Shelter Support Network

Shelter Support Network We provide support, visibility, & advocacy to shelters across OK. Shelter Support Network exists to be part of the solution, helping them be seen & saved.

Overcrowding, limited resources, & difficult euthanasia decisions impact communities statewide.

Last week, we asked for your help to get this little flock out of the shelter… and because of this incredible community, they are SAFE. 💙🐾

We wanted you all to see their adorable little faces before they take flight on transport soon to Colorado Puppy Rescue. Their foster families here in OK are already completely smitten, and every puppy is doing so well.

Tomorrow they have vet appointments with Humane Society of Tulsa, so send them lots of good luck and positive thoughts. ✨

But truly, none of this happens without all of you. These puppies were saved because people shared our posts, donated, stepped up to foster, donated supplies, cheered us on, and cared enough to step up when these babies needed it most.

It takes a community to save lives, and we are so grateful for every single person who helped this tiny flock get their second chance. 🐦💛

If you support what we do, please consider making a donation to help us continue saying “yes” to dogs in need. There will always be another puppy, another medical case, another shelter running out of space, and our goal is to keep stepping in whenever we can. Every donation helps make that possible. 💙

🚨🥺💔 PATRICK & BELLA ARE SET TO BE EUTHANIZED IF THEY ARE NOT OUT BY FRIDAY, JUNE 5TH 💔🥺🚨

This is it, extensions are not guaranteed 😭 they need someone now. No "we'll wait and see." 🆘

Patrick and Bella need a FOSTER OR ADOPTER by Friday, June 5th, or they might not make it out 😥

💔 Patrick has been waiting since February. We've posted him multiple times, and despite being a social, lovable dog, he continues to be overlooked.

💔 Bella has been waiting since October 2025. Nearly eight months in a shelter kennel. She's shy and overwhelmed inside her run, but once she's outside, she's affectionate, gentle, and loves being close to people. Bella has spent far too long waiting for someone to choose her.

These are not bad dogs. They are not broken dogs. They are simply out of time.Please do not scroll past assuming someone else will help.

🏡 Foster homes are urgently needed and can be arranged through SPACAR Animal Advocates of OK

🚨💙 OWNER SURRENDER — ZEUS IS LOOKING FOR A NEW HOME 💙🚨

Meet Zeus 🐾 — a 7-month-old Husky/German Shepherd mix who suddenly found himself at the shelter through no fault of his own.

Still very much a puppy, Zeus is right at that age where he’s curious, energetic, and ready to learn. According to his previous owner, he’s crate trained, does well with toddlers and school-aged kids, enjoys water, and is comfortable with both men and women. 🩵

A few things we know about Zeus:
✨ 7 months old
✨ Husky/German Shepherd mix
✨ Crate trained
✨ Good with children
✨ Likes water
✨ Indoor/outdoor dog
✨ Knows some commands
✨ Has lived with other dogs (owner noted he can be protective of food, so proper management and slow introductions are important)

⚠️ Zeus is still a young shepherd/husky mix, which means he’ll need an active home committed to training, structure, exercise, and enrichment. These are incredibly smart breeds that thrive when given a job and included as part of the family.

He was reported to not do well with cats.

Owner surrenders can become at risk quickly when shelters are full, and Claremore has been overwhelmed with dogs needing placement. Zeus needs someone willing to give him the time, patience, and stability every young dog deserves. ❤️

💖 EVERYONE deserves love.
💖 EVERYONE deserves kindness.
💖 EVERYONE deserves to feel safe, seen, and celebrated.

That goes for people AND animals. 🫶🐶🐱

One of the biggest pillars of our organizations is inclusivity. We believe compassion should never come with conditions. Breed doesn’t matter. Labels don’t matter. Backgrounds don’t matter. What matters is love, empathy, and showing up for those who need us most. 🌎✨

Just like shelter dogs, so many beings in this world know what it feels like to be overlooked, misunderstood, or underestimated. And just like them, every soul deserves the chance to be loved exactly as they are. 🌈🐾

So this Pride Month, we are celebrating:
❤️ Love
🧡 Community
💛 Acceptance
💚 Visibility
💙 Compassion
💜 And the beautiful diversity that makes our world brighter

Because LOVE WINS. Every single time. 🌈✨

🎉 To celebrate, we’ve launched a BRAND NEW Pride merch line!! 🎉
🐾🌈 Pride designs made with love and purpose!

Every purchase helps directly fund:
🐶 Medical care
🐶 Transport
🐶 Supplies
🐶 Rescue efforts

🖤🆘MAX NEEDS OUT 🆘🖤

Meet Max an 8-month-old Rottweiler/Blue Heeler mix currently at Sand Springs Animal Welfare. He’s at that perfect age where he’s still got all the goofy puppy energy, but is old enough to really start bonding with his person. 🥹

Max is a handsome boy with the cutest mix of sturdy Rottie looks and smart, active Heeler energy. He’s medium-sized now and still growing into himself, which just makes him even more adorable.

Dogs like Max don’t do well sitting in shelters for long. He needs a home where he can play, learn, go on adventures, and actually be part of a family. He has so much potential to become someone’s absolute best friend. ❤️

Please help get Max seen by sharing this post or reaching out to adopt/foster.

We honestly don’t even know how to put today into words. 😭💙 All of the puppies are SAFE in Colorado. Every single one.

The bottle babies from Chelsea, OK and Tulsa Animal Services/ Friends of TAS are officially with Colorado Puppy Rescue and are in such good hands. The Fairfax babies from a very rural shelter are safe with CPR too; thanks to the incredible help of SPACAR Animal Advocates of OK.

And the pups from Helpless Hounds, they got to meet their forever families for the very first time today. Watching that happen after such a long day was something really special. 😭

Take a look at the collection of photos from our very first transport; from the moment we got the puppies to the actual transport. Every little face tells a story of hope, second chances, and the amazing people who made this possible. 📸💛

So many people came together to make this happen. Truly. This transport only worked because people stepped up over and over again when help was needed. Thank you to every foster who cared for these puppies like they were your own; you guys are the reason these puppies even made it to this point. ❤️

Thank you to everyone who donated, shared posts, transported, networked, sponsored, cheered us on, and believed in what we are trying to build with Shelter Support Network.

And thank you to Colorado Puppy Rescue for saying yes to Oklahoma dogs. 🐾

Days like today are exhausting, emotional, stressful, chaotic… and completely worth it. 💙

Update: Foster Found 🎉🎉🎉

😭 HOW IS CHAPO STILL WAITING?! 😭
📍Collinsville Animal Services

somehow he is getting almost ZERO attention… and honestly, we can’t figure out why. 💔

This sweet boy even got the full model treatment thanks to Pup Photo Waggin' and absolutely KILLED his photo shoot. 📸🐾 Unfortunately, even after his big modeling moment… Chapo has returned to the shelter and just waiting
😭
He deserves so much more than sitting in a kennel waiting for someone to finally notice him.

Chapo is a 5–6 year old lab/pit mix who has already been through a lot. He was missing for nearly TWO YEARS before ending up at the shelter, and while his original family can no longer take him back, we know there is somebody out there meant for him. 🖤

✨ His adoption fee is SPONSORED to the right home!
✨ Neutered
✨ Heartworm negative
✨ Vaccinated
✨ Microchipped
✨ Monthly prevention given

Please help us show Chapo that his story doesn’t end at the shelter. He’s waited long enough. 😭
