Adoptee of The Week

Jesse is a fun loving outgoing boy who's ready to finally settle down into his forever home. He's great with kids and must be in a home with his pal Candy. They are a pair. As you can see with his picture ( he's on the left) they are very good friends. They're both house trained and crate trained. They will make a good addition to any home. Jesse is up-to-date with routine shots, house trained and spayed/neutered. You can find out more about him and our other animals by clicking HERE

Update To Our Story

August 23, 2009: Update to incident involving Natasha Canales’ animal hoarding:

I am writing to thank everyone who responded and helped our efforts to save the animals that Natasha Canales was hoarding and starving inside her residence. The compassion and kindness of the following people will always be remembered and appreciated: Leah Rose, Kelsey Chappel, Tamara Anderson, Laura Benge, Sabrina with Forever Friends, Ruth Muir, Crystal Wise, Vivian Winterman, Marlo Williams, Miranda Thompson, Erin Morgan, Kevin Leslie, Monty Delluomo, Pat Lettimer, Callie McDonald, Mckenzie Jackson, Dr. Chris Rispoli, Gentle Care Animal Hospital, Michelle Shuffield, Pat Pearce with Corgi Rescue, Norita Bridges, ARF in Tulsa, Alex Yofee, Heartland Lab Rescue, Marsha Cowen, Doby Rescue, Free to Live Animal Rescue, Jay McCown, Kim & Jose Munoz, Michelle Smith, T’rea, Chickasha Animal Shelter, Denial & Arletta Blankenship, Ewell Spradlin, Mildred & Tony Risinger, U-Haul in Chickasha; TL & Kimberly Taylor, Integrity Tree Service; Walmart; Tom Lamson, Denise Cox, Celeste Hastie; Petco, Petsmart, Beth, Best Friends in New Jersey. If you are not listed and helped us with this crisis, please know that your efforts were valued and appreciated by all of us. We have now adopted out almost every pet that was rescued from Canales.

I encourage everyone to learn about animal hoarding behavior. People who seem to be very kind and rescue animals can hide serious mental illnesses. Hoarders believe that they are helping animals and see them as healthy and happy, when in reality they are sick and emaciated. There is a 100% recidivism rate for hoarders who do not receive mental health treatment. It is sad and devastating for all involved. You can read more about the warning signs of animal hoarding from the Hoarding of Animals Research Consortium at Tufts University: http://www.tufts.edu/vet/cfa/hoarding/ and www.animalhoarding.com.
