Missy is a kind loving dog. She is perfect for people who want an animal with no needs. She will snuggle with you at all times. We unfortunately have two littles under 3 and another on the way and Missy needs all the love and affection that we unfortunately cannot provide. We've had her for multiple years.

Story
Meet Asha – the ultimate overachiever in the categories of lounging and loving. Asha is what we like to call emotionally available – she’ll bond faster than your last Amazon Prime delivery and loves hard. She’s sweet, gentle, and will follow you around like she’s on a mission to become your shadow’s understudy. Basically, she’s the safe, soft-hearted sidekick you didn’t know you needed… but now can’t imagine life without. She’s the kind of dog who’ll make you feel like the most important person in the world within 3.5 seconds of meeting you — mostly because she’s already decided you’re her emotional support human. Safe? Absolutely. Sweet? To a fault. And once she loves you (which again, takes about the length of one sneeze), you’re stuck. Forever. Like glitter. Meet Asha — a 2-year-old, 63-pound Great Pyrenees whose gentle spirit and loving heart have remained unshaken, even through some incredibly difficult times. Asha came to us from a shelter, where she found herself on the euthanasia list after being left unclaimed—with a large tumor hanging from the side of her face. Despite the pain and confusion, she remained sweet, calm, and affectionate with everyone she met. Thankfully, one of our wonderful foster families stepped up just in time, and thanks to the skill and compassion of our veterinary partners, her tumor was successfully removed. Her incision is nearly fully healed now, and she’s feeling better than ever.Asha is the perfect blend of laid-back and loving. She’s just as happy curling up for a quiet afternoon nap as she is riding shotgun for a treat run. She forms bonds quickly and deeply, offering the kind of unconditional affection that only a rescue dog can. She’s safe. She’s sweet. And she’s ready to write a new chapter—this time with a forever family who sees her for the beautiful soul she truly is. Asha is basically that one friend who gets along with everyone—dogs included. She’s the type who walks into a room, does a polite sniff-around like she’s reading the vibe, and then settles in like she’s always been part of the group. She doesn’t need to be in the middle of the play session, but she likes to know she’s invited. Now, when she first met Major(the resident dog), things were… let’s say tense. He wasn’t thrilled to share the spotlight, but Asha handled it like a total pro—gave him some space, didn’t take his dramatics personally, and let him come around on his own timeline. (He did. He’s obsessed now.) She met a couple of kids recently—ages 8 and 11—and read the room better than most adults. The younger one was clearly a little intimidated by her size (fair, she is part pony), and Asha immediately softened her approach. No jumping, no wild energy—just a slow flop to the floor and a full tummy display, like, “I’m harmless, I promise. You can pet me now.” Cats? She’s seen one. Didn’t chase it, bark at it, or try to interview it. The cat was probably more concerned than she was. Asha just gave it a side glance like, “You do your thing, whiskers. I’ve got naps to take.” And when it comes to grown-ups? Asha thinks you’re great. All of you. She gives a warm, happy greeting without turning into a caffeine-fueled tornado, then politely parks herself nearby in case you feel like giving her some attention. She’s sweet, respectful, and somehow still manages to make every new person feel like they just met their favorite dog. Basically, she’s the total package—diplomatic, affectionate, and socially savvy. Asha’s energy level clocks in at a solid 3 out of 10—which is basically the canine version of a koala crossed with a sleepy golden retriever. If you’re looking for a dog who treats movement as an optional activity unless snacks or car rides are involved, congratulations—you may have just found your soulmate. She’s not going to be your hiking partner for that sunrise summit, but she will accompany you on a leisurely stroll. Despite her preference for lounging, she’s a surprisingly stellar road trip buddy. None of that “panting at every red light” drama here—she's more of a chill co-pilot, gazing out the window like she’s contemplating life’s deeper questions (like why pup cups aren’t free healthcare). With a little help from her doodle foster brother, she’s now a pro car companion—quiet, relaxed, and very pleased to be included. Leash walking? She’s not going to win gold in the Obedience Olympics, but she’s not trying to drag you down the block like a sled dog in the Iditarod either. Unless there’s another dog nearby—then she briefly becomes the mayor of Excitedville. And yes, if she catches a really interesting smell, expect a full-on stubborn statue moment. She’s only been on two “official” walks, but she strutted her stuff like she was auditioning for Dog Bachelor. As for her hobbies, it’s a pretty short list. Napping, cuddling, maybe trying a toy if no one’s watching. She’s dabbled in playtime—it was adorable and slightly awkward, like someone trying yoga for the first time—but she’d honestly prefer a 24/7 petting schedule. She’s not