7. Money
Adult · Male · Pit Bull Terrier / Hound / Mixed · 22 mi from Tulsa




Money is a true survivor who has already overcome more than any dog should have to. He was confiscated from a property after being abandoned, and we later learned that before he was left behind, Money had been hit by a car. His front leg was so severely mangled that it could not be saved, and he ultimately had to undergo an amputation. But losing a leg certainly hasn’t slowed Money down! This sweet boy is house-trained, crate-trained, and dog-friendly. He has adjusted incredibly well to life on three legs and is ready to put his difficult past behind him. With the right introduction and a knowledgeable home, he may also be able to live with cats.After everything Money has been through, we want his next chapter to be the one where he finally gets to be someone’s beloved family member!<br /><br />Okie Pet Rescue<br />okiepetrescue@gmail.comokiepetrescue.org<br />An application must be completed and approved after a comprehensive review.

Adopting a large dog in Tulsa
Large dogs need room to stretch out and plenty of exercise: at least one good walk a day, and a secure yard is a bonus. Check your lease too, as some landlords limit the size or breed of dog.
Start training from day one. A big dog who walks nicely on a leash and doesn't jump up is a pleasure to live with, and many rescues can recommend a local trainer.
