We wanted to introduce everyone to the latest Free To Live Animal Sanctuary dogs that we are working with. Please meet Tiger and Tesla.

Tiger has been coming to see us since March of 2026, he is a 12 year old, ever so sweet ball addict. Tiger is coming in to see us to help with his hind end arthritis and he loves to swim and play fetch. He has been with Free to Live for over 7 years now and we would LOVE to see him get another furever home. He is such a joy to be around.

Tesla has been coming to see us since August of 2025 for ACL surgery recovery. She is a 10 year ball of fun and is wonderful with people, but needs time with other dogs. We would love to see her get another furever home also. She is onery, but really enjoys being the center of attention.

Thank you to all who have been donating for helping these sweeties get their much needed therapy swims.

Woo hoo - look at that little Dachshund Autumn chasing our dogs around in the playroom! IVDD, 2 back surgeries and one neck surgery is not holding her back one bit. Go little girl-go! P.S. she is one amazing little swimmer also. https://www.facebook.com/share/v/17HYdh5MeX/

Everyone knows that we have the greatest jobs ever except on days like today. Today we have to say good bye to Charlie. This will be his last swim before he passes over the Rainbow Bridge. We have really grown to love Charlie. His personality and his senior disposition are what makes our job so great. Please say a prayer for him and his parents as they go through these tough days that we all know so well. He will be missed.

What a great way to start off a morning. A big thank you to a great group of staff at Iris Memory Care - NW OKC for helping to make this happen. Thank you Voyages of Cosmo for all of the entertainment. Hopefully we can do this again real soon.

Who say’s you have to be a certain breed to be a water dog? Meet Wynter. An 8-year-old Dachshund who had an IVDD episode in 2023. After spine surgery, Wynter was not walking. With a lot of help from multiple vets, swimming here and a great mom, look at her now. Wow. Now that’s a water dog.

Please take the time to watch Bella's story from Free To Live Animal Sanctuary. She has been coming to see us since January 30th of this year to help with her severe arthritis. Bella has made such an improvement in the short amount of time she has been swimming, she walks better, she stands taller and seems all around happier. The underwater video was filmed so we could see how much she is moving. We are able to get her to work all four legs and her core so much more than swimming alone can do. We enjoy working with her so much. We just wish she could find her fur-ever home, she has been looking way too long for her perfect person. Thank you Free To Live Animal Sanctuary to allow us to work with her.
Go Bella Go!

We are excited to be working with Free To Live Animal Sanctuary and Ferdinand! Ferdinand is a 9 year old Mastiff mix and is coming in to see us for help with his severe arthritis and osteoarthritis and bone spurs on his spine. Thanks to a generous donor, we are hoping to make him more comfortable, and relieve some of his pain. Ferdinand is looking for his fur-ever home and he is oh-so-sweet.
Please think about donating to Free to Live to help Ferdinand and more dogs (and cats) in their care and follow us to see his progress.
Give us a call and let's see if we can help your pup with their arthritis pain also.
