Claremore Animal Shelter is FULL.🆘 And when shelters are full, tough decisions happen. That’s the reality whether people want to hear it or not. 💔

Every dog I’m posting here has already been shared on Shelter Support Network, but I’m posting them again, because they NEED more exposure and more people seeing them. 😭😭

Please SHARE and If you are interested in any of these dogs, PLEASE contact the shelter directly for information. They can answer questions about behavior, adoption, fostering, availability, etc.

📍Claremore Animal Shelter
📧 [email protected]
🕑 Mon–Fri 9 AM – 5 PM
🕑 Sat 10 AM – 4 PM

Also, please go follow Shelter Support Network and invite your friends to the page. The bigger that audience gets, the more dogs we can help. 🫶🫶

These dogs do not have time to sit around waiting to “eventually” get noticed.

Update: ADOPTED!!!

I took these photos of Mozz, we shared them on Friends of TAS and he’s still barely getting any interest. And I genuinely don’t understand it. He is SO much fun. Like full-on zoomies, happy, wiggly, wants to engage with you the entire time. The kind of dog that would thrive the second he’s out of the shelter and actually gets an outlet.

unfortunately… today is his deadline at 6PM.

So I’m sharing him here too because I’m hoping maybe this is the post that reaches the right person. Because that’s really what this comes down to most of the time… who sees them.

If you’ve been thinking about fostering or adopting, this is exactly the kind of dog that just needs a chance and a little direction.

📍 Tulsa Animal Services
3031 N Erie Ave, Tulsa, OK
🕑 Open 2–6 PM daily

Please don’t assume someone else is coming.
If you can’t take him, sharing him matters more than you think.

I meet a lot of beautiful dogs…. Every now and then though… one really stops you. Yujiro was that dog for me today! Some dogs take time to warm up during a session. Yujiro leaned right in. He was engaged, smart, playful, and clearly loved having a job to do.

The best part about photographing shelter dogs is getting to see little glimpses of who they truly are outside of the kennel. With Yujiro, you can see the fun, the curiosity, and the big personality just waiting for the right person to bring it out even more.

📸 Meet Yujiro — A172936
🐾 Neutered male, red and white Alaskan Husky
🎂 About 1 year and 11 months old
📅 At Tulsa Animal Services since March 1st

If you’ve been thinking about adding a smart, active, striking companion to your life, he is absolutely worth going to meet in person.

🏡 You can visit Yujiro at Tulsa Animal Services

Spent some time with the cutest birthday boys 🥹🐾

Okie and Beckett just turned ONE and I had the honor of taking their birthday photos. These adorable little schnauzers were full of curiosity, personality, and nonstop sweet moments.

I feel so grateful to be trusted with capturing milestones like this. First birthdays are such a big deal and these boys are clearly so loved.

Happy first birthday, Okie and Beckett. You are both ridiculously cute and I’m so glad I got to document this special moment. 🖤

📸 From behind the camera, Lucy was an absolute little character. She had the most laid back energy , the most adorable head tilts, and that curious “what are you doing?” look the whole time I was taking photos. Dogs like her make photographing shelter pups so fun. 🤍

If Lucy caught your eye, please reach out to Tulsa Animal Services directly for more information about her. 🐾 make sure to follow Friends of TAS 🫶
