Labrador Retriever puppies and dogs in Jenks, Oklahoma

-Written by Noir, a 46lb female Labrador Retriever mix, possibly mixed with Border Collie. --------------------------------------------- Sometimes hope is all that one has. It doesn't matter how amazing they are. It doesn't matter how sweet they are. It doesn't matter how much they want something. Sometimes, people just overlook you and what you can offer. I am one of the sweetest girls around, yet I have spent most of my life homeless. Sure, I had a family or two at some point but they didn't care enough to keep me with them. I ended up on my own, which sucked. I wanted a family so bad. I wanted a warm dog bed. I wanted someone to love. I wanted someone to play with me. I wanted someone to go on adventures with. I wanted someone to cuddle with. Yet, my life has been outdoors only with little human interaction. Definitely not what I had imagined my life would be like when I was just a pup. The worst part is I would have taken anything. I wanted a family so bad, I would have been willing to do just about anything for love. Instead, I was now trying to survive on the streets. I wasn't very good at it though. I ended up getting picked up and brought to a vet clinic. When no one came for me, I ended up being at risk for euthanasia. The shelter was full and the vet couldn't keep me long-term. Just like that, my life was to be over. Me. The girl who is so full of love and kindness. The girl who just wanted a family, and instead was going to die because no one loved or wanted her. How crappy is that? Talk about a hit to your self-esteem. Through all of this, I still had hope though. Hope that a miracle would happen. Hope that this wasn't the end for me...I had only been alive for about a year...how could it already be over? In the end, my hope paid off. This rescue caught wind of my situation and by some crazy chance, a foster stepped up for me! I came to PPFT shortly after and started a new chapter of my life. There have been a lot of changes in my life, but there is one thing that I love about all else right now. Can you guess what it is? Yes, I love attention. Yes, I love treats. Yes, I love being indoors. But my most favorite thing is going for walks!! My foster mom says that I am one of the best leash walkers ever! I will keep my nose right in line with my foster's left knee. I don't pull and do so amazing on walks. I have not been hiking yet, but given how much I love walks and how well I do...I think its safe to say that I would enjoy hiking. The fun doesn't stop at walks though. I do excellent on car rides and will sit down and stare out the window. I have come across a few new people on my walks and did wonderfully. I was very excited to make friends and get lots of pets and attention. Now, I know you would get suspicious if I was too perfect so I must admit that I do jump. Usually, only when I am really excited to meet someone new or to see you. My foster family is working on this with me though. What can I say, you will always have one happy dog every time I see you. Whether you were gone for 5 hours or 5 minutes. I don't mean to brag or anything, but I think I have a pretty awesome personality. I love playing outside with the other dogs, playing with my toys, going for walks, and then coming inside and taking a nice long nap. I would love if my new family took me on adventures with them, and then after we just chilled the rest of the day. I will also play fetch with you so I know that has to be a bonus to someone out there. Along with that I love all kinds of toys and am not picky. I may de-stuff plush toys sometimes, but I usually prefer to prance around the yard carrying my toys, trying to entice the other dogs to play chase or wrestle with me. I am a water dog. I would enjoy splashing in a kiddie pool. I will splash around in the water dish occasionally when I feel especially playful. Getting to be inside may be new to me, but I am such a smart girl and it took me no time at all to learn the ins and outs of everything. I am potty as well as kennel trained. I have not been a big chewer in my foster home, and tend to stick to chewing on toys, nylabones, and peanut butter-filled kongs. I am still young though, so hopefully my new family will keep things put up at first. I would hate to have a lapse in willpower and grab something I shouldn't and you get upset with me. I want to be a good girl. I want to make you happy! I have not been very vocal in my foster home, but will join in if I hear the other dogs are doing it. I have been through a lot lately, but I am excited at the prospect of finding my forever family. Please I am begging you though, only apply to adopt me if you can keep me forever. If you can't keep me through ALL of my life's changes, don't be the one that makes me have to be passed around a few months/years down the line again. That just isn't fair to me. I would NEVER give up on you, so please don't give up on me. I want to be your forever...not your until dog. --------------------------------------------- Application to adopt Noir https://www.emailmeform.com/builder/form/hx000BP7nbQvjHX49Uur80FV3 Location: Tulsa, OK -Adopters must be able to pick up their new dog, with no exceptions. Adoption Fee: $250 Includes: Two rounds of the DHLPP, Rabies, Bordetella, Fecal, Deworming, Heartworm Test, Micro-Chip, Spay, and she will be current heartworm and flea/tick prevention. FROM HER FOSTER MOM 🐾 ↓ ~Noir is a lovely 12 month old 46 pound mix. We don't think she'll get much bigger than her current size. She has a beautiful black medium length coat and a few adorable white toes! She is named after the Film Noir movie genre - she is a dog of many talents. In dog rescue, you typically don't get much history on the dog before it came into rescue. Noir is no exception. I do believe someone really worked with her on the correct way to walk on a leash. I've never had a dog who could walk on a loose leash as easily as Noir. A possible border collie mix, Noir is a bright young dog who will do SO well with agility or obedience classes. She is eager to please and food/treat/ praise motivated. She loves to be petted and will snuggle on the couch with you to watch Film Noirs. She is always ready to run to Starbucks for a pup cup. If we had to describe Noir in one word, we'd say she's a Lovebug! She is a dynamo of a dog and will be adored by the lucky family who adopts her. We love you, Noir!! Noir's ideal home would have another dog for her to play with, or a family who is home most of the day. She is very smart and would get lonely if she was left alone most of the day.~

