Okie (aka Zelle)found a forever home!

Let’s take a moment to celebrate the sparkling star that is Okie! 🌟 Now, who among you is a fan of the ever-lovable Lab? This charming pup is one of the 25 exceptionally fortunate dogs arriving in the breathtaking Pacific Northwest this week, all thanks to the heartwarming efforts of our extraordinary rescue partners in Norman, Oklahoma. And let's not forget the magical folks at Dog Is My Copilot, ensuring these sweet souls get the chance they deserve! Now, picture this: Okie may have a mysterious past—be it an owner surrender or a stray journey—but what lies ahead is bursting with hopeful potential! ❤️ This delightful pup is on the lookout for a warm-hearted temporary foster or a forever home where they can unwind, kick back, and step into an exciting new chapter of life. Remember, every rescue pup needs a little extra time, love, and patience as they adapt to their new surroundings, so following the 3-3-3 rule will be key. That’s 3 days to decompress, 3 weeks to settle in, and 3 months to fully feel at home! 🌈 Our dazzling Okie and their furry companions arrive with a full wellness exam, age-appropriate vaccinations, microchipping, and spaying or neutering prior to adoption. We can’t wait to uncover their vibrant personalities as they find themselves in loving foster homes—stay tuned for those adorable updates! Are you feeling the call to open your home and heart to this deserving charm? 🌻 Apply today through the Buddy App to pre-approve your adoption ahead of time. This means you could reserve Okie or be among the first to arrange a meet-and-greet for an in-home trial adoption! Just picture the joy that awaits you! Now, don’t forget—Okie's lucky hero could very well be you! 🦸‍♂️ **IMPORTANT STEPS TO ADOPT:** Remember, our fabulous adoptable dogs are in temporary foster homes scattered between Bend/Central Oregon and the Greater Portland area. That means all meet-and-greets happen outside our facility! Want to know more? Simply submit your adoption application through the Buddy App, and our dedicated adoption program manager will reach out with details on how to meet your new pup! To kickstart adoption, fill out that application in the Buddy App. Don’t hesitate; you could be matched with your perfect pup soon! To complete your adoption, just sign the adoption contract and pay the full fee of $550. This fee helps cover our costs, averaging between $500-$700 per dog for veterinary care, sterilization, and other rescue expenses. As always, our pups are examined by a vet before embarking on their journey to SDH, ensuring they are healthy and ready. Let’s make magic happen together with Okie! 🐶💖 Apply through the Buddy App today!
