Tulsa Black Friday


You could spend this coming Black Friday saving instead of shopping. Avoid the long lines and curl up with a loving new foster pet. Foster pets make great lap warmers during the cold Oklahoma winters.

Free snuggles and no lines!! If that isn't the perfect doorbuster we don't know what is. If you are interested in fostering or adopting a pet this holiday season please visit www.arftulsa.org

Tulsa's Going to the Dogs

Tulsa animal lovers are raiding their attics and buried treasure to donate to ARF Tulsa. The items will be auctioned of at Southside Auctions to raise money for animal rescue. Have something worth drooling over that you would like to donate?
We are never too proud to beg. So meet Bugsy. Begging happens to be his speciality..

and meet these three little wild things. I think their the cutest babies in Tulsa paws down...

Please take a peak in your garage, attic or basement. It could help save Tulsa's furry friends. Some items that could go into the auction would be antique or collectible dolls, hand-sewn quilts, collectible pottery (McCoy, Rosewood, Weller, etc.), collectible porcelain or glass (Limoges, Nippon, Royal Worchester, Spode, Occupied Japan, etc.), doll houses or doll house furniture, jewelry, collectible kitchenware (Depression era or before), tools, fishing gear, sports memorabilia, old toys and games (1970s and before), and fine art.
Wishing you a day full of tummy rubs and puppy kisses!!!

Have you fallen for Bugsy or the furry trio? They are available for adoption. www.arftulsa.org

EXCITING BIRTH ANNNOUNCEMENTS!


We are proud foster parents to a litter of toy poodle puppies!
Their mommy is one of fifteen toy poodles rescued. We also got our paws on several Brussel Griffons.

A sweet little Chihuahua just gave birth too. Their Daddy is a mystery and Mommy won't kiss and tell. We suspect Pug or Boston Terrier.

Having the time and resources to take in dogs from breeders closing their doors means very much to us. ARF Tulsa spays or neuters every pet that we adopt out. This means that we do so much more than save one pet at a time. We help decrease pet overpopulation for generations to come with every rescue. We also see that they receive proper medical attention, a tattoo, vaccines and a loving home. Bringing in so many dogs and moving so quickly can take a toll on our volunteers and funds. Being forced to turn away a pet would take an even greater toll on our hearts. Thank you for supporting a lifetime of rescue and love.

Furry Fourth of July

All the festivities can have Rover's hair on end. Here is a Fourth of July checklist for your furry friend:
1. Make sure identification tags are secure and all information is current.
2. Be certain that your pet is safe and secure. A frightened pet becomes an instant Houdini. Shelters become flooded with runaway pets over the weekend.
3. If your pet is exceptionally anxious consider contacting your veterinary for a mild sedative to calm your animal down during the big boom.
The safest place for your pet is in your home home with access to a place of comfort. Most pets prefer to hide under beds, tables and couches when frightened. It is tempting to bring your pet with you to celebrate but it can be overwhelming for animals. The noise, activity and strange new smells is too much for most pets.
Enjoy your weekend!!!

A very special thank you to "Cheaper than Therapy" for letting us join in on A Thousand Word Thursday!!

Inspired By Caroline

Nine year old Caroline mastered the art of giving and successfully launched her own fundraiser.

Caroline Cremin is a 4th grader in Oklahoma. She has always loved animals, especially dogs. Her family has two dogs named Tinkerbell and Cookie. The experience of adopting Cookie opened Caroline’s eyes to the overpopulation and neglect many animals face. She began searching for ways to help pets find homes and get the proper care they deserve. For her 9th birthday, Caroline received a bottle-cap necklace from a friend that had been purchased at a local boutique. She and her mother, Stacey Cremin, decided they would try to make their own version of bottle-cap necklaces. Together, they could custom design and sell them for a lower cost than the boutique and raise money to help abandoned pets. The response was overwhelming! Friends, family, and teachers purchased necklaces from Caroline. As Caroline began earning money, she thought about how the proceeds could best be spent. She and her family had learned about ARF from their friend and ARF volunteer, Diane Barker. Caroline shared ARF’s mission to rescue animals from city shelters and knew they needed extra money to provide for their care. After reaching her goal of two hundred dollars, Caroline happily donated the money to ARF. She feels a strong love and moral obligation to help homeless animals.

We are humbled by Caroline's generous donation to ARF Tulsa. She exemplifies the spirit of giving that enables us to continue our mission. Please help yourself to this fun little button "Inspired by Caroline" and help us spread her uplifting story of generosity. Just cut and paste the code below into your own blog as HTML.

Broken But Brave


This sweetie was hit by a car and came to ARF broken and facing euthanasia. His surgery was expensive and ARF was faced with a very hard decision: euthanasia or costly surgery. ARF's final decision was guided by the promise made to each animal. Our promise is that we will do everything in our power to see that each love bug finds their way into our organization will not face abandonment, abuse or neglect ever gain. The price paid to honor that commitment was worth every penny and Barney is on the road to a full recovery. Thank you so much for your continued contribution. It is through your donations of time and money to animal rescue that allow us to save and treat our furry friends. Barney is healing and looking for a loving home. He appreciates your well wishes and if you would like to make a donation to Animal Rescue in honor of his will to survive or welcome him into your home please visit http://www.arftulsa.org/
Get Well Soon Barney!