high-maintenance, but she is very in favor of being adored like the majestic, velvet-nosed queen she is.Her temperament? In a word: sweet. In more words: dangerously sweet. She bonds fast, loves hard, and has that “I will imprint on you like a baby duck” energy. She’s smart—like, “quietly outsmarting the humans and pretending she didn’t” smart. Her memory is suspiciously good, so don’t make promises you can’t keep... especially if those promises involve snacks. She absolutely loves being outside, so if you’re apartment-bound with no yard, she’s probably not your girl. She enjoys sunbathing, supervising passersby from a safe distance, and making sure the wind is doing what it’s supposed to. Bottom line: Asha is a low-drama, high-sweetness kind of dog who just wants a soft place to land, a few short adventures, and a lifetime supply of belly rubs. Asha is, in fact, potty trained. She’s polite, dignified, and far too fabulous to do her business indoors like some kind of heathen. As for kenneling... hard no. If you’re looking for a dog who happily trots into a crate and tucks herself in like she’s checking into a cozy doggy hotel, Asha is not your girl. She gave it an honest try—for two nights—and responded with what can only be described as soul-crushing wails straight out of a Victorian ghost story. Not barking. Not whining. Wailing. Like a heartbroken opera singer who lost her will to sing. She sleeps quietly through the night on her bed, doesn’t wander, doesn’t get into things, and generally acts like she’s been free-roaming responsibly her entire life. She doesn’t need a crate to behave—she just needs a home that understands that not every dog finds comfort behind a closed door. So, if you’re thinking of bringing her home and sticking her in a crate while you’re at work—respectfully, don’t. It simply isn't necessary for her. Asha’s barking style? Let’s just say she’s not out here narrating every squirrel movement like a neighborhood gossip, but she will absolutely sound the alarm if something seems off. Suspicious noise outside? Bark. Mailman approaching? Bark. Ghostly presence from another dimension? Possibly bark, just to be safe. She saves the big, dramatic barks for things she deems truly important(although you may not always agree on the level of importance)—like potential intruders, strange sounds, or, you know, a plastic bag blowing across the yard with malicious intent. When she’s bored or just wants a little attention, she tones it down to more of a low rumble or cute little "notice me" bark—kind of like she’s trying to keep it professional but still get her point across. If you’ve made it this far and are thinking, “Wow, this majestic land cloud sounds perfect”—you’re absolutely right. But before you go planning matching outfits and road trips, there’s one small catch: you’ll need to fill out an adoption application at https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app (yes, we require paperwork—because this girl doesn't just deserve a home...she deserves the PYRfect home), and you'll need to come pick her up in Moore, Oklahoma. That’s right—no shipping, no teleportation, no Uber for dogs. Just you, your car, and the open road leading to the best decision you’ll ever make. Don’t worry—she’ll make it worth the drive.

Story
Somewhere between a windswept moor, a coming-of-age novel, and a tiny fluffy philosopher dramatically staring out a window watching the rain fall… you’ll find Brontë. Brontë is a sweet, playful little soul with the perfect mix of curiosity and tenderness. She’s brave enough to venture off and inspect the world on her own, but still sensitive enough to come back and make sure you’re nearby when the universe feels a little too big. She observes everything with those thoughtful eyes. Basically, if you’ve ever wanted a puppy who feels like she belongs in a classic novel but still occasionally forgets how gravity works, Brontë may be your girl. 📍 Location: Tulsa, OK -Adopters will need to come pick up their new furry family member themselves. Apply at: https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app Brontë is a 9 week old, 7 lb female Great Pyrenees mix, and frankly, her backstory sounds less like a puppy rescue and more like the opening chapter of a gothic novel someone wrote during a thunderstorm. She was found abandoned in a cemetery. Yes. An actual cemetery. Alongside her siblings Eliot and Wilde. You read that correctly. A cemetery. Somewhere out there, an English literature professor just got goosebumps and doesn’t know why. From there, the trio landed in an overcrowded shelter where dogs just kept pouring in faster than space could be made. With no room left, these babies soon found themselves on death row before they were even old enough to understand what safety was supposed to feel like. Thankfully, a foster family stepped in just in time and gave them the second chance they deserved. But the universe apparently looked at these puppies and said, “What if we added one more tragic chapter?” because shortly after arriving in foster care, parvo struck. All three puppies became critically ill and had to be hospitalized. And yet…Brontë fought. Hard. Underneath her soft puppy fluff is a brave little soul who refused to quit. She battled her way through parvo like the determined heroine she is, and now she’s back to doing what puppies should be doing: bringing joy, smiles, kisses, and just a touch of adorable nonsense to her foster family every single day. She’s the kind of puppy who survived the hard parts without losing her softness. And that’s something pretty special. Brontë approaches social situations like a tiny Victorian lady attending her first society ball. She stands back for approximately seven seconds to observe the drama, evaluate the vibes, and silently judge everyone’s life choices… and then suddenly she jumps right in. