A good friend of mine is teaching elementary in a very low income rural Oklahoma school district and needs some supplies and books for his classroom! The teachers there get basically no financial support, so anything helps if you’re able to support💖 www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/...

Hey OKC! as of yesterday I have found myself in possession of these 3 dogs. They are living outside in my backyard. Who wants to give a pup a home? They have had zero medical care and spent most to all of their lives in a homeless encampment. I’ll pay for their spay/neuter expenses.
Sativa, female, maybe 6 months old. Duke, male, about 4 months oldChanel, 11 months old. Probably a few weeks pregnant.
