Texas Heeler puppies and dogs in Tulsa, Oklahoma

Every Western town’s got that one larger-than-life figure who thinks he runs the place—and in this case, that’s Wyatt Earp. At just a few weeks old, this little lawman already knows he’s the biggest pup in the litter and, therefore, the one callin’ all the shots. Don’t bother tellin’ him otherwise—he’s too busy admirin’ himself in the mirror, probably wonderin’ why the other pups don’t look quite as majestic as he does. Wyatt’s an explorer through and through. He’s got enough swagger for three dogs, but don’t let the bravado fool ya—underneath all that confidence, Wyatt’s got a soft spot a mile wide. Wyatt Earp’s the perfect mix of bold and sweet, a fearless adventurer with a cuddle addiction. He’s the kind of pup who’ll keep your days lively, your nights cozy, and your ego in check. So, if you’re lookin’ for a puppy with a big personality, a bigger heart, and the self-confidence of a Hollywood cowboy, Wyatt Earp is your man....err pup. Wyatt Earp is a 6-week-old, 8-pound Border Collie mix (with a touch of Lab and a whole lot of swagger) who’s already declared himself sheriff, mayor, and local heartbreaker of the puppy pen. Born right here in rescue after his mama, Belle Starr, rode in from the urgent list heavy with pups and light on luck, Wyatt came into this world with confidence baked right into his bones. He’s the biggest of his litter, and boy, does he know it. You can see it in the way he struts—head high, tail waggin’, eyes gleamin’ like he’s about to challenge the horizon to a duel. And then there’s his favorite pastime—staring at himself in the mirror. Wyatt’s discovered his reflection, and we’re pretty sure he’s convinced there’s another handsome gunslinger out there lookin’ back at him. He’ll puff up, tilt his head, and give a little wag like, “Howdy, handsome—fancy seein’ you here.” Vanity? Maybe. Confidence? Absolutely. But beneath all that bravado beats the soft heart of a cuddlebug. When the day’s adventures are done and the dust has settled, Wyatt’s perfectly happy to hang up his imaginary spurs and melt right into your side. He’s loyal, affectionate, and happiest when he’s pressed against his person, snorin’ like a satisfied cowboy after a long ride. If you’re lookin’ for a puppy with a personality bigger than the Texas sky, he is for you. Wyatt Earp is the kind of fella who thinks everyone he meets is part of his posse—dogs, kids, tumbleweeds, you name it. He loves dogs, mostly because they make excellent playmates and cuddle buddies. Kids? Oh, he’s all about ‘em. Wyatt considers tiny humans his biggest fans and has no problem hamming it up for an audience. He’ll happily tag along on any adventure—backyard treasure hunts, snack raids, or wild runs through the living room—and he’ll wag that tail like he’s leadin’ a parade the whole time. Now, as for cats—Wyatt hasn’t officially met one yet, but if his track record’s any indication, he’d probably just walk right up, introduce himself, and assume they’re destined to be best friends. He’s the type who’d get bopped on the nose once, shake it off, and say, “Alright, we’ll try again tomorrow.” Give him a week and he’d have the cat convinced to share the sunbeam—or at least tolerate his presence in it. In short, Wyatt’s got that friendly outlaw charm that makes him impossible not to love. He’s the kind of puppy who thinks the world’s his saloon, everyone’s his buddy, and life’s too short not to play with everything that moves (and maybe a few things that don’t). Wyatt Earp might act like the big man on the prairie, but underneath all that swagger is one of the sweetest, most lovable cowpokes this side of the rescue ranch. Sitting at a 5 out of 10 on the energy scale, he’s the perfect blend of playfulness and easygoing charm—enough spirit to keep things lively, but not so much that you’ll need to install a puppy rodeo ring in your living room. He’s playful in that irresistibly goofy way only puppies can be—bounding across the yard, ears floppin’, tail waggin’, absolutely convinced he’s the star of every show. And honestly? He’s not wrong. Wyatt has a natural presence, a bit of cowboy confidence that says, “Yep, I run this here operation.” He knows he’s the biggest pup in the bunch, and he carries himself like a true leader—but the kind who settles disputes with a wag and a nudge rather than a bark. Curious about everything but smart enough to take his time, Wyatt’s the type to watch first and act later. He studies his surroundings like a tiny frontier scout, observin’ every sound and smell before he joins in on the action. He’ll let another pup test out the mud puddle first, thank you very much—but once it’s deemed safe, he’s all in, splashin’ and rollin’ with pure joy. Wyatt Earp may grow up to be a big, strong cowboy someday, but right now he’s just a baby with a curious mind, a brave heart, and a whole lotta love to give. And if you’re lucky enough to call him yours, well… partner, you’re in for one heart-stealin’, tail-waggin’ adventure. ❤️🐾 Now, before you go dreamin’ of ridin’ off into the sunset with Wyatt Earp, picturin’ him curled up at your feet like the perfect gentleman, let’s set the record straight, partner—this little cowboy’s still got some learnin’ to do. Sure, he’s handsome, charming, and has all the makings of a frontier legend, but he’s also six weeks old… which means his new family’s signin’ up for the full Wild West experience of puppyhood. First off, there’s potty training, the great frontier every pup and human must cross. Then there’s socialization, which basically means teachin’ Wyatt that the big ol’ world isn’t somethin’ to be barked at or chewed on. He’ll need to meet new folks, other dogs, maybe even a cat or two, so he grows into the confident, well-mannered cowboy he’s meant to be. A few friendly introductions and some well-placed treats, and he’ll be shakin’ paws and stealin’ hearts all over town. So dust off your boots, grab your sense of humor, and get ready to saddle up for the greatest adventure this side of the prairie—’cause life with Wyatt Earp might get messy at times, but it’ll sure as shootin’ be worth every second. ❤️🐾 Now don’t go hitchin’ up your wagon just yet—this little gunslinger won’t be ready to head home ‘til around the first weekend in November. He’s still busy learnin’ how to be the best boy in the West and perfectin’ his dramatic mirror poses. But that gives you time, partner—time to stock up on treats, puppy-proof the homestead, and mentally prepare for the cutest, funniest, most lovable bandit you’ll ever meet. So if you’re ready to bring home your very own frontier legend, grab that adoption application at https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app faster than a tumbleweed in a windstorm, and we’ll send it along to his foster family. You’ll need to mosey on down to Oklahoma City, OK to pick him up—no home delivery, no lasso mail, and no sneakin’ him through the Pony Express. Once you meet Wyatt Earp, though, you won’t be ridin’ home alone—you’ll be headin’ off into the sunset with your new best friend, a pocketful of puppy kisses, and one very smug little outlaw who’s already claimed your heart. ❤️🐾