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and especially enjoys playing with her siblings. She’s not usually the one starting the nonsense, but she absolutely believes in supporting the nonsense once it’s underway. When it comes to kids, however, Brontë has already decided they are magical tiny humans specifically created to play with her. She’s been around 7 and 9 year olds and thought they were absolutely delightful. She was playful, silly, affectionate, and fully prepared to join whatever adventure they were inventing at the moment. Meeting new people? She does great, although she can be just a touch cautious at first — but only because her sister apparently enters every room like she’s campaigning for public office. Compared to that level of confidence, Brontë is the thoughtful introvert in the family. She may pause briefly to assess new people before deciding they are acceptable…and then she’s all in for cuddles, kisses, and tiny puppy antics. Cats are currently a mystery. Much like the ending of several classic novels, we simply do not know how that storyline develops yet. Brontë’s energy level is about a 6/10. She absolutely has adventure potential, but in a very “I will accompany my emotional support human to the ends of the earth” kind of way. Brontë feels less like an independent wilderness explorer and more like the loyal sidekick in a period drama who quietly follows the main character into danger while wondering if maybe everyone could’ve just stayed home with snacks instead. Temperament-wise, Brontë is sweet, playful, observant, and just brave enough to investigate suspicious activity independently before reporting back to headquarters. She’s the puppy equivalent of someone peeking around a corner in a scary movie going, “Hello? …this seems questionable.” She has a sensitive little soul under all that fluff. She thinks about things. She processes the world carefully before fully committing herself to the nonsense. Baths are handled with cautious professionalism. She tolerates them well, although she does appear mildly confused by the concept of standing in water while simultaneously trying to drink it. Like a tiny fuzzy scientist conducting hydration research against her will. And toys? Oh yes. Toys are wonderful. Toys are enrichment. Toys are entertainment. Toys are also apparently meant to be carried around proudly like she personally hunted and conquered them in the wild. Overall, Brontë feels like the kind of puppy who could happily spend the day adventuring with you and then immediately come home, curl up nearby, and stare at you lovingly like you just survived war together because you went to Tractor Supply. Now, while Brontë is absolutely adorable and emotionally convincing enough to make you forget every ounce of common sense you’ve ever had, it is important to remember that she is still very much a baby. A fluffy little infant with paws. Socialization will be especially important for Brontë because she has that thoughtful, observant personality. She’s brave and curious, but continuing to expose her positively to new people, places, sounds, animals, and experiences will help her grow into a confident, well-rounded adult instead of a dramatic neighborhood security consultant barking because someone sneezed in another zip code. Training should be approached with patience, humor, and realistic expectations. This is a Pyrenees mix, which means there is a very high chance she will hear your commands, understand your commands, and then calmly decide whether your ideas align with her personal beliefs. Obedience with Pyrs is less “yes sir” and more “thank you for your suggestion; I will review it and circle back.” The good news is that beneath all the puppy nonsense is a genuinely wonderful little dog with a sweet heart, a thoughtful personality, and so much potential. She just needs a family willing to help guide her through the “tiny adorable hooligan” phase into the amazing companion she’s clearly meant to become. If you’re looking for a puppy with personality, resilience, softness, and just enough dramatic literary energy to make life more entertaining, Brontë would love to meet you. Now before anyone starts typing “OMG I WANT HER” directly into the Facebook comments like that legally binding somehow… please remember you need to actually fill out an adoption application first so we can send it along to her foster family for review. 📍Brontë is being fostered in Tulsa, Oklahoma, and adopters will need to come pick her up there. No, she cannot drive herself home. Apply to adopt here: https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app And as always, if you can’t adopt, PLEASE share her post. Facebook likes to hide rescue dogs from the world unless enough people poke the algorithm with a stick first.

