Komondor puppies and dogs in Tulsa, Oklahoma

Hello, I'm Pepa, a 2-year-old, 77lb female Great Pyrenees/Golden Retriever mix. I am from the 2022 Encanto Litter, and my journey since being adopted nearly two years ago has been quite eventful, though not all of it has been positive. I wanted to give you a heads up that there are some photos at the end of my photoshoot that might be difficult to look at, so please be mindful when viewing them. My journey has been a blur of pain and confusion. Until December of last year, everything seemed relatively normal to PPFT in regard to my adoption. Then, out of the blue, my owner reached out about surrendering me due to weak spots in the yard that let me escape and she was concerned I would get hurt. Despite asking for a surrender form, PPFT heard nothing back. It wasn't until weeks later that my owner finally submitted the form, prompting PPFT to find me a foster and plan my return to rescue. However, my owner was unresponsive and often canceled plans. Eventually, she vanished, ignoring all attempts to contact her. Months later, I resurfaced in a distant city up for rehoming by a different family, but it was no coincidence. It turned out that my owner had intentionally bypassed the rescue's policies and rehomed me through a pet site, fully aware that PPFT was diligently working to welcome me back into their program. This new family couldn't keep me, leading PPFT to find me again and I cannot even start to thank them for their kindness in helping me get back to rescue after they found out I was one of their alumni. My coat was a mess and I had what looked like several hotspots on my body when I entered my foster home. I underwent treatment at the vet and they shaved off my matted fur, revealing the extent of my suffering (see attached photos). My body was a landscape of painful sores, The vet discovered that I had Pyoderma, a condition where pus accumulates in the skin due to a severe bacterial infection, had ravaged me. This infection had been left untreated for who knows how long, allowing it to spread and cause untold suffering. It wasn't just external; the vet suspected that internal organs were at risk due to the infection's severity so we definitely caught it just in time. It was so bad that the lightest touch would make me jump and run off, a sign of the intense pain I endured. Along with that, I was infested with fleas and ticks that were living in the mess that was my body, had hookworms&whipworms, and was underweight. The pain was constant, making me forget how to even be a dog. But now, with care and love, I'm healing. The photos show my journey from agony to recovery, and I'm eager for a fresh start, leaving this nightmare far behind. Now, let's talk lifestyle preferences. I'm a balanced girl, like a well-mixed smoothie. I'm all for outings with my new family, especially strutting my stuff in public places. However, don't expect me to be the Energizer Bunny; I'm more of a laid-back diva who enjoys the spotlight in moderation. Getting into the car is a bit of a production for me; I'll give it my best shot, but sometimes I need a little boost, like a canine version of a red carpet entrance. Once I'm in, though, I'm like a seasoned Hollywood star, a bit unsure but ready for the ride! On the leash, I'm cooperative but still refining my sidewalk etiquette – I might zigzag a bit to check out the neighborhood smells! Hiking? Count me in! I'm ready to explore the great outdoors like a furry trailblazer. My energy level is like a well-mixed cocktail – a splash of excitement, a dash of chill vibes, and a twist of goofiness. And toys? Oh, I'll play with them, but don't be surprised if I decide they're old news after a while. As for water, it's still a mystery to me—I haven't decided if I'm a doggy-paddle pro or a landlubber at heart! Meeting new people? Piece of cake! I might have a moment of "new person jitters," but if the other dogs are making friends, you bet I'll join the welcoming committee! And about jumping on people? Well, I try to keep my paws on the ground, but sometimes my enthusiasm just can't be contained! It's all part of my charm, right? When it comes to other dogs, I do great! They've been my furry therapists, helping me shed my past woes and embrace the carefree pup within. Playing chase, sharing toys, and swapping doggy tales—count me in! Cats? Oh, they're like the mysterious neighbors I see but never bother. We coexist peacefully, with me giving them the occasional curious sniff. Kids? Well, the tiny humans can be a bit overwhelming, especially if they're all zooming around like little rockets. But give me some older kids who get that I've had a ruff time, and we'll be trading secrets and sharing snacks in no time. When it comes to house manners, I'm like the canine version of Martha Stewart—polished, well-behaved, and ready to impress! Apartments? Sure, why not? As long as my family's home enough to keep up with my energy, I'll make any space feel like a doggy paradise. Potty training? Check! I've got my bathroom routine down pat. Kennel trained? Nah, I'm more of a free spirit who prefers the luxury of roaming the house. Plus, who needs a kennel when you've got comfy couches and cozy beds? Chewing on things? Not my style, but my foster home is like a doggy-proof fortress just in case I get curious. Barking? I'm more of a supportive barker—if my furry pals start the chorus, I'll chime in for moral support. But mostly, I'm a chill pup who saves her woofs for special occasions. Free roam of the house? Absolutely! I'm like the house-sitter of your dreams, keeping things tidy and entertained, especially with my furry squad for company when the humans are away. So, who's ready to embark on this pawsome journey with me? Whether it's exploring new places, cuddling up for movie nights, or just enjoying the simple pleasures of life, I'm eager to share it all with my forever family. Let's wag our way into happiness together! 📍 Pickup Location: Kiowa, OK 📝 Adoption App: https://www.emailmeform.com/builder/form/hx000BP7nbQvjHX49Uur80FV3

