Meet the Pups
Annie
Hi there! My name is Annie, and I was born at the Tulsa SPCA because my mom was rescued while she was pregnant with me! I was the last of my family to be adopted so I was getting a little lonely. Thankfully my now adoptive parents discovered me when I was 3 months old and I’m living my best life! The shelter staff named me Maria when I was born but my new family changed my name to Annie they said because my hair is strawberry blond and I have freckles on my nose and belly! I’m 1 ½ years old and I love everything and everyone. I am a wonderful blend of Boxer, American Pit Bull Terrier, Australian Cattle Dog, and Boston Terrier to name a few. I am very patient, smart, and funny! My parents are absolute dog lovers, and all their friends are too so I’ve made so many friends! I love splashing around on the steps of our swimming pool but my most favorite thing to do is chase bunnies and squirrels. I am learning so much in school and I cannot wait to spend time getting to know my OSU family!
Bear
Bear is a 6½ year old Chow Chow who is very unique for his breed. He is laid back, happy, loveable, and very friendly. Bear was adopted from the SPCA by his family in February of 2023. The SPCA rescued him from the streets in Tulsa and helped him recover from many ailments and injuries. Bear is easy going, loves naps, enjoys running around the yard with his siblings, being loved on, and even going to the vet (all the ladies love him there!). He really enjoys squeaker toys and any meat flavored treats. Bear wants to be a part of P3T because he loves attention and helping others feel better. He is looking forward to meeting all the new people at OSU-CHS in Tahlequah, and when visiting Tulsa, who he knows has lots of pets to give!
Buster
Buster is a 2-year-old Shih-Poo who was adopted by his family when he was 5 ½ months old. Buster is laid back and cuddly and loves treats. He enjoys playing ball and chasing the kids at home (in a fun way). His favorite toys are balls and favorite treats are cheese and Beggin Strips. Buster is looking forward to meeting all the new “kids” at OSU-CHS as a P3T Posse member!
Cannoli
Hi! My name is Cannoli and I am a super tiny brindle Dachshund. I was born on September 9, 2013 in Purcell, OK; eight weeks later I moved in with my human mom and dad and I’ve been there ever since! Both of my human parents graduated from OSU so I am a Cowboy through and through- Go Pokes! I have two Dachshund brothers and a Dachshund sister but they aren’t interested in being in Pete’s Pet Posse. My favorite things are sleeping, eating, and making new friends. I loved the Pet Posse training and can’t wait to begin working at the OSU-COM Cherokee Nation campus in Tahlequah! Come by and visit me anytime- I will be in Dr. Jones’ office.
Carrot
Carrot (nicknames- “Rottie, Rotisserie Chicken, and Caraté”)
Carrot is a 1-year-old Mini Goldendoodle. He is playful, cuddly, and loves meeting
new people and dogs. Adopted in July 2024, Carrot enjoys snuggling between his parents,
playing fetch, going on walks and running around my backyard, chewing on toys- especially
bouncy balls, mini footballs, and tennis balls. Carrot thinks the best treats are
string cheese and peanut butter. He’s excited to meet new humans and take naps under
her mom’s desk at OSU.
Cookie
Cookie is a 7-year-old Maltese. She is a friendly, cuddly, and alert pup who joined her family in 2019. She loves sitting on laps, going for walks, greeting people from the patio, and is always ready to chase a squirrel or bunny. She enjoys bully sticks to chew on and Ray Ray’s Roasters chicken flavored treats. Cookie is eager to make people smile and wag her fluffy tail as she joins her mom at the office.
Cosmo
Cosmo is a 2-year-old Cockapoo who thinks everyone is his best friend. He is very cuddly and has a bit of a sock stealing problem according to his family. Some of his favorite activities are meeting new people, going on walks, enjoying the breeze from the window on car rides, and being a “good boy”. Cosmo enjoys food, cheese, and squeaky soft toys (and socks). He is looking forward to working with the folks at OSU-CHS, because he knows that all these new “best friends" will scratch his belly!
Delilah
Hi there, my name is Delilah Baby Donut (what can I say, my three human siblings named me). You can call me Dede or Lilah for short.
I'm almost 2 years old, and my family adopted me from the Humane Society of Tulsa when I was just 8 weeks old. The rescue guessed I was a "chihuahua terrier mix" but we don't really know for sure. I looked like a baby chihuahua when I was little but as I grew my legs just got longer and longer!
Whatever breed mix I am, I can tell you I am 100% sassy. I've been told I sometimes act more like a cat than a dog with my independent personality. I can be a little anxious and shy at first, but I love meeting people and exploring new places. My favorite hobbies are chasing squirrels, napping under soft blankets and going on car rides with my people. I also love my two dog brothers, and I often get the zoomies and chase them all around the house and yard.
I'm excited to be a part of the Cowboys family! I can't wait to spend time at OSU-Tulsa and take naps in my mom's office in North Hall. Come see me; I'll love you forever if you give me a treat!
Draco