Story
🚨 INTRODUCING: ELPHABA (yes, like the green one, but fluffier and slightly less dramatic) 🚨 (AKA: Ollie, Queen of Zoomies and Stretchy Naps™) Are you looking for a calm, quiet couch potato who spends her days napping peacefully and contemplating the meaning of life? Cool, so are we. You just won’t find her here. Elphaba is a high-energy, happy-go-lucky whirlwind of joy wrapped in fluff and curiosity. She wakes up each day like she’s just had a motivational speech from a toddler in a superhero cape. She wants to see things. Do things. Sniff things. Preferably all at once. She’s got a PhD in Inquisitiveness, a minor in Zoomies, and she specializes in “Stretchy Naps” — where she elongates her body to impossible dimensions and melts into the floor like butter on a summer sidewalk. If you’ve ever wanted a personal life coach who reminds you that the world is FULL of stuff to explore, Elphaba’s your girl. This 8-month-old, 45lb Great Pyrenees mix has all the makings of a star: high energy, endless curiosity, and an enthusiastic approach to life that includes investigating every corner of your house and then dramatically collapsing in a heap like she just finished a three-act play. Elphaba is what happens when you mix joy, caffeine, and curiosity into one big squishy marshmallow. She's absolutely happy-go-lucky, armed with endless energy and a nose that must investigate everything. Her previous adopters realized they weren’t quite ready for the full Elpahaba experience (puppy energy, grooming needs, you know—the usual fluffy gremlin stuff), so they’re kindly fostering her until she finds the right forever home. In the meantime, she’ll be perfecting her nap stretches and collecting squeaky toys like awards. Elphaba fancies herself a socialite, which is great… unless you’re her older foster sister who just wants to nap without being tackled by 45 pounds of optimism. She absolutely thrives in a multi-dog home—as long as the other dogs don’t mind having their personal space routinely violated by someone who’s just so excited to be here. She means no harm, really. She’ll happily trade her pestering for a plush toy the moment you wave one in front of her face. It’s less “bully” and more “golden retriever in a toddler’s body.” As for cats? We haven’t tested her yet, so for now we’re going to assume she’d either try to adopt them… or accidentally cause a household mutiny. Jury’s still out. Tiny humans? She’s been around them all—from babies to older kids and even a child with special needs—and she’s handled it like a champ. She thinks kids are just funny-looking puppies with snacks and sticky fingers, and honestly? She wants in. Occasionally, she needs a gentle reminder to give the youngest some space, but she’s all love and just wants to be part of the gang. New people are her jam. She greets strangers like long-lost friends, often with the kind of enthusiasm normally reserved for surprise pizza deliveries. After she’s gotten in a few full-body wiggles and a sniff or two, she settles into her “I’m your new best friend” role like it was made for her. Basically, if you’re not into extroverts who love kids, dogs, toys, and literally everyone they’ve ever met… you might want to keep scrolling. If Elphaba’s energy level were a mix of animals, she’d be somewhere between a curious fox and a golden retriever who just discovered tennis balls. She’s not bouncing off the walls 24/7—but she’s no slouch either. We’d give her a solid 8 out of 10 on the energy scale, but it’s the kind of energy that says, “I’d love a backyard adventure… but I also nap like it’s a competitive sport.” She’s got just enough oomph to keep things interesting without making you question all your life choices. In the car, she starts out like a cracked-out Jack-in-the-box, bouncing from seat to seat like she’s checking for treasure. But give her a towel, a solid five minutes, and the vague hope of snacks, and she settles down like a seasoned road-tripper. Long drives? She’s golden. On leash? Believe it or not, this girl has manners. After some good ol’ leash training, she walks like she’s campaigning for neighborhood mayor—confident, polite, and maybe just a little nosey. She’s not dragging you to Mordor or pancaking in protest. She’s just vibing. As for her sense of adventure? She’s still deciding. One minute she’s channeling Dora the Explorer, determined to sniff every inch of the yard, and the next she’s doing her best impersonation of a throw pillow. Right now, we’d classify her as a young, mildly adventurous, and super inquisitive soul. Temperament-wise, she’s the happy-go-lucky golden retriever spirit stuffed into a Great Pyrenees mix body and a strong passion for whatever you’re doing, plus whatever she’s doing, plus whatever might be happening three houses over. She is the dog equivalent of “Yes, and?”