My, then seven year old,son had asked Santa for a puppy for Christmas so he could be his best friend. Our family dog had died the summer before and we missed her so much, we felt like our family was not complete without a four legged family member. I had been looking for a rescued dog online for months and always ended up back at OK Save A Dog's site. Their dogs were always happy and healthy looking after they had a chance to care for them and let them come to know they were safe and loved. I balked at the strict application rules a bit a first but, when we had looked all over town at shelters and other rescue places, I realized they were the best-they were there for the dogs welfare and only had their best interests in mind. That is the way it should be. When we drove out to see them after our application had been accepted, I was astonished at the cleanliness and well appointed facilities they maintained for the dogs. Dogs of all sizes and shapes were playing and wagging there tails, not cooped up in crates or small pens. It was very impressive and you could tell that they lived for these little guys. They made sure that we understood our responsibility, helped make sure that we were matched with the right pet for us, and we left with a healthy, happy, neutered and vet vaccinated and checked pup. He has been a perfect fit for us and the following year we adopted another one, this time an older girl who they saved the day before she was to be put down at the shelter. She gave birth to healthy puppies the next day! They had a foster care for them until they were weaned and old enough to be with there own new families and she is a happy spoiled little girl now, we all couldn't be happier. I strongly recommend OK Save A Dog, their knowledge, care, and dedication is outstanding. I have often heard of these folks referred to as angels, I think that might be right.

She rescued my dog that I surrendered to the shelter. She was on the list to be euthanize'd. Kim saved her and not only does she take care of her since I no longer could she takes care of me too. We talk several times a week via email and she is so understanding in the way that I miss my dog so much. She is not in the business of saving Human's but she saved me from my guilt and from myself. She has also educated me on so many issues concerning dogs. She is truly an amazing Woman, a credit to the human race and I would be in such bad shape right now with out her. Thank You Thank You Thank You Kim and Sunshine for all the sacrifices you make in an effort to make right what the rest of us do wrong.

I contacted OKSAD about adopting a min pin. She showed me a picture of a sweet red min pin in the pound to be killed THAT DAY. I instantly told her I wanted her and she was brought to the rescue. She was one of the best adoptions I've ever made. *I've adopted all my dogs* Her name was Tessa we brought her home and she is the biggest joy! This was back in Oct. We recently decided to adopt another min pin to add to our family and so OF COURSE I go to OKSAD site and out pops little ISIS. She had only been at the rescue for 5 days and was super tiny. I immediately contacted Kim and asked to adopt her. I adopted her on March 28th and she is a great joy! She is getting bigger and stronger and much more social! I just love her! I cannot thank OKSAD enough for what they do and for my girls. They are a blessing! I send everyone I know to OKSAD! Thanks OKSAD!!!!

I have worked with OKSAD on and off since 2006. I have done transport and fostering for them. They are always ready and willing to back me up with any extra care the animal needs. They keep their rescue clean and presentable. Never smelly. They keep the dogs well cared for. I have worked with other rescues and this is by far my favorite! I never feel like my time is abused or wasted with this group.

I wanted to adopt a dog & I found this organization on PetFinder. When I spoke to the lady she was extremely nice and knowledgeable re: what I was looking for. When I finally got the time to meet her she found the exact dog that fit perfectly with my family. You could tell she was not there just to get rid of the dogs she had. She did a background check & asked me several questions to make sure I was able to care for the dog for the rest of his life. She gets an A+ in my book!

When I was checking around years ago for a dog, I knew I wanted to go through a local rescue shelter. OK Save A Dog was so wonderful to work with and I couldn't ask for a better furry companion! I now follow them on Facebook, and from everything I read, OKSAD still exceeds expectations. They go above and beyond to rescue animals in need and inform the public of upcoming adoption events, fundraising events, etc. The next time I'm looking for a new furry addition to my family, I will definitely return to OK Save A Dog.

We adopted a pet a few years ago and had a wonderful experience with OKSAD. This is definitely the best pet adoption facility in Oklahoma and probably among the other surrounding states as well. The owners take exceptional care of every pet they take in as if they were their own and pets are very well groomed and already spayed/neutered and vaccinated. There is no better way to adopt a pet than from OKSAD. We will definitely adopt all of our pets from now on from them.

In 2008 we lost one of our little dogs, a friend at work pointed me to a listing on Pet Finders of a litter of PomChis. I looked at the listing and realized they were about an hour drive from us, so I applied on line to adopt one of the puppies and once approved, we drove out to OK Save a Dog and met Kim. The dogs were all so well cared for and it was obvious they were happy and loved there. Of course the one we were interested in was one of four from the litter and Kim told us another couple was driving up from Texas to take one of the males, but we could have our pick of the males. Well call us crazy, but we ended up adopting one of the males and both the females that day and have since adopted two more from Kim. I love her dedication to the animals. Some people complain about rescues having adoption applications, etc. I say great, if you can't be bothered to fill out an application to get a new member of your family, then you probably won't be bothered to care for them. Kim and Sunshine are wonderful and the work they do is admirable. Keep saving them Kim and Sunshine and I will keep doing all I can to help!

We adopted our Elly from Ok Save a Dog last year. We were so impressed with the way the dogs were socialized, cared for and they all looked happy and healthy. Kim and Sunshine go out of their way to rescue from kill shelters and abuse situations. I enjoy fostering and volunteering at events when I can. I love these ladies and the love they have for the animals.