Meet Sozu — a 52-pound, 14-month-old Australian Shepherd mix who’s basically the dog version of your favorite comfort dessert. Think warm cinnamon roll with a heart of marshmallow fluff — sweet, soft, and guaranteed to make you smile. Somehow, this lovable goofball found himself on the urgent list at the shelter (which feels a bit like putting a box of cupcakes in the “trash” pile — clearly a mistake). Thankfully, fate had other plans, and now he’s ready to turn your home into his happily ever after. Sozu showed up at his foster home like a polite exchange student trying to figure out the local customs — friendly, curious, and maybe just a little unsure about the language of “dog.” Now he’s a full-fledged member of the fun committee, wrestling, zooming, and occasionally instigating his own rowdy play sessions. If you’ve got a playful dog at home, Sozu’s absolutely down to tag in as their new sparring (and snuggling) partner as long as you give him time to decompress and realize that they are not going to hurt him. Cats? None on the guest list yet, but given his personality, he’d probably treat one like an oddly shaped dog until proven otherwise. Kids? No firsthand experience yet, but he’s got a soft heart and would likely do fine with older, respectful ones who understand that he’s more about hugs than headlocks. When it comes to humans, Sozu’s got the same sweet approach. He greets new people like he’s testing out a new dessert — gentle curiosity first, then full-blown adoration. Men can take him a little longer to warm up to, but once he decides you’re cool, he’s all in — the kind of loyalty that has him glued to your side like a fuzzy Velcro shadow. Sozu is the definition of a happy-go-lucky goofball who thinks life is one big game of fetch… only he’s not entirely sure who’s supposed to be fetching who. At home, Sozu’s a total softie. He’s got the enthusiasm of a baby goat doing popcorn jumps but the soul of a teddy bear. He loves toys, wrestling, chewing, and snuggles — preferably all in the same afternoon. And yes, he chases flies like it’s a full-time job. Watching him leap and snap at them is like witnessing a very determined (and slightly uncoordinated) ninja in action. He’s also a world-class hugger, standing up on his hind legs to wrap his paws around you like he’s afraid you’ll evaporate if he lets go. If you sit down, consider yourself claimed — Sozu has declared you a cuddle object. He’s got that classic goofball charm — sweet, affectionate, and occasionally unaware of his own size. With his curious face and big brown eyes, he could melt butter (or your resolve) in seconds. He’s the type of dog who doesn’t just want to be near his person — he wants to be his person. Whether it’s lounging at home, tagging along to the office, or hopping in the car for another adventure, Sozu is happiest when he’s right by your side. He’s sweet, affectionate, and happiest when he’s right next to his person. He doesn’t care if you live in an apartment or a house with a fenced yard — as long as he gets to be with his human, he’s good. He’s not picky about real estate; he’s picky about love. Sozu’s got his life mostly together — at least more than most of us on a Monday. He’s potty trained. He doesn’t bark much, which is surprising given his Aussie DNA. He saves his voice for special occasions — like when he’s playing, someone’s at the door, or when he needs to remind you that he’s absolutely starving again. Otherwise, he’s a quiet observer, keeping his commentary to himself. Sozu’s a sweet, goofy, lovable dork who just needs a little time to figure out his surroundings — and who he can trust. He came to us a little wary, especially around new dogs and men, and needed a week to realize they were not plotting anything sinister. Now? He’s best friends with everyone, wrestling, cuddling, and soaking up affection like it’s his job. Give him a bit of patience and some understanding, and he’ll reward you with full-body hugs, endless devotion, and a love so loyal it’ll make your friends wish they had a bond like you and Sozu do. If you’re looking for a best friend who greets every day like it’s the best one ever, who will be your copilot in life, and who’s guaranteed to make your home a little fluffier but a lot happier — Sozu’s your guy. So here’s your mission: fill out an adoption application at https://www.pyrpawsandfluffytailsrescue.com/adoption-app so we can send it over to his foster family. Then, get yourself to Norman, OK, where your new best friend is patiently (and not-so-patiently) waiting to smother you with love, loyalty, and maybe a little fur. Trust us — your heart will never be the same again.

I am good with other dogs, cats, and children! I am also house trained and kennel trained!
