Hello and Happy New Year to our circle of friends, relatives and supporters:
Please visit us at our new website at straynomore.com. We've had the website for many years but thanks to a wonderful high school friend of Chris' (many thanks Coertje!!!) it is now rebuilt and really exciting. Soooooooo check it out !!!!
We survived the Blizzard of '09, thank God. All our little animals did too with lots of tarps, straw, and constant attention. Our many thanks to our wonderful guys at the farm, Richard and O.B. We couldn't do it without them.
Also other BIG BIG NEWS !!!! A promise of a kennel building at our farm by a generous supporter so we are thrilled. Hopefully we will have a new shelter soon to keep the rain and snow off of the many pups. It will be an answer to many prayers.
We still have many older, wonderful dogs and cats for adoption. They are mature, loving, and devoted companions. There is a very special feeling about adopting a senior fellow or lady who has had a rough life and is now so appreciative of a safe and comfortable home.
We are again going to Petsmart in Edmond on various Saturday afternoon's with dogs for adoption. If you have a particular dog in mind, call before and we can bring him/her to the Outreach. Real Rescue has been a Petsmart Charity for years and look forward to seeing all our friends there soon.
News
We are looking for help at our rescue/sanctuary farm outside of Arcadia, Oklahoma. If you enjoy working with dogs, cats, pigs, and other various critters, give us a call at 405-414-5651. Please only call if you have time to volunteer and are responsible and committed.
Who We Are
Real Rescue, Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit Oklahoma Corporation that was created by Dana and Chris Venters in June 2001. We are a true "no-kill" shelter and have never euthanized any animal due to lack of placement. The term "no-kill is often used with the catch phrase "no-kill of adoptable animals" meaning someone at some time decides if an animal is placeable or not. This is not our policy. We believe every animal is either adoptable or will be a resident of the sanctuary area of our Rescue. As a sanctuary animal he/she will live out their life with human contact, food, medical care, and shelter. Many are finally adopted, sometimes after years of being with us. We try to help any creature that crosses our path and is in need of assistance. We provide whatever medical, psychological, physical and nutritional care the animal needs. Of course, this is expensive and we depend entirely on tax-deductible contributions from family, friends, and supporters. We especially try to help elderly and handicapped animals and people. We do accept animals from individuals and other groups when space permits. Hopefully, you will find one or more of your true life-long companion animals here.
Thank you for visiting our website. Call us if you would like to see one of the animals. If you would like to make a contribution to help the animals please mail it to: PO Box 358, Arcadia, OK 73007. Thank you. We'll keep you posted on our "work in progress".
Adopting a friend
Our requirements are based primarily on the needs of the animal being considered for adoption and the needs of the individual or family that is considering adopting. Like people, our animals are such wonderful "individuals" with special needs that, when met, will make their life long and happy. Since all of our animals have had such trauma, survived, and been nursed back to health we are very conscientious about their future homes. They've beaten the odds at least once, we don't want them to have to do so again. We do require home visits before placements, all pets neutered, inside/outside access, and continuing medical care when necessary. We will always reclaim an animal if the situation changes in the family or there is some unforeseen problem with the pet. We will make every effort to help a family resolve the problem. We do not place any unaltered animals for breeding. Our primary purpose is to locate the exact safe and secure home that our precious "charge" is needing to find. We consider ourselves merely the bridge from loving animal to loving caretaker. Please see our Adoption Application.

We have visitors by appointment only at this time.