—always ready to jump into the next activity with unearned confidence and full tail-wag commitment. Her hobbies? Oh, honey. She is the reigning queen of plush toy destruction. Got a new stuffed squeaky friend? Not for long. She will lovingly carry it to her lair (aka the living room) and perform emergency fluff removal like it’s her life’s mission. Her toy basket is her pride and joy, and yes, she does know when a new toy has entered the premises. She’s not here for apartment life. She absolutely needs a fenced yard to burn off the crazy, no offense to your patio, but Elphaba needs a real yard to thrive. That said, she’s happiest when her day includes a good walk where she can pretend she’s starring in an indie film and sniff every leaf like it’s a potential Oscar winner. In short: Elphaba is your girl if you want a hilarious, high-energy fluffball with equal parts fun, charm, and cuddle. And if you’ve got a sense of humor, a fenced yard, and a plush toy budget, she’s ready to move in. Elphaba? Potty trained like a pro, thank you very much. She knows the difference between your living room rug and the great outdoors, and she’s not about to embarrass herself with any rookie mistakes. At night, she puts herself to bed like the responsible adult she absolutely isn’t the rest of the day. Her crate? Oh, she loves it—treats it like a spa retreat with memory foam. During the day though? She’s out and about living her best uncrated life, supervising your every move like the nosey fluffball she is. Now, let’s talk puppy-proofing—because while Elphaba may sleep like an angel and pee where she’s supposed to, don’t let that fluffy innocence fool you. She’s still very much a puppy. So yes, your house will need to be puppy-proofed unless you enjoy living dangerously. Think of her as a tiny home inspector, but instead of making notes, she just drags the evidence under the bed. Elphaba isn’t exactly the neighborhood gossip. In fact, she’s more of the “silent observer who’s secretly judging everything” type. She rarely barks—like, rarely—and when she does, it’s usually just because her foster sister decided to kick off the drama first. She's not out here announcing every Amazon delivery or wind-blown leaf like she’s on HOA patrol. Inside the house? Practically mute. It’s almost suspicious how quiet she is… like she’s planning something. But rest assured, it’s probably just which toy she’s going to disembowel next. So, if you’ve made it this far and you’re still thinking, “Yes, I do want a plushie-shredding, nap-stretching, low-key genius in a floofy disguise,” then congratulations—you might just be Elphaba’s person. But fair warning: she doesn’t come with a delivery option. You’ll need to physically transport yourself to Tahlequah, Oklahoma to collect your new favorite roommate. No broomsticks, no flying monkeys—just you, a car, and an adoption application. 📝 Apply here: https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app Go ahead. Adopt the floof. Your throw pillows were getting too comfortable anyway.

Story
If golden retrievers are sunshine and cinnamon rolls are happiness, then Scoobie is what happens when you combine both… and then give it legs and a heartbeat. Hi, I’m Scoobie—professional softie, full-time sweetheart, and part-time expert in making humans question if they’ve ever actually known kindness before meeting me. My personality? Think warm honey drizzled over sunshine with a side of “I just want to love you forever, is that okay?” I’d love to tell you I came into this world like a golden retriever commercial—sunshine, slow motion, tail wagging in a field of wildflowers. However, that is not my story. See, life didn’t exactly start out as a fairy tale for me. I don’t talk about it much, but let’s just say I didn’t grow up knowing the best of humanity or what it meant to be someone’s “spoiled baby.” And when I finally thought things might change… I landed in a shelter and almost never left. Four months. Four months of watching other dogs get chosen. Four months of hearing kennel doors open… just not mine. Do you know what that feels like? To keep wondering if you’re doing something wrong… if maybe you’re just… not the one anyone is looking for? Especially when you’re told you’re the kind of dog people usually line up for. Turns out, even “designer” doesn’t guarantee you a happy ending. But here’s the thing about me—I didn’t give up. I’m still here. Still sweet. Still trying. And now that I am safe in rescue, I’m learning that the world might not be so scary after all. That hands can be kind. That being part of a family isn’t just something I watch happen for other dogs. I’m figuring out how to be a dog now—how to relax, how to trust, how to exist without always waiting for the other shoe to drop. There are still new things I’m getting used to. Grooming? Let’s just say… not my personal favorite activity (but hey, I was pretty matted, so I get it). Learning routines, learning comfort, learning that I don’t always have to be on guard… it’s all a work in progress. But if you’re looking for a dog who will love you with his whole heart once he knows he’s safe… If you’re the kind of person who understands that the quiet ones often have the deepest love to give… I might just be your guy. On paper? I’m basically the dog version of a sold-out luxury item. One-year-old? ✔️ 35 pounds of perfectly portable fluff? ✔️ Goldendoodle? ✔️ (yes, that word people put on waitlists for) Adorable muppet face that looks like I was hand-sketched by Disney? ✔️ But here’s the part they don’t always put in the doodle brochure…Not