Nobody ever returned my phone call and I really needed help. It's ok though. No hard feelings

We went and took our family to try and rescue a dog. Went out and spent 2 hours walking the whole place and looking at all the dogs. We found 2 we loved and we’re super good with our kids. We then filed out an app and waited for an email or call. 5 days later we finally got a call for them to tell us they can’t adopt one out to us because our household wasn’t calm enough with our 3 kids, even though they hadn’t inspected our home like they had asked to do in their app. We have another rescue dog that loves all the love he gets from my kids. I’ve talked to around 30 other people who either have also tried to adopt or are affiliated with other rescues and they all say they don’t really want to adopt them out. The lady I talked to also said they run a non kill shelter so they can live their whole lives out there and be ok but I can’t imagine that’s the goal. Those 2 dogs really missed out on a great home, we have since went to another shelter and found a beautiful little girl who deserved a home. Too bad these people don’t think all their dogs deserve homes. Very very sad. Luckily Bella doesn’t discriminate on people for having kids and actually want to find their dogs good homes! I feel sorry for those animals out there

Do I need an appointment to drop off a dog?

Hi Brad, Yes - we stay full the majority of the time, so it is always best to call first to see if we have room before making the drive out here. You can also find resources on petfinder.com. If you put your zip code in the rescue and shelter tab, it will pull up all the wonderful resources around you!

Is it a crime to dye a dog hair.

Hi Triedge, It is not a crime, but should be done responsibly with dyes that don't harm the animal!

Unfortunately they were at capacity being a no kill shelter. You could call and ask, they might have resources to direct you in the right direction.

Can u take care of two dogs that belong to my friend? She needs a place for them to go until she can get setup. Her and her boyfriend broke up and it’s his house so she needs some place she can take her dogs that won’t kill them

Do you do any kind of animal welfare checks i think we a person moved out of there house and left her dogs to fend for themselves its sad to see them out with no one to care. There are 2 of them and the female is really aggressive.

The actual animal shelter does this. Contact them

We have cats and bunny rabbits that were left by our neighbors. Would this place take them in or does anyone know a place I can contact? There was one kitten eaten by a coyote already. Don't want this to happen to the other animals.

Go on petfinder.com and see if there's any local places that will take them all

Melissa Akers | Oct 19, 2019
Shannon Libby | Oct 19, 2019

They don't.. I already called them about the same thing.

I have become ill and am no longer able to take care of my dog. Would they take her and help find a place for her. She is fixed. Kid friendly and is a good dog. It kills me to have to let her go.

You have to call in the morning. I know we are at capacity for dogs, not sure about cats.

If I have a elderly dog around the age of 10yrs could I bring her to you to take care of her? I'm basically looking for a retirement home for her to live out the rest of her days

Nancy June, I know it's easy to assume the worst. But we don't know the circumstances. Jeff Raney, I'm probably too late to help you, but there are several places in OKC that will take a surrendered dog, and fosters will care for him or her until a Forever Home is found. That said -- cats and dogs are not toys, folks. Like children, they require a commitment to care for them throughout their entire lives - for cats, that can be as long as 18- 20 years now. I don't know as much about dogs. So just a reminder that when we adopt a cat or dog, we *must* carefully consider how long that commitment is for. Never a commitment to be taken lightly, but one that pays off in some of the most unconditional love I have ever seen. They don't ask much from us. I always wished my kitty girls needed me to do something for them, because they brought me so much joy.
