Occasionally we have adult dogs available. While we do NOT broker adult dogs, or grow dogs out specifically for sale as adults, we do every now and then have a grown out prospect we have decided not to include in the breeding program or a retiring adult dogs, who would be better situated in a new home.
Because we have a lifetime return policy for every puppy we place it also happens that we may have a dog available because their current owner cannot keep them. There are a variety of reasons for this, from job loss, divorce, health problems, or a mismatch of dog and owner needs.
At this time all our own dogs are raised in our home, none are kennel raised or living in the kennel. This means are all socialized to home life, have basic house manners, are house trained, and ready to make someone an excellent companion.
We no longer have any cats as my two seniors passed in 2023 and of course there are only adults living here now, so the current dogs have not been exposed to either.
Established Clients always have priority placement consideration for adult dogs and may request an adult dog even if they do not live locally.
All other adult dogs will only be placed within a 3 hour drive of Tulsa (or the city the dog resides in) and you must visit in person a few times so we (and you) can determine if the match is good for all involved. This also allows you and the dog to get to know each other before the dog is transitioned to the new home.
All OUR adult dogs will be:
1. Home raised and currently living full time in our home with other dogs.
2. Healthy, current on vaccinations, heartworm prevention, worming, flea/tick prevention, and with no known undisclosed medical considerations, full health records maybe requested from our vet to your vet.
3. Behaviorally sound with no known undisclosed behavioral problems, quirks, or challenges. Multiple visits for new clients required so you can get to know the dog before making a decision. All dogs are crate trained, manageable at the vet, pleasant and sociable with visitors unless disclosed otherwise.
Adult Dogs In Need of New Homes

AKA: Bennit:
5 year old male, neutered
Being Fostered In Houston, Texas
Bennit is a young adult male who is in need of a new home because he's become predatory towards livestock, feral cats, and was not really appropriate for his rural home with lots of different type of stock, outdoor, and indoor cats.
To prevent further conflict with livestock, barn cats, chickens and such we are going to place Bennit into a suburban or even urban home. We want to ensure Bennit's next home is perfect for his needs and prevents him from getting into trouble because of his prey drive. So please do not apply if you have cats, poultry, or livestock. But if you are looking for a mannerly, house trained, and delightful companion for a suburban lifestyle this might be the dog for you!
Bennit has lots of merits!
Health: He is the picture of health and has had excellent health care and training. He is neutered/gastropexied and current on all the things. He has a previous fracture of his femur as a puppy but this was repaired by a boarded orthopedic surgeon at the time and poses no ongoing problems. He is perfectly sound for life as a companion dog.
House Manners: Bennit is excellent in the house, has great manners, is not destructive and is a beloved and mannerly companion.
Socialization: Bennit travels really well, has gone lots of places, is well socialized, well traveled, and is good in the car, at the vet, at local stores, on hikes and etc.
Sociability: Bennit loves people, he is confident, friendly, and mannerly with visitors and family members alike.
Children: Bennit loves the family children and is a rock solid and trustworthy companion/protector for them. Homes with school age or older children will be considered.
Housemate Dogs: Bennit has a complicated history with other dogs. He has lived successfully in multi dog household, including those with intact males, but he had a scuffle with a newly introduced housemate dog once, and has seemed a tad uncomfortable with some dogs on walks. For those reasons we would prefer a home where Bennit is the only dog, however, that may not be necessary because his owner and previous foster both told us he was good in multi dog environments. So we will take this on a case by case basis.
Dogs outside the home: Bennit is fine with dogs "out in the world" on leashed walks and etc. He is neutral, not reactive, and walking him, taking him places and etc is fine. As is our advice for everyone, I would not take Bennit to dog parks or other places where he is expected to run with unknown off leash dogs. He is suitable for neighborhood walks and the life of a typical suburban companion.
Exercise needs: Nominal, Bennit is a healthy adult GSD with medium to low energy levels so he only needs regular walks, daily play and enrichment at home, and lots of love.
Training Needs: Nominal, Benneit is great in the house, car, and relatively easy on walks. He requires no training to be a pleasant suburban companion. He is currently having some behavior mod to increase his comfort when he sees certain dogs on walks but generally if you are looking for an easy adult dog he is the guy for you.
Literally the only reason he needs a new home is that his rural home is not suitable for his prey drive and has caused problems with livestock and outdoor type cats.
Bennit is a fabulous companion and once situated in a home that is a good fit for him I think he will make someone an absolutely outstanding companion.
We will be handling the preliminary interviews for Bennit. He is currently being fostered in Houston Texas and can be seen there until November. In November his foster is bringing him back to NE Oklahoma and he can be met here after that.