My name is Draco Sloan and I am a dachshund. I was born in 2015. My mom calls me Golden Boy. I don’t mind my dad very well, so he just calls me Draco. Even though my name makes it seem like I belong in Slytherin House, I’m really more of a Hufflepuff because of my loyalty. Is it ironic that my favorite snack is cut-up hot dogs?
What’s my story? Mom and dad adopted me when I was three from Lowrider Dachshund Rescue. Mom had dragged dad to an adoption event hosted by the rescue. Before entering, dad told mom "we absolutely are not getting another dog." My dad saw me sitting all by myself, and I had my best “sad face” on that day. Mom and dad called the rescue about a meeting date and I was adopted that very day!
I have two weenie dog sisters, but they are old and don’t like to play with me. I spend my time watching and chasing birds and squirrels. I love to ride in the car, and mom and dad proudly display my nose art on the windows of their cars.
I passed my Canine Good Citizen test in December 2022, and completed my Alliance of Therapy Dogs test in January 2023. My mom’s name is “Draco’s Mom” and she teaches at OSU-CHS. I’m so excited to be part of Pete’s Pet Posse and I hope I can help you have the best day ever.
Ellie
Ellie, a.k.a. “Ellie Bug”, “Ellie Mae", “Eleanor", or “Love Bug” is a 6-year-old miniature Australian Shepherd who joined her family in 2018 while her hu-mom was a junior at Baylor University. She says Ellie is her soul dog. Ellie can be laid back and cuddly, hyper with the zoomies, and is always sweet (with a little splash of sass). She loves going for walks at The Gathering Place, going on boat and car rides, and watching for critters. She also enjoys listening to Taylor Swift with her mom. Ellie's favorite snacks are Goldfish, popcorn, and anything peanut butter flavored. She enjoys meeting new people and is excited to be a P3T Posse member!
Ember
Ember is a 4 year and 9 months old half American, Half English Cream Golden Retriever. She loves belly rubs, head-pats, or simply being near people. She thrives on affection and connection! Ember joined her family at just 10 weeks old as a special gift from a family friend in exchange for a horse. Ember’s family includes her Labrador Retriever sibling, Ash, and her playful Corgi brother, Phoenix. She enjoys sunbathing, playing with her rubber pig and tug ropes, and being “the welcoming committee”. Ember is excited about her new role in Pete’s Pet Posse! She can’t wait to help OSU-COM students unwind and recharge during their studies and exams, just like her parents did when they were in medical school.
Guillermo
Guillermo De La Plops Bledsoe (nicknames- “Mo, Mo-Mo, or Short Stack”)
Guillermo is a 1 ½ year old French Bulldog, who joined his family at 3 months old.
He is a spotlight-loving pup who enjoys sleeping, herding his basketball, and being
by his mom’s side. He loves food and will ALMOST listen to you for a treat. He prefers
to play with balls over most other toys and enjoys a good game of fetch. He is the
fastest waddle runner in this part of Oklahoma! Guillermo is ready for “ALL THE PETS”
and attention as part of the Posse.
Hank
Osiyo (hello) My name is Hank the Cowdog but sometimes my mom calls me “Hankers.” I’m the third canine in the family with Rebel and Mack and I have two feline siblings, Rumchata and Oogie Boogie. My mom saw my fuzzy puppy head perking up in the Atwoods parking lot in December 2021 and couldn’t resist! We all live in Tahlequah on the Cherokee Nation Reservation.
I am a social butterfly who loves to meet everyone and have a good play, even to Rebel’s chagrin. I haven’t quite got fetch down but keep away is one of my favorite games. Any and all treats are accepted and welcomed. I love being goofy to make my mom laugh with my floppy ears. If there is a body of water, you will probably find me in it for a good dip and biting the water.
My mom taught me how to be a good “Poke” and I can’t wait to get all the pets from my fellow cowfolks!
I can be found on the third floor of the Cherokee Nation campus with my mom in Faculty Hall.
Harley
Hello! My name is Harley Quinn, but all my friends call me Harley. I am the best friend you haven’t met yet. I am a red merle Australian Shepard and my parents got me at 12-weeks old in March of 2016. I started my young life living in Stillwater while my parents went to OSU. I have very fond puppy memories of playing catch on Library Lawn.
I love spending time outside chasing my ball, sunbathing as my parents’ work in the garden, and sticking my head out the window while riding in the car. When I am not outside, I enjoy long naps on the couch and sometimes my parents’ bed. My parents say I’ve yet to meet a pillow that I don’t like. I also enjoy playing with my toys and cuddling with my mom. My favorite holiday is New Year’s Day because it’s my birthday and I love celebrating with all my family and friends.
I love belly rubs and if you see me on campus, I might roll over and ask you to scratch my belly. I’m a true foodie and enjoy eating most everything, though snacks are my favorite. I love to be around people and make them smile. I am so excited to be able to work at CHS and make new friends.
Hoss
Hoss is a 2-year-old Labrador or “Labradork”, as he is affectionately known to friends and family. He was adopted by his family from a lab rescue on September 1st, 2023.

