Husky puppies and dogs in Tulsa, Oklahoma

Gracie is a sweet older gal with a big heart for people. Even though she came from a sad situation where she was neglected terribly, she holds no grudges against humans and just wants to be loved. She is a cuddle bug and does great with kids. We had her in our home with our 6 year old and they spent a lot of time together. After about 3 weeks she really started to settle down quite a bit and was less anxious. She began to learn house rules pretty quickly and does very well being busy with a kong toy filled with treats. We're happy to see her recovering and gaining much needed weight. When she was rescued, she was emaciated with hip and rib bones dramatically showing. She had very little fur and bright red skin all over. She’s growing little tufts of fur back and her skin is looking much more calm these days. Gracie wants to be with her people. She also does great in the car. Because she spent so much time outside on a chain, she will also need patience in learning house rules. She will help herself to snacks on counters. She’s a spry girl for her advanced age and loves to play, run and jump around. Squeaky toys are her favorite. She walks nicely on a leash. She is potty trained and will talk to you when she needs to go out. Gracie has brought so much love and fun and we know she will be a blessing to someone. She would love a long-term foster home or a forever home where she can really settle in with her people, love them, and be loved and nurtured. With her sensitive skin, a diet that does not contain chicken would be the safest bet. She is also dog friendly but wouldn't mind living as a solo pet. She prefers polite animals that won't jump on her.

Crickette's Official Guide to Living Your Best Life 📍 Pickup Location: Skiatook, Oklahoma Adopters will need to come pick up their new furry family member themselves. 📝 Apply here: https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app Congratulations! By opening this handbook, you've already taken the first step toward living the kind of life Crickette fully supports—a life filled with adventures, snacks, belly rubs, and making friends with literally everyone you meet. You see, Crickette has life pretty much figured out. While the rest of us are over here stressing about emails, laundry, and whether we remembered to thaw the chicken, Crickette has mastered the important things: greeting every day like it's the greatest day ever, assuming every stranger is just a friend she hasn't met yet, and believing every car ride ends somewhere exciting. (Honestly... she's probably onto something.) This sweet girl is the definition of a social butterfly wrapped in fluffy packaging. People? Fantastic. Dogs? Love them. New places? Let's go! Adventures? She'll grab her imaginary suitcase. She approaches the world with the kind of confidence and enthusiasm most of us wish we had before our morning coffee. Need a copilot? She's already buckled in. Crickette is a phenomenal passenger who treats every car ride like the beginning of the world's greatest road trip—even if you're just running to grab milk. Take her out in public and she'll happily show off her impeccable manners while charming everyone she meets without even trying. It's honestly a little unfair how effortlessly likable she is. When it's time to burn off some energy, she'll gladly play a game of fetch, chase after toys, or join in whatever fun you've got planned. But don't mistake her playful side for being over-the-top. Crickette has that wonderfully balanced temperament where she's happy to play when it's playtime, then equally happy to settle down and simply be with her people afterward. She's the kind of dog who fits into your life instead of expecting your life to revolve around her. At the heart of it all, Crickette is simply an incredibly smart, affectionate, people-loving dog who genuinely enjoys being part of whatever her family is doing. Whether it's an afternoon adventure, a trip across town, or a lazy evening on the couch, she just wants to be included. And if you happen to have a tennis ball nearby? Well... now you're really speaking her language. Crickette is a 2-year-old, 53-pound Husky/German Shepherd mix. We know. We watched some of you start scrolling the second you read those words when we first posted her. "Husky? Nope. I enjoy having walls." "German Shepherd? Sounds like I need a PhD in dog psychology." We get it. Both breeds have earned quite the reputation. Huskies are famous for learning how to open the refrigerator, escaping through a second-story window, singing the song of its people at 3:17 a.m., digging a tunnel to another zip code, and somehow managing to lock its owners out of their own house." German Shepherds, meanwhile, often arrive with an owner's manual longer than a college textbook while they carefully evaluate every new