Meet Jolly — yes, that’s his real name, and no, it’s not false advertising. This boy woke up one morning and decided that being cheerful was going to be his entire personality, and frankly, he has committed to the bit harder than most people commit to New Year’s resolutions. He doesn’t ask for much — just your presence, your attention, and maybe a seat close enough that he can lean into you like a fuzzy emotional support paperweight. Jolly isn’t here for drama, world domination, or elaborate schemes. His life goals are refreshingly simple: love his person, follow his person, and make absolutely sure his person knows they are adored. If loyalty were a competitive sport, Jolly would already have a sponsorship deal. Sweet, affectionate, and endlessly optimistic, Jolly has mastered the art of being the dog who makes you feel like you’re the most important thing in the room — because to him, you are. If you’ve been searching for a constant companion, a professional mood-lifter, and a dog whose entire vibe is “life is good and I’m just happy to be here,” then congratulations… Jolly has been waiting for you, probably while wagging his tail and smiling like you’re already best friends. 🐾💛 Jolly is a 3-year-old, 55-pound poodle mix who, despite his relentlessly cheerful demeanor, has been out here doing life on hard mode for far too long. Before rescue ever entered the chat, this boy was on his own, trying to survive on the streets. Alone. Dirty. Unprotected. Eventually, some very determined good samaritans noticed him and put their heads together to come up with a plan to catch him and get him somewhere safe. When he was finally picked up, the condition of his coat told the whole story. He was covered in massive burrs, including around his jaw — burrs so large and so tight they physically prevented him from opening his mouth without intense pain. Let that sink in for a second. This dog had been walking around unable to comfortably eat, drink, or exist, and somehow still chose joy as his personality. Then came the vet visit, which unfortunately the bad news did not stop there. Jolly was found to be packed full of intestinal parasites and tested heartworm positive — meaning he now has to undergo heartworm treatment to get rid of something that is entirely preventable. And yet, somehow, every month, people still argue with rescues about the importance of prevention. For context: Jolly is the fourth heartworm-positive dog we’ve started treatment on this month alone. Fourth. In case anyone was still wondering why rescues scream into the void about monthly preventatives. But I digress. And through all of this? Jolly remains exactly what his name promises. Happy. Gentle. Incredibly affectionate. Just thrilled to be near his people. He doesn’t carry bitterness, fear, or resentment — just a deep desire to be close to someone who cares. He bonds quickly, loves deeply, and acts like simply existing in a safe space is the greatest gift he’s ever been given. He also happens to have the most adorable underbite, which gives him a permanently endearing, slightly goofy expression that makes it impossible to take him seriously in the best way. Whether it’s something he was born with or the result of past trauma, we may never know — but what we do know is that it doesn’t impact his quality of life at all. The vet has cleared it as purely cosmetic, which means no further action is needed… other than admiring it constantly. Let’s talk about Jolly’s social résumé. With other dogs, Jolly is not the guy who bursts into the party getting into everyone's space like he has knonw them forever but he’s also not the grumpy neighbor peeking through the blinds either. After a few days of adjustment, he’s perfectly happy playing with his foster sister and acting like this was obviously the plan all along. On walks, however, he does get a little spicy when he sees or hears other dogs — not in a “choose violence” way, more in a “OH MY GOD IS THAT A DOG DID YOU SEE THAT DOG I SAW THE DOG” way. Prior to being rescued, he was also very interested in playing with a neighbor’s female dog, which tracks. That said, Jolly would probably not thrive with a dominant male dog who’s trying to be CEO of the household. A dominant female? Potentially workable. Basically, he wants a roommate, not someone that tries to make him bow to their rule. Let’s talk about cats. He has not earned trust around small critters, and the pet rats in his orbit have already made it abundantly clear that they would prefer not to be part of whatever curiosity-driven nonsense might occur. So while we can’t say with absolute certainty how he does with cats, we can say he definitely isn't a good match with small rodents. When it comes to kids, though? Jolly shines. He absolutely loves them. He’s been around children roughly ages 8–13 and handles it like a seasoned professional. No jumping, no bulldozing, no chaotic parkour off small humans. He’s affectionate, excited to see them, and very much enjoys greeting them — sometimes enthusiastically hopping onto the bed. He’s gentle, respectful, and seems to genuinely enjoy kid company, making him a great match for families with older children who want a dog that’s loving without being overwhelming. Meeting new adults is where Jolly shows his slightly more thoughtful side. He’s friendly, waggy, and clearly happy to meet people — but he’s also not about that instant full-body stranger danger enthusiasm. He likes a little space at first. A quick vibe check. A moment to confirm you’re, in fact, not a threat. Once he’s satisfied, he warms up nicely without jumping all over you like a sentient trampoline. Honestly? It’s kind of refreshing. He’s polite, reserved in the best way, and proves that you can be friendly without acting like you’ve known someone since birth. Temperament-wise, Jolly is exactly what the label says. He’s happy. Consistently. Genuinely. He’s eager to please, easy to redirect, and full of quirky charm — especially thanks to his unique facial features, which only add to his endearing, slightly goofy vibe. He’s the perfect size: big enough to feel like a real dog, small enough that he’s not bulldozing furniture or children. Not a purse dog, not a wrecking ball. A solid, manageable, lovable medium. Jolly’s energy level lives comfortably at a solid 6 out of 10 — which translates to “enthusiastic without being exhausting” and “fun without making you question your life choices.” Adventure-wise, Jolly is refreshingly simple. He does not care where he is — he only cares who he is with. Road trip? Great. Walk around the block? Amazing. Standing in the kitchen doing nothing? Incredible experience, no notes. He’s curious and enjoys walks, but he’s just as content hanging out at home as long as his person is nearby. He’s not demanding constant stimulation; he’s demanding proximity. Emotional proximity. Physical proximity. Possibly soul-bond proximity. His favorite activities are refreshingly low-key. Walks are a highlight, being next to his person is non-negotiable, and he’s slowly figuring out how bones and toys work. He’s chased a ball a few times, is learning the fine art of playing with toys, and prefers to handle backyard business with a human supervisor present. Alone time in the yard? Pass. Quality time while sniffing? Yes, please. Housing-wise, Jolly would do just fine in an apartment as long as his needs for regular walks and sniffari adventures are met. A fenced yard is a bonus, but not a requirement — though off-leash freedom is definitely a future goal, not a current skill set. For now, he’s happiest being safely attached to his person, wherever that may be. Jolly is potty trained. As for kennels… Jolly has opted out of that lifestyle entirely. He hasn’t tried one, and frankly, he’s not convinced it’s necessary. Instead, he hangs out in the master bathroom when his human leaves — a setup he tolerates with the emotional bravery of a Victorian child being sent away to boarding school. He’s not destructive, not panicked, just deeply unimpressed that you would leave without him. Chewing? Nope. Mischief? Also nope. Counter surfing, trash diving, digging to China — none of it. Jolly is not here to test boundaries or make questionable decisions. He’s here to be good and would frankly like recognition for it. Barking-wise, Jolly is firmly in the “only speaks when necessary” category. He’s not announcing every leaf, delivery truck, or passing thought. HOWEVER — if you commit the unforgivable crime of leaving him outside on a beautiful day while the humans are inside? He may unleash a short, dramatic howl/cry combo that says, “Excuse me??? I belong with you.” Now for the important stuff. Jolly has had to learn everything — stairs, counters, routine, kindness. The concept of guaranteed meals was revolutionary. And kindness? That one’s still sinking in. Despite having every reason to be wary of people, he has chosen joy instead. He is loving, affectionate, and genuinely happy in a way that feels almost rebellious given what he’s been through. His tail wags harder than physics should allow, especially when food is involved — mealtime is his Super Bowl, and he approaches it with Olympic-level enthusiasm. If you’re thinking, “Wow, this sounds like my dog,” then congratulations — the next step is paperwork. The thrilling, glamorous part where dreams are made and inboxes are checked. Fill out the adoption app at https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app so we can send it along to his foster family, who will help decide if you are worthy of this perfect, jolly little gentleman. And just to keep things fun and realistic: you will need to pick him up in Tulsa, OK. Jolly does not teleport. He does not Uber. He will, however, be waiting patiently and enthusiastically for you to arrive. Apply. Come meet him. Fall in love. Take him home. Let him live out his best “finally safe, finally loved, always jolly” life — preferably curled up near you, watching you do absolutely anything, because that’s his favorite activity. 🐾💛

Meet Harmoney — the canine equivalent of your favorite cozy cardigan: comforting, dependable, makes everything feel better, and somehow always exactly where you need her. Harmoney is fun and friendly in that effortlessly charming way, like the friend who never has to try to be likable because everyone already adores them. She genuinely enjoys being part of her people’s world — following along, keeping tabs, and making sure everyone is where they’re supposed to be. She’s not clingy, but she’s always present. Naturally aware of her surroundings, Harmoney has a calm confidence that feels reassuring. In short, Harmoney is that perfect mix of sweet soul, loyal companion, and gentle guardian energy. Harmoney’s story starts the way too many of the bravest dogs’ stories do — quietly, unfairly, and with far more responsibility on her shoulders than any dog should ever have. At just 14 months old and 44 pounds, this sweet Border Collie mix somehow found herself in a shelter… with two days-old puppies at her side(Rhythm and Blues). Despite being barely more than a puppy herself, Harmoney stepped into motherhood like a pro. She was attentive, gentle, patient, and endlessly sweet. And then came the gut punch. At what should have been a routine checkup — the kind where you expect good news and a gold star — we learned that Harmoney is heartworm positive and has a torn ACL that she’s likely been compensating for far longer than anyone realized. Which means this sweet girl has been raising newborn puppies while dealing with chronic pain and a serious medical condition. Because of this, Harmoney’s journey to her forever home is going to take a little longer. Her puppies will soon be old enough, strong enough, and ready to head off to their own happily-ever-afters. Harmoney, however, has some healing to do. She’ll be completing heartworm treatment and then moving on to ACL