Hoss is looking forward to “attending college” at OSU-CHS and meeting all of the new friends through Pete’s Pet Posse!

Obi-Wan
My name is Obi Wan, but you can call me Obi. According to DNA tests, I am Chihuahua, Miniature Pinscher, Lhasa Apso, and 37% Jedi. Born in September 2017, I was adopted at just 4 months old from a cat rescue that saved me from a hoarder. It’s no surprise that someone couldn’t give this up!
I am all scruff with big brown eyes and some killer dance moves. I love treats, making new friends, tap dancing, car rides, hiking, your sandals, running in circles with a carrot, and howling/singing with you if you hit the pitch just right. I also love to hang out and learn new things like Nosework, Rally, and Obedience at Tulsa Dog Training Club. Mom thinks I can bring home ribbons. I’m just trying to Jedi mind-trick her out of some cookies (Psst…It’s working).
When I am not out on the town or learning new things, you can find me in the Graduate Medical Education wing of the OSU Medical Center. I am very excited to hang out with the residents there and bring them some happiness during their 12-hour shifts. I am ready for my new position as Obi Wan, DO – Resident Wellness Pawsician!

She also enjoys traveling to visit family, flying to places like San Diego and Milwaukee with her favorite toy- a stuffed Pineapple. Parker is excited for new adventures and making new friends in Pete’s Pet Posse.
Ruffy
Howdy, Partner! I was named Walter Ruffington, but all my new friends at OSU CHS can call me Ruffy! I’m a 2-year-old herding/retriever mix, but there’s no doubt I’m 100% Good Boy! I mean, Mom tells me so ALL the time. My parents found me at their ranch in Webbers Falls at 12 weeks old in January 2021. Those big ‘ol cows were scary, but Dad scooped me up, told Mom he wanted me, and named me Ruffy. How could she say no?!
Since being rescued, I’ve been adventuring! I love to lead the way on any hiking trail I can go on. Mom and Dad take lots of breaks, but I always stay close and encourage them to hurry up. I also love to help steer our canoe down the Illinois River on the hottest summer days. My favorite time is when I dry off in the truck going down the highway, cool wind in my fur! When I’m not out and about, I love to watch nature shows on TV and put the household on alert when my Amazon Prime friends ring the doorbell to deliver toys and treats to me.
All my family and friends said I have such a good temperament that I should put my skills to good use. I was so happy when Mom told me I was going to be a Cowboy! I can’t wait to make the Research Office my home base and have everyone share their snacks with me. Hint: My favorite snack is your Pop-tart crusts; Cherry or Brown Sugar Cinnamon, please. I made Mom work extra hard in preparing me for my Canine Good Citizen certification. She thought it would be impawsible, but I encouraged her to dream as big as the sky!
Scout
Scout is a 3-year-old Border Collie who is a mix of hyper and laid back. She loves to chase squirrels in the backyard, go for a walk, take a nap, or even go to bed by 8:30! Adopted by her family in the Spring of 2024, she loves to play with her canine and human siblings. Scout loves to chew bones and horns, and to carry around her soft squeaky toys. She likes to hide her toys around the house, so her family finds piles of them in new places. Scout is looking forward to saying hello to all the new friends as a member of Pete’s Pet Posse.
Sophie
Sophie is a happy 5 year old Shepard/lab mix that is always on the go. She was adopted from an animal shelter in January of 2017 and hasn’t looked back.

She is a Daddy’s girl and enjoys accompanying him to the office whenever she has the chance. At home, she’s never too far
from her stuffed animals and carries them around the house and yard. She is typically very quiet, like her mom, but isn’t afraid to use her voice if needed. She always lets us know when Amazon arrives and inspects every package for dog cookies and toys. Sophie enjoys going to school so much and is excited to spend more time with students, faculty, and staff. She plans to use this opportunity to get to know and help others at the OSU CHS campus.

Inside she is laid back but is very active when she is outside, especially when there are birds or squirrels. Tux joined her family in March of 2023 and loves to do whatever her family is doing. She loves going on drives to stick her head out the window and going to Lowes because the employees often carry treats. Tux’s favorite toy is Jolly Balls, and her favorite treat is rotisserie chicken. She looks forward to going to work with mom and getting to greet everyone as Pete’s Pet Posse member!
