Animal Rescue Foundation of Bartlesville

Prior to 2018, ARF depended on foster homes for dog rescues. We are now finalizing construction of our dog adoption area and we will soon have dogs on site and will continue to rely on foster homes as well. All ARF rescue dogs have been spayed or neutered, heartworm checked negative, and have all appropriate vaccinations. Effective 2/11/18 ARF's adoption fee is $150 which includes a complimentary year's membership to ARF Park ($50 value). (Currently the average cost of each dog's veterinary care including spay/neuter at one of our low cost clinics is $206.)

If you are interested in viewing, adopting or fostering one of our dogs, please visit us or contact ARF 918-766-0991. We make every effort to ensure our dogs are adopted into their FOREVER home with a fenced yard. Those interested in adoption must visit our facility, complete an Adoption Application including non-family references (which must be approved by ARF officers) and complete a 3-day waiting period. ARF may or may not require a home visit before an adoption application is complete.

ARF is in need of foster homes! Sometimes a facility kennel setting is not appropriate for senior dogs or dogs in recovery. If you have a fenced yard with shade and would like to help, please call ARF at 918-766-0991.

Please check our Other Dogs Needing Homes listings and visit www.wcspca.org or www.petfinder.com (searchable by breed or location) for pets in need of homes!

	Darcy Darcy WAS a very pregnant female Greater Swiss Mountain Dog when she came to ARF 3/24/18. She was on the euthanasia list at Tulsa Animal Welfare. She has an damaged nerve in a rear leg that is irrepairable, but she compensates for it nicely and is in no pain. (We were first told by a vet it appeared to be a torn acl that needed surgery for repair, but a later a second opinion from a specialist in Tulsa determined it was a damaged nerve. She delivered 10 Easter puppies on 4/1/18!!! Update--pups all have applications pending and are awaiting spay/neuter on 6/23.
	Gizmo Gizmo is a 10 year old neutered Chihuahua /King Charles spaniel mix(?) He was surrendered by his owner to the WCSPCA. He was mostly kept outside and is scared of storms and would escape when a storm would hit. He was observed during a storm in their office and was fine. Gizmo is very sweet - just needs a bath and haircut! He rode well in a crate for the car ride to ARF. (5/29/18)
	Logan Arrived at ARF week of April 16 and settling in. Estimated 9 month old male cattle dog/Rottweiler (?) mix. Rescued from apparently dumped in the country. Was neutered 5/5 and is now ready for adoption. (4/9/18)
	LuLu (formerly June Bug) June Bug is a 10 month old spayed female Basenji mix. She was owner surrendered to WCSPCA because they didn’t have a fence and she chases cars. She is a medium sized dog, crate trained and housebroken! (5/29/18)
	Max (in foster care) Max is a young neutered male Shepherd mix surrendered to ARF after we received a call from the owner (in Nov 2017 when he was 5 months old pictured below) adamant that "he was paralyzed and needed to be euthanized". After some vet care, good quality food and TLC in his foster home he is now growing into a handsome dog. He loves soft squeeky toys, enjoys other dogs but enjoys people too. He is curious about cats but when they run he will chase them. Max is housebroken (doggie door in foster home), enjoys rides in a vehicle, needs leash training (he's strong!). Max graduated beginning obedience training classes with a 2nd place ribbon on 4/19! Max will be a very loyal companion but needs a pack leader. He is ready to learn! Call ARF 918-766-0991 to schedule an appointment to meet Max. (11/9/17)
Incoming rescues below are in ARF's care, but not quite ready for adoption. ARF dog volunteers are working on socializing, teaching basic manners and leash training. Puppies will remain in foster care until they receive all puppy shots and are ready for spay/neuter. Our goal is for all our rescues to be people and dog friendly before they are ready to be adopted.
	Harlan Neutered male Jack Russell Terrier/Pug mix; from euthanasia list at Tulsa Animal Welfare. His days of standing in the far corner of his kennel are now gone. This little guy is learning how to be a little dog! He's coming out of his shell and is playing with Mama Lisa! Will be a while before he's ready for a forever home, but he will get there. (3/24/18)
NOW ADOPTED...
