The Best Broken Arrow, OK Dog Rescues & Shelters in 2026

Legacy of Hope Dog Rescue

As I sit here this morning listening to my sleeping dogs, I can't help but think about what is going on in the world. Many people are at home with family and some continue to go to work. As a healthcare worker who goes in everyday and who is risking my life and that of my family, here is what I am asking. Please stay home as much as you can. Take pleasure in the extra time with family and cherish it. Family all grows and changes, especially children, and these will be precious memories for the future. Help your neighbors. Who knows if we all have what we need for the next few weeks. Lets band together to help one another. From the rescue, I would ask you not to dump pets as there is no evidence they can get the virus. If you are home and stir crazy, consider fostering. As we can not have adoption events, this means the dogs in the rescue will stay in foster care longer. Thus we do not have open fosters for more pets. More pets will go to shelters and there will be many more euthanasia's. So open your home so we can try to save as many as we can. On the positive side, there is now time to potty train, socialize and it could be a diversion for bored chidden (or adults). Financially this will be a difficult time for everyone. As a not for profit dog rescue, we depend on donations and adoption fees to be able to continue feeding and providing vet care for pets we take in. As there are no big adoption days, this will be a time we will depend on all of you more than ever before. Please be safe! As the founder of the rescue, let me say THANK YOU to everyone who supports us. THANK YOU to all the fosters and adopters. None of us could do this without all of you. Try to stay positive. I keep telling myself this too shall pass and we are strong enough to weather this storm together.