surgery so that when she does start her next chapter, she can do it pain-free, healthy, and fully supported — for the first time in a long time. For potential adopters with hearts already leaning her direction: good news. If the timing isn’t quite right yet, you’re not behind. Harmoney won’t be ready to go home until around late April to early May, assuming everything goes smoothly with her recovery. That means there’s time — time to plan, time to prepare, and time for this incredible girl to finish the hardest chapter of her story before stepping into the one where she finally gets to be the priority. Harmoney is what we like to call socially flawless, which is unlike most of us, who are out here overthinking eye contact. With other dogs, she’s friendly, playful, and fully down to hang — the kind of girl who reads the room, matches energy, and doesn’t start unnecessary drama. Cats, on the other hand, receive a slightly more measured response. She’s not aggressive, not rude — just mildly suspicious, like a mom in a parking lot watching a teenager she doesn’t recognize. And honestly? Given that she just finished raising newborn puppies, that whole “momma bear” energy is completely understandable. We expect that curiosity and side-eye to soften as she gets further away from baby duty and settles fully into civilian life. Kids? She’s been around teens and handled it like the pro she is — gentle, affectionate, and unfazed by the chaos that teenagers naturally bring. While she hasn’t been tested with tiny humans yet, her loving nature and friendly disposition strongly suggest she’d do just fine with kids of all ages. She’s the kind of dog who seems to instinctively understand how to be soft and appropriate without needing a rulebook. As for meeting new people — Harmoney operates under the firm belief that strangers are simply friends she hasn’t loved on yet. She’s warm, welcoming, and immediately on board with new humans, offering affection without being overwhelming. Basically, if you walk through the door, congratulations: you’ve been accepted into the inner circle. No interview required. Harmoney’s energy level sits comfortably at a 6 out of 10. She’s not a couch ornament, but she’s also not trying to drag you into a 6 a.m. CrossFit class you didn’t consent to. She’s happy to participate in activities, sniff the world, go places, do things — and then clock out like a responsible adult who respects rest. Right now, Harmoney does require a gentle boost into the car because she’s temporarily operating on one good leg while waiting for her ACL surgery. Once she’s in the car, she’s a dream. She rides beautifully, settles in, and occasionally leans forward to check on you, and maybe sneak in a kiss. On leash, Harmoney is refreshingly normal — which, if you’ve ever walked a dog who believes leashes are a personal insult, you’ll understand is a huge compliment. She walks nicely to and from the car, into the vet’s office, and handles leash potty breaks like a seasoned professional. Long walks are currently on hold thanks to her leg, but short strolls are one of her favorite activities. She loves exploring and sniffing, taking in the world at a thoughtful pace like someone browsing a farmer’s market instead of sprinting through Target. Lifestyle-wise, Harmoney is the rare unicorn who can do both. Want an adventure buddy? She’s in. Want a quiet night binge-watching Netflix while emotionally attaching to fictional characters? She’s also in. She will happily go out and experience the world with you and then come home and lie near you on the floor like a loyal shadow who doesn’t breathe directly into your face. Balanced. Emotionally mature. Iconic. Overall, Harmoney’s temperament is best described as emotionally stable, which feels rare these days. She’s fun, friendly, deeply people-oriented, and genuinely enjoys being part of her humans’ world. She’s naturally aware of her surroundings and devoted to her family, offering a calm confidence that makes you feel safe — not micromanaged. Water play remains an unsolved mystery thanks to January being deeply rude with all this cold nonsense, but toys? Yes. Toys are approved. She enjoys them without turning them into shredded confetti within five minutes. As for living arrangements — Harmoney is wildly adaptable. Fenced yard? Cool. No fence but regular leash walks? Fine. Apartment life? She can absolutely do that too. She’s calm, intelligent, and flexible enough to thrive in just about any setup as long as she’s included and loved. Harmoney is, quite frankly, suspiciously well-behaved — the kind of dog who makes you double-check your cameras because surely something must be happening when you’re not looking. Harmoney is fully potty trained, which means she understands the basic social contract of indoor living and takes her bathroom business outside like a civilized adult. Chewing? Shockingly absent. She’s not here to redecorate your home, gnaw your table legs, or sample drywall. As for kenneling, she has not participated in that chapter of dog life yet — mostly because she’s been busy running a full-time maternity ward. Instead of a crate, Harmoney has her own carefully arranged puppy suite where she’s been nursing her babies like the responsible, overachieving single mom she is. Barking? Allegedly possible, but unconfirmed. We have yet to hear a single bark. If you’re feeling that spark, the next step is not yelling “SHE’S MINE” into the void — it’s filling out an adoption application at https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app so we can pass it along to her foster family for review. Bureaucracy is boring, yes, but it’s how true love works in rescue. Paperwork first. Snuggles later. Important logistical note (because we love you, but we also love clarity): Harmoney’s pickup location will be Skiatook, Oklahoma. So if you’re ready to commit to a truly wonderful dog and a road trip to Skiatook, you’re already off to a strong start.
