Here are some of our most recent rescues:
Max – Under Medical Evaluation
Sweet Max will be on Medical Hold for a month or so while he sees a Specialist for a possible liver issue.
Max is 3 years young and ready for his furever home. He came to SWESR because of his love of escaping so he’ll need a home with a secure yard and 6 foot + no climb fencing. Like a typical field ES, we suspect he gets bored outside and mostly wants to be with his people. He loves people, other dogs and has lived with young children. He’s in a foster home in OKC, OK.
Kris
Kris is a 8 year young handsome boy that was left at a shelter in Oklahoma by his previous owner. He is in a foster home in Edmond, OK.
TJ
TJ is 6 years young. He is sweet and timid. His owner passed away and he was a kennel/hunting dog but it turns out that hunting is not his thing. TJ would rather be sitting in your lap. TJ is is in a foster home in Oklahoma City, OK.
Storytellers
Lucy
SWESR Lucy came into rescue in 2021 as a 3-year old, after her hunting guide owner passed away. She’d been kept outside, in a kennel, and it was apparent she’d never been in a house before. She didn’t like loud noises, and a gruff voice from anyone (not even directed at her) sent her like a pancake onto the floor in fear. It took her a year to warm up to her new dad, and even now, three years later, she can be quite hesitant around men. She was on the skinny side when she first came into rescue, but with constancy and security, Lucy is now a wiggly, tail-wagging, healthy and happy girl. She is very smart and learns new things quickly.

Kai
