Fairy Dogmother Rescue Inc.
Our Mission
The Fairy Dogmothers Rescue is a foster-based nonprofit in Oklahoma dedicated to providing safe, loving homes for homeless dogs until they find their forever families. We rescue dogs from shelters across the state, partner with other rescues, and accept owner surrenders in need. Through our network of compassionate foster families, we ensure that every dog receives individualized care, medical attention, and the opportunity to thrive in a home environment. Our mission is to give each dog a second chance at life, while promoting responsible pet ownership, spaying and neutering, and community education to reduce pet homelessness.
