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.
