Forever Yours Dog Rescue was founded on November 8th, 2011 by three very dedicated and determined women. Between the three of us, we have twenty-five years experience in rescue, volunteering, fostering, and fundraising. We have over a hundred years of love for dogs.
We are an Oklahoma city based all-breed dog rescue. We don’t care about a dog’s breed, size, condition, age, or color. If a dog is in need of rescue and we are in a position to help, we will.
We care for the unwanted, abandoned, neglected and abused dogs of Oklahoma. We rescue dogs from the streets as well as from local shelters and shelters throughout Oklahoma, especially small rural shelters with no public adoption programs.
We do take in owner surrender’s under certain situations. If you have found a dog and are willing to foster the dog until it finds a home, we will cover the cost of vetting and work to find the dog a great forever home, but we need your commitment to foster the dog until we can find the best home possible.
We advocate spay/neuter and offer assistance in finding a low-cost option for those that qualify. Spaying/neutering your pet is one of the best things you can do for them to insure they live a healthy and happy life, and are not contributing to the over-population problem that plagues Oklahoma and many other states in the US.
We promote adoption as an alternative to buying your pet. Oklahoma is number two in the United States in the number of operating puppy mills. These mills are living hells for the mom and dad dogs that are forced to reproduce for their greedy owners. When you adopt a pet from a shelter or rescue, you can know that you part of the solution and not part of the problem.
We provide pet ownership education through materials, counseling, and on-site workshops, at no cost to the public, with an emphasis on preventative care. We are available to come to your school, church, organization, or place of employment and present a program educating the public on the benefits of adopting instead of buying their next family member.
Adoption Policy
Adoption Application
After we receive your adoption application, we will contact you if we have any more questions or concerns. Our goal is to not only find our rescued dogs the best home possible, but to make sure the adoption is going to be the best for the adopter as well. If we feel the dog you are interested in is not a good fit for your situation, it is not because we don’t want you to adopt from us, it is because we want you to find the best dog for you and/or your family.
We feel very strongly that all animals in a home should be spayed/neutered. We understand that there could be medical reasons why an animal may not be fixed, so if that is the case, please explain on the application.
We will try our absolute best to contact you within 72 hours of receipt of your application so please be patient. It will take us more time to contact you if there are multiple applications on a dog to go through so we apologize for that. If approved, we will make arrangements for you to meet your chosen dog and possible new family member! An application by you is in no way a contract to make you adopt the dog. It is just the first step in the adoption process.
Make sure that you fill out each part of the form. If the questions doesn’t apply to you, then please type NA so that the form will be submitted. An error is being given after the application is submitted. We are not sure why this error keeps occurring but we are in fact receiving applications.
You can always email us at [email protected] so ask if your application was received.