all of us start out as someone’s spoiled, well-socialized dream dog. Some of us had to figure life out the hard way first. So while I’ve got all the “desirable” traits on paper, what I really bring to the table is something a little different—a soft heart that’s learning how to trust, a gentle soul that just wants to belong, and a quiet kind of love that grows deeper the safer I feel. When it comes to other dogs, I’d like to formally announce that I am an excellent coworker. Take my friend Rosie, for example. We have a very professional relationship where we… chase each other at full speed, wrestle like it’s an Olympic sport, and then immediately pass out like we just worked a double shift. I’m not here to start drama. I’m not here to be the boss. I’m not scheduling meetings or filing complaints. I’m just here for good vibes, respectful play, and maybe a shared nap afterward. I’m pretty good at reading the room (and the dog). If they want to play, I’m in. If they want space, I’m like “totally fair, I will simply exist over here and mind my business.” So if your current dog is looking for a fun, easygoing friend who won’t steal their job or their identity… I’m your guy. When it comes to cats… I would like to say I am a respectful investigator. Like yes, I’m curious. Very curious. You’re small, you move mysteriously, and you act like you pay the mortgage—of course I have questions. BUT. I am also a gentleman who understands boundaries… especially when my human uses the magical phrase “leave it.” Apparently that means, “Scoobie, stop your investigative journalism immediately,” and I’m like, “understood, shutting it down.” So while I may observe, sniff, and occasionally consider writing a full documentary titled “What Even Is a Cat?”… I do listen, I redirect well, and I’m learning. When it comes to kids, I’ve been spending time with the teenage crowd (13 and 16), and honestly… I think I nailed the assignment. I’m gentle, affectionate, and fully committed to the art of the cuddle. No chaos, no nonsense—just me casually leaning in like, “Hi yes, I live here now, please continue petting.” That said… the tiny human tornado phase? Probably not my speed. I can startle easily with quick movements or loud, unpredictable energy, so I’d do best in a home with older, more respectful kiddos who understand that sometimes I just need a minute to process the world. Energy level? Oh, I’m sitting at a solid 8/10—which means I’m the perfect mix of “let’s go do something fun” and “wow, that was great, I will now nap like it was my full-time job.” As for car rides—I’m happy to hop in like a pro. No lifting required, I’ve got legs and I know how to use them. Once I’m in, I do just fine… however… let’s just say I believe in keeping my options open. Doors open? Windows down? I might consider a surprise “field trip.” So basically: I ride well, I load myself, I just need a secure setup so I don’t audition for “Fast & Furious: Scoobie Edition.” At least in the beginning, when I am still learning that I don't have to live my life in flight mode anymore. Am I an adventure dog? Eventually, sure. Right now? I’m more of a “let’s not emotionally spiral today” kind of guy. I’ve been through some things, okay? So while I do have that fun, playful side, what I really need first is something a lot less glamorous than mountain hikes and brewery patios… Stability. Routine. A home where I can finally exhale and realize I don’t have to be on edge anymore. Right now, I do best when life is a little predictable. A safe space, familiar people, a rhythm I can learn and trust—that’s how I start to relax and let my personality really shine. Once I feel secure? Oh, we can absolutely start adding in new adventures, little by little. Alright, let’s talk about my lifestyle requirements. First things first—I am not an “apartment with a quick leash walk” kind of guy right now. I need a securely fenced yard… and even then, I would like to politely inform you that I come equipped with advanced landscaping skills if left unattended. All I have ever done in my previous life is run, so until I know I am home security and supervision are key with me. Crates? Hard pass. I spent months in one before, and I’d really prefer not to revisit that chapter. The good news? I’ve been free-roaming for short periods and doing great—no redecorating projects or destruction, just me existing like a respectable member of society. I do enjoy the finer things in life, like couches and beds (specifically yours). I sleep in bed like the sweet, slightly oversized stuffed animal that I am. I’ll bark if other dogs start something through the fence—because I believe in standing up for myself—but I’m not out here yelling into the void for no reason. I need regular grooming. It is not optional. I am a doodle. This is part of the contract. HOWEVER… I currently feel very strongly that groomers are suspicious individuals with questionable intentions. We’re going to need a patient, experienced groomer and an adopter willing to work through that with me over time.. Am I perfect...no. But I’ve also got a whole lot of sweetness, a desire to learn, and a heart that’s trying really hard to trust the world again. If you’re