Story
Belikin was found wandering by himself on a beach in Belize...just a tiny little puppy skin and bones..pitiful. The American couple who found him couldn't leave him behind so they found a way to bring him home to Tennessee with them. He has grown into a beautiful dog who is very affectionate and loves being with people. He is house-trained, e-collar trained and leash trained. He travels well in a car. Due to Belikin's rough start where he was basically nearly starved to death, he has always been very possessive of his food and understandedly so. He has been hand fed and will allow the nice gentleman who found him to take his food way with no issues. However, he does not like other animals around when he is eating. The family who saved him has 3 other older dogs, 3 cats and 2 small children living with him so unfortunately the current living situation isn't ideal for Belikin. Belikin is such a loving pet but would be best as the only dog in his home due to his possessiveness. The first step to meet and possibly foster or adopt Belikin is to fill out this application....link is below.... copy and paste into your browser: https://tinyurl.com/keelysadoptionday

Story
Hi, everypawdy! My name is Grace. I'm a beautiful, loving soul who is looking for a family to call my own. Walks, runs, and hikes are a few of my favorite hobbies. Attention and being pet are necessities as well, of course! A good cuddle at the end of a long day will fill me with joy. My foster family says I'm smart as a whip...I already know how to sit, heel, halt, and more! A good treat and some cuddles are enough to motivate to learn like a pro. I love being near my favorite humans, and playing with my favorite toys. If you want a reason to smile every single day, then I am the pup for your family. If you are interested in adopting Grace, please fill out an adoption application at https://bfp.org/rescue/ and email us with questions: adopt@bfp.org. Location: TULSA, OK

Story
Hi, my name is Ruger. I am 4yrs old. I am a Pitbull mix. I was adopted from Animal Allies Rescue Foundation (AARF) when I was 14wks old. I am house broken and spend most my days inside laying around sleeping. I do enjoy the outside but you have to limit me in hot weather because of my white coat, I can get sunburnt and allergies. I love to cuddle and give kisses. I love to play but am overall very chill and lazy. I have two other dogs I live with, which I enjoy playing and cuddling with. Looking for a home with someone who has no young children under 3yrs old because I am timid of little kids and can make me very anxious. Wanting a home that I can stay inside and cuddle with my owner or lounge around when they are gone.

Story
Hi there, this is Diesel. He was born on November 17th, 2020. He has been with me since he was a baby puppy. He lose to swim, play fetch, get cuddles, belly rubs. He also loves his little brother Mochi, which is a small Japanese spitz, however my roommate has a big pitbull and it attacked him, so I just don’t want him hurt. He has been my best friend for almost 4 years so it breaks my heart to have to rehome him. But I want what’s best and safe for him.

Story
Tulip is sweet and super smart, weighs 55lbs and is around 4 years old, she and her 5 puppies were dumped outside a shelter in KY. She knows basic commands sit, wait, leave it, come, etc and lots of words, treat, Tulip bed, outside, etc. She is extremely food motivated, so her learning is limitless! Belly rubs and being with you are her absolute favorite. She sleeps on her bed but would rather sleep on the couch or the bed with you. She is crate trained but is not happy alone. She is completely house broken and has never had an accident and lets you know if she needs to go out. She walks wonderfully on a leash and stays close by if she is unleashed. She enjoys to go on car rides, we've even taken her road trips. She needs to be in a home with another dog, she loves companionship and play time! She is good with my kids, ages 10+. She has been a great family dog but due to circumstances within our home we are no longer able to give her the care she deserves.

Story
I’m pretty sure I’m called Honey because I’m soooo sweet. And, I’m especially sweet and gentle with children. My favorite place to be is at the center of family "cuddle puddles", but I’m always happy to give new people a chance to pet me. My favorite things to do are playing with stuffed toys, hiding my bones, and I just love to show off for treats. I’m leash and crate-trained, know how to SIT on request, and I’m ready to learn some new tricks. I do like to be the queen of my own castle so no other dogs or cats please. If you’d like to get together for our very own “cuddle puddles”, send in an adoption application with my sweet name on it.

Story
Captain here, looking for a dog to lead the way? Consider me! I am loyal, goofy, and lots of fun! I can be nervous until we know each other better, but if you lived on the cold/hot hard streets you may be a little wary with new people too. Now, my time at the rescue has really really improved my life and I am SO MUCH more social and outgoing! I am a big, beautiful reddish-tan Pittie/Labrador mix with a white racing stripe down the middle of my chest! Our small canine family came to God's Dogs Rescue in a pickle, a rag tag group of Labradors and one pregnant female! We came to this safe haven with just 3 dogs and now we're a whole lot more! But all of us are now spayed and neutered and READY for furever families who won't leave us to run the streets and starve, we actually have gotten a little chunky, lol and REALLY HAPPY!! As Captain, I'll ensure that you are properly lead and motivated to get your day to day life moving! Well, that's because I need daily walks but besides the point! Some basic information about Captain; he is male, Pitbull/Labrador Retriever mix, and is medium/large-sized boy, at about 60#. Local adoption fee is $200 (in TX) Out of state adoption fee is $400 (includes transport to your area - $50 Temporary Fuel Charge will be added)