-Written by Blondie, a 62lb female Labrador Retriever/Great Pyrenees mix. ------------------------------------------- Hi there. My name is Blondie and I am excited to share my story with you today. The thought that I may soon be in my forever home, seems almost unreal. Especially after all I have gone through. I promise though that I will try to be the best girl I can be every day with my new family. I will try to make some smile every day, and make sure that they always know they are loved. There was once a time in my life when I had no love and I never want anyone to feel that way. My story starts as a lonely stray. I am sure you have heard this story before. I was abandoned by those I loved the most and ended up on the streets. Trying to survive on your own is one thing, but trying to stay alive AND protect your family....well that is something else. There were days when we went hungry and I felt so bad. This was not the life that I had imagined for my baby. I wanted him to have so much more, and instead, we spent our days roaming just trying to find a place to belong. It figures that when someone finally did come across us that it wasn't to welcome us home but bring us to the animal shelter. I thought being on the streets was scary, but being in a shelter that is packed full of animals begging for their second chance and knowing there is a chance they won't get it...it can keep one up. I was almost positive that I wouldn't make it out. I wasn't fooling myself. I was just some stray....one of the hundreds...and I was on the shyer side. There is no way someone would pick me out of all the other dogs. I was just hoping that my puppy would make it out. He was about as cute as they come and someone had to get him out....they had to. He had to make it out..... It wasn't long after that I got word that he had been rescued and was leaving the shelter. I was so happy. It didn't matter what happened to me now because at least he was safe. When they came to my kennel, I knew this was the end. They collected me and I knew I couldn't change my fate so went with them. You can imagine my surprise when we took a turn and I ended up at the front of the shelter instead of the back. They told me that I was getting out, that the same rescue who took my puppy was going to take me too! I was absolutely stunned! My foster family greeted me and told me I was safe, and before I knew it I was out of the shelter and on my way to a whole new life. I am no longer a dirty and unwanted stray. I was given a name...Blondie. I was cleaned up, and now I get daily meals, have a dog bed, and people that love me. Not even in my wildest dreams did I ever imagine that I would be here, but I could not be more thankful! I am the kind of girl that makes sure I express how thankful I am every day. I absolutely love cuddling with my foster family and will sometimes show it by rolling around like a clown and when I get embarrassed try to hide my face under one of my paws. Other times, I am just chilling in the same room with them enjoying the fact that I know I am safe and loved. I am a pretty laid-back and chill girl. I haven't shown much interest in playing. Part of that is probably because I never had the chance to. I was always in survival mode so didn't grow up with toys or playing fun games. Playing in water also doesn't really interest me. While playing and romping around may not be my thing, I am an excellent napper and cuddler though! ;) So, if that is more your style as well, I think we would be perfect for one another! Speaking of perfection, my ideal home would be a calmer one. Now with that said, I will hop right into the car on my own and plop down. So, once I feel more secure I do believe that I would enjoy going places with my new family from time to time. Overall, I would consider myself to be a Netflix and Chill girl. :) I have not been on any walks yet, so am unsure how I would feel about them and going hiking. I love feeling like I belong and am part of the family, so would probably enjoy both once I get more accustomed to the leash. I may not have a lot of experience doing things outside the house yet, but my manners at home are impeccable! I am potty and kennel trained. I have not been a big chewer, nor have I been a big barker in my foster home. You can also trust me to have free-roam of the house when you are away. I even believe that I would do well in an apartment setting. I know that I will come around other animals in my future home and you are probably wondering how I do. I do well with other dogs and am being fostered around them. As I mentioned above, I never really got to just have fun in my past, so don't really seem to know how to play with them. As time goes on, I may be interested in engaging in play with them, but as of right now, I am indifferent to other dogs. I have not met a cat yet as my foster family doesn't have any. Given my laid-back personality, I think I would probably do fine with them if they were chill like me. I also have not been around any kids. I am a pretty gentle and loving girl, but I do spook easily so it may be best that the kids are older if my new family has some. I believe that I have shared just about everything that I know about myself with you. I really hope that sharing my story has made you realize that I belong with you. I haven't met all that many people in my life though, so if you do adopt me please don't take it personally that I may be timid and unsure at first. I will say that you won't have to worry about me jumping on you or others though since I tend to hang back at first. I hope that you will apply to adopt me at https://www.emailmeform.com/.../hx000BP7nbQvjHX49Uur80FV3 Please I am begging you though, only apply to adopt me if you can keep me forever. If you can't keep me through ALL of life's changes, don't be the one that makes me have to be passed around a few months/years down the line. That just isn't fair to me. I would NEVER give up on you, so please don't give up on me.

