The rare exceptions are when he needs to go potty or when he's reminding everyone that he was placed into his crate against his wishes and would like that noted for the record. More than anything else, potential adopters should know that Harry is simply an easy-going, affectionate puppy who loves people with his whole heart. He doesn't need fame. He doesn't need a lightning bolt-shaped scar. He just wants a family to love and a spot close enough to his humans that he can keep an eye on them at all times. Some lucky family is about to gain an incredibly loyal best friend, a professional snuggler, an adventure companion, and a puppy who will happily follow them anywhere. The only question is whether that family is yours. Now unfortunately, despite his name, Harry cannot simply wave a wand and apparate himself into your living room. So if you'd like to be considered for this magical young wizard, you'll need to fill out an adoption application at: https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app Once submitted, we'll send your application to Harry's foster family for review because unlike the Triwizard Tournament, this is a best-fit process, not a fastest-fingers competition. If chosen, you'll then need to travel to OKC, OK to pick him up in person. No Floo Powder. No Portkeys. No broomstick deliveries. No owls carrying puppies across state lines.

If life were a competition, Midnight would be the guy sitting in a lawn chair on the sidelines, sipping sweet tea, watching everyone else run around, and wondering why they're making things so complicated. At his core, Midnight is the definition of chill. He's got the kind of easygoing personality that makes you instantly relax just being around him. Traffic jam? Midnight isn't worried. Bad day at work? Midnight thinks we should probably just take a nap about it. Existential crisis at 2 a.m.? Midnight recommends snacks and a comfy couch. While some dogs are constantly searching for their next adventure, Midnight has mastered the art of simply enjoying life. 📍 Location: Tulsa, OK -Adopters will need to come pick up their new furry family member themselves. Apply at: https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app Midnight is a 1-year-old, 30 lb Border Collie mix who has already learned something no puppy should ever have to learn: sometimes people let you down. This handsome boy came to us after being abandoned, left behind for reasons we will never know or understand. What we do know is that Midnight hasn't let it dim his light. The people who abandoned him may have missed out on something special. His future family won't. One thing you should know about Midnight is that while he may be only 20 pounds, he has absolutely no idea he's supposed to be small. Currently, he lives with six large dogs and has decided that size is merely a suggestion. A very optional suggestion. He especially loves wrestling with a 2-year-old Lab who outweighs him by approximately several Midnights. Logic would suggest this should be intimidating. Midnight disagrees. In his mind, they're clearly the same size and perfectly matched opponents. Beyond his impressive ability to ignore basic physics, Midnight is also what experts refer to as a Velcro Dog. His long-term goal is to remain within a five-foot radius of his favorite humans at all times. As for people? Midnight has apparently decided that strangers are just friends who haven't had the opportunity to pet him yet. On walks, he's happy to meet new people and happily accepts attention from admirers. His public relations department is thriving. He's also been around children ranging from toddlers to teenagers and has done wonderfully. Tiny humans, medium humans, almost-adult humans—Midnight's fan club has members of all ages. We don't know how he feels about cats since his foster home doesn't have any, but if they're willing to participate in his ongoing mission to make friends and collect attention, negotiations may be possible. If you're looking for a puppy whose life goal is to climb Mount Everest, kayak across three states, and train for an ultramarathon before breakfast... Midnight would like to wish you the best of luck in your search. Because that sounds exhausting. Midnight operates at what we like to call a "comfortable cruising speed." With an energy level right in the middle at about a 5 out of 10, he's happy to play, explore, go for walks, and enjoy life—but he's equally happy to spend the afternoon supervising your activities from the couch. When it comes to walks, Midnight is an absolute dream. He walks so politely on leash that he can comfortably stroll alongside his foster's 12.5-year-old arthritic Great Pyrenees without pulling or dragging anyone down the street. Then, when it's time to pick up the pace, he'll happily hustle along with the energetic 2-year-old Lab. As for adventures? Midnight respectfully votes for staying home. He's very much a homebody at heart. Sure, he'll accompany you on outings, but if given the choice between scaling mountains or hanging out with his people in air conditioning, he's choosing the second option every single time. Car rides are another area where Midnight has very specific job responsibilities. He does require a little boost getting into the vehicle, but once inside, he immediately assumes the position of Official Co-Pilot. His preferred seating arrangement involves sticking his head between the front seats so he can closely monitor road conditions, navigation decisions, and whether you're driving to somewhere exciting or merely wasting gas. He enjoys toys, although he's not particularly interested in making a career out of them. Fetch remains an unsolved mystery. We don't know if he loves it, hates it, or simply hasn't decided whether repeatedly retrieving an object that you intentionally threw away is a productive use of his time. One of the nicest things about Midnight is that he's not particularly high-maintenance. Some dogs come with a long list of requirements. Acreage. Eight-foot fences. Daily enrichment puzzles designed by NASA engineers. A strict routine involving yoga, meditation, and interpretive dance. Midnight's requirements are considerably simpler. Do you have people? Do those people enjoy having a dog nearby? If so, perfect. Midnight is the rare puppy who could happily adapt to just about any living situation. A securely fenced yard? Great. Regular leash walks with no fence? Also great. A house? Wonderful. An apartment? He'd likely be just fine there too. He's also already proving himself to be quite the little student. He knows commands like "stay," "come here," "in your box," "let's go," and "stop." He learns quickly and genuinely wants to please. Potty trained? Check. Crate trained? Also check. Now for the boring human paperwork portion of our program. If you'd like to become the lucky recipient of Midnight's unwavering loyalty, excellent co-pilot services, and highly professional snuggle supervision, you'll need to fill out an adoption application: https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app Once submitted, we'll send your application to Midnight's foster family so they can review it. And yes, you will need to pick him up in Tulsa, Oklahoma. Unfortunately, Midnight does not offer free shipping, overnight delivery, two-day Prime, drone transport, teleportation services, or curbside pickup. He's a puppy, not an Amazon package. But considering he's likely going to spend the next 10-15 years being your best friend, we think he's probably worth the road trip. Apply today and give this little shadow the forever family he's been waiting for. 🌙

Birdie is the cutest little border collie/blue heeler mix you will ever see (though her sisters Becca, Blossom, Bubbles and brother Baxter might disagree!) She was born 3/21/26 into the rescue so she has had nothing but love and snuggles since birth. Miss Birdie will follow you anywhere.  She loves playing and running with the other puppies but know that she will stop everything to be held and snuggled.  She will be your little shadow!  A dedicated little companion who will love and follow you everywhere. :) ##2762796##

Sky was rescued from Mcalester animal shelter 6 years ago. She’s a loving, loyal dog in need of a home where she gets lots of love and attention with no children around. She’s is not good with children unfortunately. She is such a good dog who would do great with learning tasks. She is 7 years old.
