Story
We are moving across country and won’t be able to take our baby boy with us. He responds to “Bear” and he is full of life. He is a very smart dog and will need someone there who’s willing to work with him and keep him engaged. He does well with scent work and puzzles, and is kennel trained. For house training he does best when a doggy door is available to him but he will smack the front door to let you know he needs out. Bear does show resource guarding against other dogs with certain high value items such as food, water, and bones so all of his meals he spends in his kennel or he is supervised. Because Bear is high energy, I would advise against having very young/small children around him unless you wish to turn your family into a bowling alley. For any other questions please feel free to contact us!

Story
Alder is basically the dog version of an introvert. Quiet, gentle, low-key, and completely content doing his own thing, Alder is one of the easiest and lowest-maintenance dogs I have ever had in the rescue out of hundreds of dogs. He is around a year old and was originally labeled as a pit bull mix at the shelter when he was younger and still looked like a generic puppy. But now that he is older, it is very obvious that he is not a pittie and instead looks much more like a Border Collie mix. Alder is wonderful with other dogs of all sizes and also great with cats. He peacefully coexists with everyone but honestly doesn’t care much about joining the chaos or playing constantly. He prefers to quietly exist nearby and observe the world at his own pace. He is shy and hesitant with new people at first, but there is not an ounce of aggression in him. He is simply a soft, sensitive dog who takes a little time to feel comfortable. Once he settles in, Alder is incredibly easy to live with. He is not demanding, not hyper, not loud, and not needy. He is the type of dog who quietly becomes part of your daily life without bringing chaos into it. Good fit: someone looking for a calm, quiet, low-maintenance companion who does not need constant stimulation or activity to be happy. Adoption process: All adoptions are completed prior to transport. Dogs are picked up at designated transport locations. If an adoption doesn’t work out (rare, but life happens), we always take our dogs back. Location: Oklahoma (available to approved out-of-state adopters via transport) Health: Fully vetted (neutered/spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, heartworm tested) Adoption fee: $450 (includes transport + vetting) Bonus: Each adoption includes a 30-minute phone consultation with a professional trainer Transport routes: WA, OR, ID, MT, UT, WY, CO, MN, WI, IA, IL, IN, OH, PA, MD, NY, NJ, VT Think you might be a good fit?

Story
Some dogs bring chaos everywhere they go. This girl brings calm. At around 50 lbs, she has the look of a rugged little farm dog mix with a naturally steady personality to match. While other dogs are bouncing around causing chaos, she’s usually the one quietly observing everything with her calm, thoughtful expression. She’s affectionate without being clingy, social without being overwhelming, and has an easygoing energy that makes her relaxing to be around. Her coat gets thick in the winter with a dark brown undercoat and sheds out lighter in the summer, giving her that soft, weatherproof “country dog” look. She does great with other dogs and fits naturally into group environments without drama. She’s the type that settles in instead of constantly demanding stimulation or attention. There’s something very grounded about her personality. Good fit: someone looking for a calm, emotionally steady companion that’s easy to live with and enjoys connection without constant intensity.

Story
Jazzy is the kind of dog who brings energy and happiness into your life—without overwhelming it. She’s playful, friendly, and fun, but also has an independent side that makes her easy to live with. Her past isn’t pretty—but you’d never know it. Jazzy is social and confident, great with dogs of all sizes and cats, and naturally fits into whatever environment she’s in. She’ll happily join in on playtime, go on walks, or even randomly take a dip in the pond—then settle down like it’s no big deal. She’s affectionate without being clingy and has that ideal balance people are always looking for but rarely find. Good fit: someone who wants a fun, social dog that adds energy and joy to daily life without being overwhelming or demanding. Adoption process: All adoptions are completed prior to transport.

Story
Zodiak is a 7 year old great companion. He's affectionate, He smiles at you when you come home from work. He is always ready to go do whatever you are up to whether it's hiking, mountain biking, a walk in the neighborhood or suggling up to watch a movie. He loves a good game of fetch with a ball or stick or whatever you can find. He is housebroken and can stay alone uncrated for long periods of time with no accidents as long as you take him outside to potty before you leave. He loves cats and is fine with them. He is usually nice with other dogs but he is protective of his toys and food so sometimes there can be fights. That's why I don't recommend other dogs in the home. He is a herding dog by nature so little kids he will try to herd. 10 and older are a better fit. He needs a fenced yard. He is good on a leash. He knows sit and stay and will shake hands for a treat. He's really a great dog. He is desperate for a new home that can love and care for him.

Story
*This is a courtesy post for an individual looking to re-home their dog* Molly is an enthusiastic sweet potato who will steal your heart, and your toys! She will greet you with a toy and loves hiking mountains and cuddling on the couch in equal measures. She loves to chew on hard toys and tear the tentacles off octopus toys. No rope toys. Two walks per day is ideal, but at least one walk a day is essential or she'll be vibrating like the energizer bunny. A mountain or a farm may tire her out, but otherwise she's ready to rumble any time of day. Tug is her favorite game, but she's an expert at fetch too. She's an affectionate girl and will ask for kisses by sitting next to you and putting her face in front of yours. She’ll lean against you if you're not getting the hint!  Molly grew up with cats and gets along with male dogs. She's had some conflicts with female dogs, so another lady roommate might not be a good fit. She's done fine with new cats. She likes to be the boss (it’s the cattle dog), so she would do best with easygoing roommates and someone who can continue her training. She is shy meeting new dogs and people but warms up with gentle encouragement and lots of treats. She's done great in off leash neutral environments. She has not really interacted with children, so I do not know how she would be with them.  An active household would be ideal for her, as she would thrive with someone who could take her out running, hiking, etc. She would do well with an experienced owner who can dedicate some time to training. She's a quick study and food is her number one motivator!  Although she has not been on a farm before, with her strong herding instincts, I think she would thrive on a farm or with someone who has a large piece of land who can give her a job.  She has some reactivity and pulling tendencies on leash. She barks at people coming to the door and neighbors in the yard.  Although generally comfortable in her kennel, she gets fomo if she hears people having fun in the house without her! She won’t destroy anything if left in the house, but will get into snacks and tissues. Molly knows basic commands.  She gets anxious at the vet and when new people come over, so we have trazodone we give her ahead of time. Molly is spayed and up-to-date on all her vaccinations. She has a microchip.  I've fed her various brands of salmon and rice. I have not been particular about treats. Molly is a sweet, silly girl who would thrive with someone who can match her exercise and training needs.   ##2714998##

Story
I'm going through a divorce and can't take care of Sparrow properly due to my busy schedule. Sparrow is a very sweet girl who would do best with someone who can spoil her and give her lots of pets. She's anxious and shy and would be happiest if she was the only pet. She's 12 years old and 8 pounds. She loves relaxing, food, going on car rides and walks!