someone who sees potential, not perfection…and you’re ready to help me become the dog I was always meant to be—I promise, I’m worth it. So here’s the deal… If you’re looking for a perfectly polished, fully trained, zero-quirks robot dog—respectfully, keep scrolling. BUT if you want a ridiculously sweet, snuggly, muppet-faced best friend who will love you with his whole entire heart once he knows he’s safe… hi, it’s me. I’m your guy. And honestly? Watching me learn, grow, and realize life is actually good now… that’s the kind of thing that sticks with you. Now for the part where you prove you’re serious: Don’t just sit there thinking, “wow, what a cute, emotionally complex little man.” Be brave. Be bold. Be the main character. Fill out the adoption app so my people can send it over to my foster family for approval (yes, I do have standards now, thank you very much). 👉 https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app And when you get approved? Congratulations—you now have a very important appointment in Tulsa, OK to come pick up your new slightly dramatic, very lovable, pillow-sharing soulmate. I’ll be here… practicing my snuggles and pretending I don’t hear you open a bag of snacks without me.

Story
Somewhere out there, a Disney cricket is singing about wishes coming true… and meanwhile Crickette is out here trying to make sure you never go to the bathroom alone again. 🦗✨ Location: Skiatook, OK Apply at: https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app This girl may not carry a tiny umbrella or wear a little top hat, but she does come with a whole lot of heart, a busy little brain, and the firm belief that she should be included in absolutely everything you do. Crickette is incredibly smart, affectionate, and wonderfully engaging. She has the kind of personality that keeps you laughing because she’s always thinking, always curious, and always trying to figure out what’s happening around her. And yes, sometimes you can physically watch her brain buffering in real time. One second she’s lovingly staring into your soul, the next she’s forgotten why she walked into the room because a dust particle floated by suspiciously. She approaches life like Doug from Up with unlimited WiFi tabs open in her brain at all times — “I love you! Want cuddles! What’s that noise? Is that a snack? Oh my gosh a leaf!!” But honestly? That’s part of her magic. Underneath the adorable scatterbrained antics is a deeply loving, affectionate dog who settles down beautifully, bonds hard with her people, and genuinely just wants to be wherever you are — preferably touching you in some capacity while she supervises your entire existence. Crickette is a 2-year-old, 49lb female Husky/German Shepherd mix. Yeah yeah, we know. Some of you just felt your blood pressure rise a little and started having flashbacks to videos of Huskies screaming because someone gave them the wrong brand of ice cube. 😅 But while Crickette definitely has the goofy “there’s elevator music playing between my ears” Husky energy sometimes, she is surprisingly not the kind of Husky who spends her free time arguing with walls, filing noise complaints because you stopped petting her for three seconds, or dramatically screaming like a Victorian woman fainting onto a chaise lounge because she was asked to come inside. Instead, Crickette is soulful, incredibly loving, ridiculously cuddly, and honestly just wants to make everyone around her happy. She’s the kind of dog who looks at you with those deep thoughtful eyes like she understands your tax stress and emotional baggage. She bonds hard with her people and genuinely thrives on love, attention, and being part of the family. And thanks to that German Shepherd intelligence, when it came time to have her puppies, Crickette said, “Absolutely not, I will not be giving birth on the cold hard ground like some sort of peasant.” This girl found herself a couch and had her babies there instead. Not long after, Crickette and her puppies ended up in the shelter, where thankfully she made her way to us soon after. And while she may have started out as a stray mama trying to survive the best way she knew how, it’s very clear this girl was always meant to be someone’s beloved companion. Crickette absolutely loves meeting new people and approaches life with the enthusiasm of someone who believes every stranger was specifically placed on Earth to be her friend. If you come over to the house, she would very much like to greet you personally, show you where the snacks are kept, and possibly supervise your entire visit. When it comes to other dogs, Crickette does wonderfully with medium and large dogs and really enjoys having canine buddies to interact with. Small dogs, however, are probably not her thing. Somewhere deep in that Husky/German Shepherd brain, she seems to believe tiny animals are suspicious little woodland creatures sent to test her self-control, so a home without small dogs would definitely be best. Cats? Crickette sees cats less as roommates and more as unauthorized moving objects that must be investigated immediately. So she will need a kitty-free home where nobody has to live in fear of being dramatically pursued down the hallway. She’s