person, squirrel, leaf, and Amazon delivery before deciding whether they have officially been approved. But Crickette is not any of that. Somehow, she skipped the chaos, ignored the stereotypes, and decided she'd rather major in being an absolutely delightful dog. In fact, she's been proving that from day one. Back when she was a stray and preparing to have her puppies, she somehow found an old outdoor couch and decided it would make an excellent maternity ward. Honestly...we're impressed. Real estate is tough these days, and she still managed to find waterfront property. From there, she kept her babies safe until they made it to the shelter, where she continued being the incredible mama they needed. When she arrived in foster care, she settled in beautifully and raised her puppies with patience, love, and enough grace to make the rest of us question how we're handling adulthood. One by one, every puppy found a family of their own. Now it's finally Crickette's turn. The best way to describe her is that she's the sweet spot between both breeds. She has the intelligence that makes training enjoyable, the confidence to take life's adventures in stride, the playful spirit that keeps life fun, and the easygoing temperament that makes her fit into just about any outing. She doesn't come with a five-page disclaimer, a list of potential demolition projects, or a 47-step onboarding process before she'll acknowledge your existence. She simply comes ready to be your best friend. Turns out, the best handbook for living a great life isn't about your breed at all. It's about your attitude. And Crickette has absolutely nailed that chapter. One of the first rules in The Crickette Guide to Living Your Best Life is very simple: Collect friends. Skip enemies. If your household already includes another dog, congratulations—you've just added another member to Crickette's fan club. She gets along wonderfully with other dogs and genuinely enjoys having canine companions around. Whether they're wrestling in the yard, going for walks together, or simply existing in the same room pretending not to look at each other while secretly judging everyone's snack choices, she's happy to share her space. Humans? Oh, those are her favorite. Meeting new people isn't something Crickette tolerates—it's one of her hobbies. She approaches strangers with the confidence of someone who assumes you've been waiting all day to meet her, and honestly...she's usually right. She's social, affectionate, and always ready to add another person to her growing list of admirers. Now, every great handbook has at least one page labeled "Exceptions Apply," and this is Crickette's. Cats. Crickette has reviewed the Cat Department's application for friendship and has respectfully—but very enthusiastically—declined it. She sees cats less as roommates and more as fast-moving objects that absolutely must be investigated immediately. For everyone's sanity (especially the cats'), she'll need a feline-free home. As for kids, she's only had the opportunity to spend time with teenagers, where she's been nothing but sweet, loving, and incredibly nurturing. We truly think she'd do wonderfully with children. That said, Crickette occasionally gets so excited about life that her enthusiasm outruns her coordination.So, unless your little ones are currently training for varsity football and don't mind an occasional friendly body check from an overenthusiastic 53-pound cheerleader, we'd recommend a home with kids around 8 years and older. She's all heart...she just occasionally forgets that she isn't a 5lb Chihuahua. Some dogs believe life is all about sleeping on the couch. Some believe every waking moment should be spent climbing mountains, running marathons, or inventing entirely new ways to make their owners question their sanity. Crickette has read both chapters and decided they're a little extreme. She'd much rather live somewhere comfortably in the middle. If we had to rate her energy, she'd land around a 7 out of 10, but don't let that scare you. She's not bouncing off the walls wondering if today is the day she'll finally tunnel to Australia. She simply enjoys participating in life. If you're going somewhere, she'd like to submit her application to come along. If you're outside doing yard work, she'll gladly supervise. If you're taking a walk, she'll happily clock in for her shift. If you're relaxing at home? Great. She can do that too. Basically, Crickette's philosophy is, "Whatever we're doing...we're doing it together." Which brings us to one of the most important chapters in this handbook: Always Say Yes to the Car Ride. Need to run errands? She's in. Road trip? Already waiting by the door. Going to the drive-thru? She'd like to inspect the menu, please. She hops in the car like she's been invited to the Met Gala and spends the ride happily taking in every new sight