From shelters to foster and adoption groups, there are many different options when you are looking to add a new four-legged member to your family. Every week Townsquare's Pet Patrol, brought to you by Midtown Animal Hospital, highlights adoptable pets from across the Southwest Oklahoma and North Texas areas, hoping to find homes for shelter pets from throughout the region.

This week we are highlighting animals from 12 shelters, and hope to add more as momentum builds for this project. We will also be featuring information on upcoming events at our local shelters, as well as bringing you information on upcoming fund raising activities for these organization.

The Pet Patrol is brought to you by Midtown Animal Hospital. We would also like to thank Just 4 K9s and Kitty 2, your home for grooming supplies, as well as all of your pets' needs, from food to beds to toys. Please remember to spay and neuter, and of course to adopt, not shop!

    Rainbow Bridge Can Wait - 580 919-0439

    This is Avionna, and she is so pretty! She is a young, high energy dog, who likes people & dogs but doesn't seem to consistently recognize when other dogs don't want to play or are done playing. She is house & kennel trained, and does alright on a leash after the initial excitement. Would do best in an active home. We don't recommend Avionna for families with small children, as she's a bit high energy and likely to knock them down. 

    Avionna's adoption Fee is 150.00 dollars, and all Rainbow Bridge Can Wait’s companions are spayed or neutered, come with age appropriate shots, dewormed, and on flea and heartworm preventatives. They are also microchipped, and RBCW pays the activation into adopters name. All of our dogs also qualify for a free month of health insurance, upon adoption. The adopter must activate insurance at time of adoption.

    If you are interested in Avionna, please call 580-654-2513 or message us on our Facebook page.  Thank you!

    This is the appropriately named Angel. She fas found on a very busy street after being hit by a car. She was brought into the shelter, where Angel was found to have suffered a broken leg and some abrasions. She was very calm and just let them take care of her. She waited for her owner to reclaim her, but no one ever came looking for her.  After much thought, and talking with the vet, we decided to have the leg amputated. She is currently boarded with the vet were she could heal.

    Angel is a very sweet and gets along with the other dogs in her foster home. Her favorite things are to lay on a big doggy pillow in the living room and beg for people food, which she doesn’t need.

    Angel is appears to be an Italian Greyhound, Chihuahua mix and about 2-3 years old. She has been spayed, de-wormed, has all her vaccinations updated, and has been tested for heartworms, and is also microchipped. She has healed nicely and is ready for a fur-ever home.

    If you are not able to adopt and would like to make a contribution to Angel’s medical expenses, we would be happy for you to do that. For more information about adopting Angel, email  swoan@swbell.net
