Welcome to Bar K Rescue Madness
OKLAHOMA CITY!
Bar K Rescue Madness is an online tournament to raise awareness for animal rescue in Oklahoma City. Sixteen local rescues have each selected one incredible ADOPTABLE all-star (listed below) to compete for your vote! Winning dogs will move onto the next round, The Final Fur, and eventually, the Tournament Championship, which will be held as an online and live event on Sunday, April 7th.

MEET PRUDO
| Meet Prudo! This big, beautiful pup is a special boy who needs an experienced pet parent. Prudo loves dogs of all sizes. He would enjoy a playful dog close to his size. He loves going on walks and car rides. Prudo can be mouthy when playing or communicating. For this reason, he is not recommended for households with kids. He knows sit and shake and is very smart. Prudo is potty trained and asks out when he needs to potty. A backyard with a good, tall fence is recommended. A high value treat like peanut butter or wet food is recommended for bath time and when putting him in his enclosure. His tummy can be picky so be careful changing foods. Prudo has separation anxiety and will need a sturdy enclosure or room when you leave him home alone. While Prudo doesn’t crave cuddles, he has a lot of love to give. He enjoys sleeping next to his person’s bed at night. Prudo is a handsome and kind soul who blossoms into a loyal and true companion with time and love. It is truly a pleasure getting to understand and know him. |

MEET CAPTAIN
Introducing Captain, a noble and resilient 5-year-old male German Shepherd, currently residing with a loving foster family in Piedmont. Captain’s journey to recovery is nothing short of remarkable. Rescued from a neglectful situation where he was underfed and chained outdoors, suffering from sores on his ears, he never had the opportunity to showcase his true potential. But since being in foster care, Captain has made incredible strides, quickly mastering house and crate training. Initially unfamiliar with the concept of play, Captain is now discovering the joy of toys and fun. Despite a hint of stubbornness, his eagerness to learn is evident in his mastery of commands like sit, down, and stay, both verbal and hand signals, and he’s actively improving on others such as off, easy, and come.
If you’re an approved adopter and feel you could be the perfect match for Captain, please contact us at oklahomagsr@gmail.com. To become pre-approved, simply fill out an adoption application at www.oklahomagsr.org. Captain is eager to start his new life filled with love, companionship, and the freedom he deserves.
Fun Facts: He loves car rides, he’s never met a toy that he can’t destroy, and is a perfect gentleman around his foster dog siblings
