OK Save A Dog

Adoption If you are interested in adopting one of our wonderful dogs, the first step in the process is filling out an adoption application. http://www.oksaveadog.org/adoption/online-application-form/ You can be assured that all the information will be used for the sole purpose of finding a companion that fits your lifestyle, and will never be sold or distributed in any manner. I need this information to see if a dog will work in your home, I will be the first one to tell you if a certain dog will not work in your home. My goal is to place dogs in their LAST home, so much thought is given to this process. A minimal adoption fee will be charged. This is only to recoup some of the costs involved in caring for each dog. When I take in a dog they go straight to the vet as soon as she can take them. They are given shots, de-wormed, given Front line for flea/tick control, and spayed or neutered. Please Note: I receive little assistance through grants or any other source except donations. My monthly cost for maintenance (food, flea/tick control, heart worm preventative) is $2000 to $2500. That doesn’t include additional needs such as pens, fencing, crates, vet bills($3000 monthly) etc. When you consider these ongoing costs, you realize the adoption fee is truly minimal! If you’re considering adoption, please fill out an application. If you are interested in one of our dogs I will contact you after reviewing your application. If you do not find a dog on our dogs page that interests you, don’t worry, there are many more needy dogs than I am able to house at my location — I will help you give a deserving dog a forever home! Spaying and Neutering are REQUIRED – no dog is ever adopted intact…if you wonder why, please read the below… The Facts About Spaying and Neutering One female dog and her offspring can be the source of 67.000 puppies in six short years One female cat and her offspring can produce 420,000 kittens in seven years Spaying a female eliminates the possibility of it developing uterine or ovarian cancer and greatly reduces the chances of breast cancer Neutering a male reduces incidence of prostate enlargement and prostate cancer later in life Neutering will make your pet more affectionate and less likely to roam, get in fights or become lost Pets become fat and lazy from a result of overeating and lack of exercise not from spaying or neutering There is no need for a female to have a litter before she is spayed Females can be spayed as early as 8 weeks old, it is MUCH less stressful on them. Neutering a male is an easier operation than spaying and is recommended as early as 8 weeks Your pet may feel some slight discomfort after the operation but this is controllable and lasts only a short while Having puppies is much more painful than spaying because there is no anesthesia We always have more dogs than we have funds . . . your donation is much appreciated!