and smell along the way. New places are exciting. New adventures are exciting. Honestly, leaving the driveway is exciting. Her leash manners follow a very similar philosophy. She walks nicely and enjoys getting out to explore the world. Fortunately, she's also missing a few of the more dramatic chapters that some dogs insist on including in their handbook. Thunderstorms? Fine. Vacuums? Whatever. Strange noises? Hardly worth a second glance. She doesn't guard her food or toys, isn't looking for reasons to create unnecessary drama, and generally approaches life with a refreshingly level head. Well...until someone throws a tennis ball. Then all bets are off. If there were an Olympic event for fetch, Crickette would already have sponsorship deals. She doesn't just like fetch—she is passionately, unapologetically, wholeheartedly committed to the sport. Tennis balls are serious business, and she will happily remind you that your throwing arm has far more endurance than you think it does. What makes Crickette so special, though, isn't any one personality trait. It's how beautifully they all come together. She's smart without being overwhelming, playful without being exhausting, affectionate without being clingy, curious without constantly getting herself into trouble, and social without demanding to be the center of attention every second of the day. She's simply one of those wonderfully balanced dogs who makes everyday life a little more entertaining, a little more active, and a whole lot happier...which, if you've been paying attention to this handbook, is really the entire point. As we near the end of The Crickette Guide to Living Your Best Life, we arrive at the tiny little asterisk at the bottom of the page. *Curiosity may be stronger than common sense. Crickette would do best with a securely fenced yard because she has an incredibly curious mind. If something looks interesting, smells interesting, or simply exists within eyesight, she'd like to investigate it. So, to avoid turning every backyard sniff into an episode of National Geographic: Crickette Edition, a secure privacy fence would be the perfect setup for this wonderfully inquisitive girl. Speaking of brains...this girl has them. She's already learned commands like sit, up, and down, and every now and then she'll randomly offer you a paw as if she's trying to negotiate some sort of business deal. Nobody is entirely sure what prompts this generous gesture, but honestly, we're here for it. More importantly, Crickette learns incredibly quickly. She's the kind of dog that actually enjoys using her brain, and we have a feeling she's only scratched the surface of what she's capable of learning. Whoever adopts her is going to have an absolute blast discovering just how much this girl can do. Now for everyone's favorite question...Is she potty trained? She sure is. As for household manners, Crickette earns some pretty impressive scores. She is kennel trained, but can also be trusted to free roam. She isn't interested in chewing your shoes, furniture, remote controls, drywall, or other expensive hobbies that some dogs mysteriously develop. Her version of mischief is...well...being nosy and wanting to check out everything and anything that catches her attention in the slightest. Have you ever seen up? Well, we all adore Doug, and that is pretty much Crickette. She will totally be focused on one thing, then suddenly SQUIRREL, and she is off to investigate something else. Crickette is truly one of those rare dogs who has all the ingredients to become an absolutely phenomenal lifelong companion. Give her a little guidance, keep teaching that wonderfully busy brain of hers, include her in your everyday adventures, and she'll spend every single day proving that sometimes the very best dogs are the ones people almost scrolled past. If you've read this far, there's a very good chance you've accidentally fallen in love with Crickette. Honestly...we can't blame you. So...what happens now? Well, despite what Crickette believes, she cannot simply pack herself into your car and declare herself adopted. (She asked. We checked.) Instead, you'll need to fill out an adoption application. Yes, we know. Paperwork. How terribly inconvenient. We promise it's significantly less painful than listening to your coworker explain cryptocurrency or sitting through your seventh Zoom meeting that could've been an email. Once you submit your application, we'll send it over to Crickette's foster family, who knows her better than anyone and wants to make sure this amazing girl lands exactly where she's meant to be. If you're chosen, you'll get the incredible privilege of making this handbook your everyday reality. The only catch? You'll need to come pick up Miss Passenger Princess herself in Skiatook, Oklahoma. We know...gas prices exist. But trust us—she's absolutely worth every mile.