FROM HER FOSTER MOM 🐾 ↓ ~Blondie is super sweet. She loves her people, pets and snuggles. I think she will get more playful with time. She loves her feeding time. Blondie will go to her crate and patiently wait for her food. She is a fast eater so she is getting her food in a slow bowl feeder. She will bring much joy to the family that adopts her! Blondie has done well in our home with other dogs. I feel she would do fine as an only dog also. Our home is pretty quiet and calm so not sure how she would do with a lot of activity~

Tuxedo was purchased from a lady who told us he was a Labradoodle. Later we found out that he is actually a lab mix. His mother is Labradoodle and his father is a Chocolate Lab. Tuxedo is 4 years old. He loves being around people and getting attention. He is fearful of storms. I am looking for someone who will love him and give him the attention he needs.

Looking for a good ole country boy that’s ready to work the farm? This precious guy is Iroh. Ok, so he may not be a hunting dog with any type of “natural instincts”, he does make up for that with being an amazing family guy. He adores kids. He’s learning to trust men, because he was abused in his former home. He’s come a long way though in his foster home, but guys will just need to remember he was wronged once and he’s going to have his walls up at first. Maybe some time riding in the truck together would help. Oh and buying his love with treats and bully sticks. That helps. Iroh is the class clown. He’s smart and trainable, but he likes to be silly while he does that. Hard to cramp his style when he’s so cute doing it. Have a pond on your property he can splash in? Even better. Iroh loves water. Iroh is a 7 month old lab mix. He is neutered, up to date on vaccines and microchipped.
