Story
Meet Bailey and Charlie! They are both Maltese/Yorkie mixes; Bailey (the lighter colored one) is a female around age 16, and Charlie (the darker colored one) is a male around age 12-13. These two senior pups came to Husky House when their elderly owner unfortunately passed away. Bailey and Charlie are sweet, affectionate dogs who love to be pet, held, and sit in your lap. They are good with people and other dogs; they have never been cat tested, but would likely also do well with cats. Please help these sweet seniors live out their golden years in a loving home! Interested in adopting? Please visit www.huskyhouse.org today to fill out an application.August 29, 2025, 11:42 pm

Story
Meet Olive! Olive is a lovely 8-pound Maltese mix, estimated to be around 5 years old, with a sweet, gentle soul and an affectionate nature. She is a true people-lover who thrives on attention and companionship, and she’s happiest when she’s close to those she loves. Olive does wonderfully with children and enjoys the company of other dogs. She is fully house trained and crate trained, and she is currently learning her leash manners. At home, Olive is the perfect lap companion. She loves to curl up in your lap, soak up affection, and give plenty of sweet kisses in return. She has a calm, loving demeanor that makes her a joy to have around. Olive came from a hoarding situation with 30 other dogs, and despite that difficult start, she has shown just how resilient and loving she can be. Now that she’s experiencing life as a cherished pet, she’s truly blossoming and ready to enjoy a bright future in a forever home. Olive would be a wonderful addition for someone looking for a small, affectionate dog who will happily return every bit of love she’s given. Interested in becoming a forever home for Olive? Fill out our online adoption application: http://www.friendswithfourpaws.org/adoption-form.html This is the first step in our process, and we don't go any further without an application. Find more adoptable pets, news and information on Instagram @friendswithfourpaws or our Facebook page Friends with Four Paws . We put a lot of time and energy into processing our adoptions to find our babies the best fit home for them and you. Please do not submit an application if you are not serious about adopting. We are so excited to work with you to find you a new forever friend, and appreciate you working with us.For immediate consideration, please attach your application to the initial inquiry to help us expedite the process. Our adoption fee is $525. This includes their spay/neuter surgery, full (age appropriate) vaccinations, microchip insertion and registration, deworming, heartworm testing and prevention, flea and tick prevention and travel expenses. All of our dogs are rescued from local shelters and the general public in Oklahoma. Each dog is then placed in a foster home where he/she is kept for quarantine, to ensure if the dog gets sick it can receive proper treatment. We have foster homes in the NJ/NY area waiting to receive their fosters. Once an animal has received an application or there's an adopter interested, we make arrangements for transport. If a dog is already in foster care in NYC/NJ, an adopter will be put in touch with the foster home AFTER an application is being processed. Thank you in advance for your patience with our process and for making adoption YOUR option!