only been around teenagers in her foster home so far, but honestly she has such a loving, nurturing personality that we think she would likely do very well with kids. That said, Crickette occasionally has “Doug from Up spotting a squirrel” moments where her thoughts leave her body for a second and she gets a little spastic or distracted in her excitement. Because of that, kids around 8 and older who understand respectful dog interactions would probably be the best. At the end of the day, Crickette is just an incredibly affectionate, sociable dog who genuinely wants to love and be loved. She’s goofy, smart, entertaining, and the kind of dog who fills a house with personality the second she walks into it. Crickette’s energy level sits around a solid 7, which basically means she’s not training for an ultramarathon through the Arctic tundra like some Huskies seem emotionally committed to doing, but she’s also not going to spend 14 consecutive hours pretending to be decorative throw furniture either. She likes being active, involved, and mentally engaged — but she also knows how to settle down and relax once she’s satisfied her daily need to supervise the universe. She walks really well on leash overall, though if something catches her attention, she will suddenly remember she has investigative journalism to complete immediately. A leaf blowing suspiciously across the road? Needs inspection. Weird sound in the bushes? Potentially life-changing information. As for adventures, Crickette falls somewhere in the middle. She’s not a nonstop go-go-go adrenaline junkie, but she’s definitely not a couch potato either. She’s what we’d call a professional busybody. If something interesting is happening, she wants to be included. She likes to know what’s going on, where everyone is, and whether she should personally supervise it. And honestly, that personality is what makes her so lovable. Crickette is incredibly smart, affectionate, and engaging with a funny little scatterbrained streak that keeps life entertaining. One minute she’s laser-focused on cuddling you like you’re the center of her world, the next she’s distracted because she heard a bird cough three counties away. But underneath all of that curiosity is a deeply loving dog who forms strong bonds with her people and genuinely just wants to be involved in everyday life. he enjoys toys, prefers land over water activities (because apparently she skipped the “dramatic Husky splashing montage” software update), and overall just has that wonderful balance of playful, loving, curious, and sweet. Crickette will definitely need a securely fenced yard or a very walk-committed human who’s prepared to provide multiple daily neighborhood investigations, squirrel surveillance missions, and “ma’am please stop trying to inspect that bush” negotiations. This girl has places to be, things to sniff, and absolutely no interest in living a sedentary lifestyle like some sort of decorative throw pillow. Crickette already knows commands like sit, up, and down, and she learns quickly. She also randomly offers her paw like a tiny furry businesswoman trying to close an important deal, though nobody is entirely sure what prompts it. Honestly, Crickette feels like the kind of dog who could learn just about anything if someone put the time into her. Trick training, advanced obedience, goofy party tricks — the potential is absolutely there, and she genuinely seems to enjoy using her brain. She’s potty trained, does well when kenneled for shorter periods, and overall has very good house manners. She doesn’t chew on things she shouldn’t and generally behaves very well in the home. Right now she sleeps in her designated puppy area with her babies and also stays there while her foster is away. As for barking, Crickette is honestly pretty quiet overall. At the end of the day, Crickette is just an incredibly smart, friendly, loving girl with so much potential. She’s goofy, engaging, affectionate, curious, and wonderfully people-oriented. With continued structure, guidance, and someone willing to embrace her funny little scatterbrained personality, she is going to make an absolutely incredible companion. ❤️ Crickette is smart, affectionate, loyal, cuddly, endlessly entertaining, and has the kind of personality that makes a house feel more alive the second she walks into it. Somewhere out there is a family who will absolutely adore her goofy little brain, her giant heart, and her need to personally supervise every aspect of daily life — and honestly, we can’t wait for her to find them. ❤️ If you think that might be you, fill out an adoption application so we can send it over to her foster family for review. Please do not simply stare dramatically at her photos whispering “what a beautiful dog” while contributing nothing else to society. Crickette cannot process your emotional support likes and telepathic adoption interest into an actual home. Applications are required, humans. Crickette is located in Skiatook, OK and adopters will need to come pick her up there. She would like to remind everyone that she already survived motherhood, the shelter, and her own scatterbrained thoughts — the least you can do is make the drive.