Meet Maya – a beautiful 6 to 8-year-old spayed female Husky with a calm and gentle spirit looking for a patient and understanding forever home. Maya is a lovely, independent dog who enjoys a relaxed lifestyle filled with plenty of naps and quiet moments. She loves carrying her toys around, not for playing fetch or tug, but simply as a comforting companion. Maya thrives on affection and will seek out head scratches once she feels comfortable, though she prefers to approach on her own terms. She is shy and a bit skittish at first, so she needs a calm environment where she can take her time to warm up and build trust. While Maya is not dog-friendly and has a high prey drive, making her unlikely to do well with cats or other dogs, she is very good with people—both men and women—and enjoys car rides. She is food and treat motivated but prefers treats placed on the ground rather than taken from hands. Maya is smart and can be guided with gentle pointing, though she does not yet know basic commands and is still learning leash walking, potty training, and kennel training. Maya has a fear of confinement but feels secure when she can see through a gate, so a home that respects her need for space and gradual socialization will be ideal. She is not protective over her food but appreciates being left alone while eating. This sweet couch potato is looking for a patient adopter who can provide a quiet, stable home where she can continue to build confidence and enjoy gentle affection at her own pace. If you’re ready to offer Maya the love and understanding she deserves, she will reward you with loyal companionship and quiet devotion. Could Maya be the perfect calm and loving companion for you? Come meet her and see if your home is the right fit for this special girl!

Sonny and Cher are an amazing duo. These two are litter mates and survived being abandoned and near death with parvo. They were adopted back in 2017. We were so excited that they got to stay together well then seven years later they came back at no fault of their own. They are sweet, fun, playful.

Phantom is basically the compact edition of a bear. All the luxurious fluff. All the snuggles. All the charm. Half the size. It's really a remarkably efficient design. Honestly, do we even need to keep talking about him? He's a living stuffed animal with legs. The sales pitch is practically writing itself. Now, before you start picturing Phantom spending his weekends hosting puppy playdates and joining a neighborhood dog kickball league, let's discuss his social calendar. Phantom is what we like to call "selectively social." He generally ignores other dogs and has absolutely no interest in discussing their feelings, exchanging friendship bracelets, or participating in group activities. If another dog gets a little too invested in becoming his best friend, Phantom may politely inform them that their application has been denied. His personal bubble is important to him, and he expects others to respect it. As for cats? We haven't tested that theory, but given Phantom's breed and personality, we'd prefer not to conduct the experiment. He would likely be happiest in a cat-free kingdom where he can focus on the things that matter most: being admired and collecting stuffed animals. He would likely be happiest in a cat-free kingdom where he can focus on the things that matter most: being admired and collecting stuffed animals, instead of being stared down by the only creature on earth that might be more judgmental than he is. We have no idea who would win that battle, but we're fairly certain the rest of the household would lose. Children are also somewhat of a mystery since he hasn't spent time around them in foster care. We think he would do best with older, dog-savvy kids who understand that fluffy does not automatically mean "living stuffed animal available for unlimited handling." Now, when it comes to meeting new people? Phantom missed the memo that he was supposed to be reserved and antisocial. In fact, apparently he shredded that memo. New people are simply future friends who haven't started petting him yet. He happily greets visitors, occasionally forgets his manners when excitement takes over, and would very much like everyone to admire his extensive collection of plush squeaky toys. In Phantom's mind, every guest should immediately stop what they're doing, admire his toys, tell him he's handsome, and provide a reasonable amount of belly rubs. As for energy level, Phantom sits comfortably in the middle. He's not training for a marathon, but he's also not planning to spend 23 hours a day impersonating a decorative throw pillow. We'd call him a solid 5 out of 10. He's perfectly happy joining you for activities, but he also appreciates the fine art of relaxing. One activity he takes very seriously? Car rides. Phantom is absolutely convinced that every vehicle exists for his personal enjoyment. Need to run errands? Fantastic. Going to the bank? Even better. The bank tellers already know him and regularly