True Friends Animal Rescue

This sweet perky eared girl was surviving on the streets and caring for puppies under a abandoned home. She was lucky and someone spent the time to trap her off thebstreets and crawl under a home to rescue her babies. After a couple days locked up in a area with her puppies Nova became dangerously aggressive. Her pups where 7-8 weeks so, she was removed from her puppies. She went off to a trainer to break her out of survival mode. After a week she began to blossom and come out of her shell. Turns out the terrified dog trying to protect her babies has a awesome temperament. She has been good with all dogs, and cats she has met. Little hand shy with new people but easily bought off with treats or soft pets. She is a avid tennis ball chaser. She is still awaiting her home in Oklahoma. She was very malnourished due to life on the streets and caring for her puppies. Having the NUTRO Pet Food donated by the Greater Good Charities has been a blessing to get her back to health.

URGENT I AM READY FOR ADOPTION, FOSTER, or TRANSFER!

Hello, my name is Nova, it been a crazy 2024 for me, you see I was raising my puppies on the streets in SW Oklahoma City in the winter, and then I ended up in a trap trying to get food to survive. The humans had my puppies too, I was so scared when we arrived at our new location I was trapped in a room with my puppies and no longer able to escape, so I started defending them from these unknown humans that trapped me. After about a week my babies were moved away from me as they were over 6 weeks and I was in momma defense mode. I ended up back into a cage and off to a trainer’s home. That is where I started the first chapter to my new life. I spent a week terrified to interact with my trainer, mostly shut down, but willing to defend myself. You see after an unknown amount of time on the streets had left me in survivor mode, very flighty and my mommy hormones where all over the place. After some time to decompress the trainer pushed me to accept a leash, and in no time at all I remembered what it was like when I was a pet before. I got to lay on soft beds inside a home, chew up dog toys, and my favorite is to play fetch with a ball. I will sneak on the couch if you’re not looking, and despite street life I don’t like going outside in the cold or wet. I enjoy a car ride but do best with a seatbelt restraint. I share the trainer’s home with serval other dogs and cats. I will need a little time and patients to adjust to a new place and people, but I am bought off by a nice snacks. Soon as I know you are a safe human; we will be besties. (Nova warms up to new people quickly within minutes in an environment she is comfortable in, she is more cautious in new places, with new people and takes her time to greet)

Adoption fee is $75, this dog is about 2-3 yrs old and in the 50 lb range, Nova is spayed and current on vaccines and Heartworm negative.

Thanks to the Greater Good Charities and NUTRO Pet Food affordable food donations she is doing amazing.

Simple Analogy—Why we can’t saved them all…

Every time rescue is asked to take an owner surrender- we have to somehow make room on our little raft for that dog.
When an owner says stuff like “I don’t have time to give them the best life” or “I have to move” or “they have too much anxiety” it really falls flat because that means if we bring them on the raft, another dog out there in the freezing water gets to die.

Every day rescue adjudicate life and death by gate keeping who can get on the boat.

Rescues and shelters are the tiny Rescue Boats.

The Ship is our community at large.

The iceberg is comprised of puppy mills, careless owners, backyard breeders, and those who won’t spay/neuter.
