Our hearts are SO FULL after yesterday. ❤️🥹
Honestly, I don’t even know where to begin. I’ve spent the past several days crying on and off somewhere between pure joy, complete exhaustion, and feeling so incredibly blessed. 😂😭❤️ Starting a rescue is no small thing, and getting to celebrate ONE YEAR of SOARS surrounded by so much love and support is something I’ll never forget.
We couldn’t have dreamed of a more special way to wrap up our first year, and it’s all because of YOU!
And the wins?! Y’ALL. 🥹🐾 We received 7 adoption applications yesterday, including applications for pairs! SEVEN! That is a HUGE deal! Our team is processing them today, and we’re keeping our fingers and paws crossed for some wonderful matches! 🤞❤️
It was also so special to see our fellow rescues and animal welfare organizations show up to celebrate alongside us. We’re all working toward the same goal, and having you there meant more than you know!
A huge thank-you to:
🐾 4 PAWS Support
🐾 OKC Animal Welfare
🐾 Bethany Animal Welfare
🐾 okbulldogrescue
And we couldn’t have pulled off yesterday without our incredible businesses and sponsors!

Rescue is hard. The cases are heartbreaking, the work never seems to end, and some days it feels like we can’t possibly do enough. But yesterday was a beautiful reminder of WHY we do this. There are people who care, people who show up, and a community that believes in what we’re doing.
SOARS may be a little rescue finishing its first year, but we are surrounded by some pretty incredible people. To our supporters, adopters, fosters, volunteers, donors, fellow rescues, sponsors, and everyone who came out yesterday — THANK YOU for being part of our story. ❤️
I’m exhausted, emotional, probably still going to cry a little more, and more grateful than I can put into words. What started as a dream has become something so much bigger because of this community.
Here’s to year two, more lives saved, more happy endings, and a whole lot more tails wagging! 🐶🐱
We did this together. And we’re just getting started. 🐾❤️