provide Milk-Bones, which has only reinforced his belief that he is a local celebrity. He loves looking out the windows, soaking up the sights, and occasionally forgetting that the driver's lap is not technically an approved seating location. His future family will definitely want a doggy seatbelt, because Phantom's preferred method of road-tripping is "as close to my human as physically possible." When it comes to walks, Phantom is surprisingly polite. He doesn't spend his time dragging you down the sidewalk like a sled dog. He strolls along nicely and generally has excellent leash manners. Adventure-wise, Phantom's ideal day looks less like scaling mountains and more like collecting admirers. He'd happily accompany you on walks, outings, road trips, and pet-friendly adventures. His only request is that strange dogs respect his personal bubble. Strange humans? Those are just future friends who haven't started petting him yet. One thing Phantom does not have time for is unnecessary drama. Vacuums? Fine. Thunderstorms? Fine. Strange noises? Fine. His own farts? Presumably also fine. Unlike some dogs who react to every inconvenience as if the world is ending, Phantom is refreshingly stable and sensible. Well... except when water is involved. Phantom LOVES water. Need a dog who enjoys splashing in kiddie pools? Phantom. A dog who happily gets groomed? Phantom. A dog who treats every water bowl like a miniature water park attraction? Also Phantom. If it involves water, there's a very good chance Phantom has already stuck at least one paw in it. And then we need to discuss his true passion in life. Toys. Phantom is a full-fledged toy enthusiast. Collector. Connoisseur. Hobbyist. If there were a Homeowners Association for stuffed animals, Phantom would probably be president. He loves carrying them around, showing them off, and generally making sure everyone knows exactly which toy is his favorite that day. As for fetch? Well... Phantom has made some modifications to the traditional rules. He'll chase the ball. He'll pounce on the ball. He'll toss the ball into the air. He'll bounce around the yard entertaining himself with the ball. What he will not do is bring it back to you. Frankly, Phantom sees no reason to involve you in a perfectly functional one-dog game. He's an independent thinker like that. Now, while Phantom may look like a giant stuffed animal that would be perfectly content decorating your living room, he does come with a few operating instructions. First, let's discuss housing requirements. Phantom would do best with a securely fenced yard. As for training, Phantom has clearly paid attention during his educational career. He knows Sit, Shake, Lay Down, No, Off, Walk, and perhaps most importantly, Car Ride. He's also fully potty trained and has maintained an excellent record in his foster home. No accidents. No nonsense. Just a gentleman conducting his bathroom business appropriately. Now let's discuss crates. Phantom views crates the same way most people view mandatory Monday morning meetings. Will he do it? Sure. Is it his preference? Absolutely not. If you toss a high-value treat inside, he'll reluctantly accept the arrangement. Once inside, he settles just fine. But given the choice, Phantom would strongly prefer free roam privileges where he can monitor neighborhood activities from a window and strategically position himself near the nearest air conditioning vent. At night he may start out in your bedroom, but eventually you'll find him stretched across cool bathroom tile or directly beneath a vent enjoying what can only be described as luxury spa-level airflow. His fluffy coat is magnificent, but even Phantom acknowledges that carrying around an entire polar bear's worth of fur gets warm sometimes. As for barking, he's actually fairly quiet. He isn't interested in providing a running commentary on every leaf that blows past the window. He reserves his voice for situations that he personally finds suspicious. Interestingly, his bark is a bit higher pitched than you'd expect from a dog that resembles a small bear. When his foster family leaves, Phantom enjoys free-roaming part of the house. So here's the deal. If you've made it this far and somehow haven't fallen completely in love with Phantom, we honestly don't know what else to tell you. Think you might be his people? Then stop aggressively staring at his photos and fill out an adoption application already: https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app Once your application is submitted, we'll send it to Phantom's foster family for review. As with all of our dogs, multiple applications may be received, and his foster family will choose the home they feel is the best match for him. And yes, you'll need to pick him up in Tulsa, Oklahoma. We know. It's a road trip. But Phantom would like to remind you that he is, in fact, a Chow Chow teddy bear who rides politely in the car and accepts admiration from strangers. Some opportunities are worth a few hours behind the wheel.