Saddle up and meet Cowboy Hank, the most adorable pup on this side of the Mississippi. At just 12 weeks old and weighing in at a whopping 12 pounds, this little buckaroo is ready to rustle up some love and laughter in his forever home. Every pup has an origin story, and this is his. Cowboy Hank, along with his sister Mollie Mae, were found abandoned on the streets. These two little bandits were in pretty rough shape, suffering from two different types of mange, full of worms, and skinnier than a tumbleweed. Thankfully, a kind soul discovered them and reached out to us for help. Now, after some much-needed TLC, Cowboy Hank is back on his paws and ready to find his 'pyrfect' family. While Hank’s ancestors were busy protecting sheep from wolves, Hank is more likely to protect your heart from loneliness. He's got the bravery of a seasoned sheriff and the fluffiness of a cotton candy cloud—quite the combination! With medium puppy energy, Cowboy Hank strikes the perfect balance between playful and cuddly. He’s up for a game of fetch or a lazy afternoon nap. And don't let his size fool you; he’s destined to grow into a majestic, gentle giant with paws the size of Texas! With medium puppy energy, Cowboy Hank strikes the perfect balance between playful and cuddly. He’s up for a romp with his favorite toys or a lazy afternoon nap that will make you jealous of his napping skills. Fetch might not be his game—he's more of a "you threw it, you fetch it" kind of guy—but he’ll happily entertain himself (and you) with his toys, putting on a one-pup show that could rival any comedy act. And when it comes to water, he’s more of a land lover—no swimmin’ for this cowboy! If you ever see him near water, you might catch him giving it the stink eye and slowly backing away. This little cowboy needs a hand getting into the car because he’s just a pup and too small to make the leap on his own. However, once he's in, he’ll play for a bit before settling down for a relaxing ride, often looking out the window with an expression that says he's contemplating the meaning of life (or maybe just wondering if there are snacks involved). He’s a budding adventurer who’d thrive with an active family ready to take him on hikes and new explorations, though he might need a boost over any logs or big rocks—his short legs aren't made for mountaineering! Hank’s still working on his leash skills, so he hasn’t been on many walks yet, but he’s eager to learn and loves the idea of exploring the great outdoors. Just be prepared for some zig-zagging and sudden stops as he figures out that the leash isn’t a chew toy or a snake out to get him. Cowboy Hank's social skills rival those of a seasoned politician shaking hands at a county fair. His friendly demeanor is so infectious that even the grumpiest old timer at the saloon can't resist cracking a smile when Hank waltzes in. When it comes to meeting other dogs, Hank starts off a bit like a tumbleweed in a high wind—hesitant and cautious. But give him a minute, and he's chasing his tail with the best of them, forming impromptu doggy posses faster than you can say "yeehaw!" Now, Hank hasn't exactly had a run-in with a feline critter yet, but judging by his laid-back attitude, we reckon he'd greet a cat with a tip of his cowboy hat and a polite "howdy." Who knows, maybe they'd end up sharing a sunbeam for an afternoon siesta. And when it comes to kids, well, let's just say Hank's got more patience than a cowboy at a slow cattle drive. He'll happily trot alongside them, playing cowboy and outlaw or rounding up imaginary cattle with the enthusiasm of a rookie ranch hand. When it comes to potty training, Cowboy Hank is a bit like a tumbleweed in the wind—sometimes he hits the mark, other times he's just wandering. But fear not, with a little patience and a whole lot of treats, he'll be wrangling bathroom breaks like a seasoned ranch hand in no time. As for kennel training, well, let's just say Cowboy Hank is still figuring out that a crate isn't the same as a bunkhouse. And when it comes to chew toys, Cowboy Hank knows the difference between his rope and your favorite boots—though he might sneak a nibble if he's feeling particularly rebellious. Just keep those squeaky toys handy, and he'll be too busy playing the day away to cause any trouble. But beware, this pup's got a voice that could startle a coyote at midnight, and he's not afraid to use it. Whether it's barking at the mailman or singing along to his favorite country tunes, Cowboy Hank believes every woof is justified—even if you might disagree. So, if you're ready to add a touch of frontier flair to your life, consider adopting Cowboy Hank. With his love for life, unwavering loyalty, and knack for entertaining, he'll turn your living space into the best little hoedown this side of the Mississippi. Just remember, adopting Cowboy Hank means signing up for a lifetime of adventures, laughs, and maybe even a few tall tales. So saddle up and mosey on down to the shelter today—Cowboy Hank is waiting to lasso your heart! 🤠 📍 Pickup Location: Hutchinson, KS 📝 Adoption App: https://www.emailmeform.com/builder/form/hx000BP7nbQvjHX49Uur80FV3
