Adoptable Pets

Body
THIS HANDSOME boy is Danger and he is about 4 years old. Danger is a heeler/hound mix and he is super sweet. We rescued him from Animal Control where he was surrendered for reasons we do not know. He knows some basic commands and does well with children. He will be an amazing dog for whoever decides to adopt him. For adoption information, contact the Northern Oklahoma Humane Society.

Besides these two health benefits, they also promote hydration, may lower blood sugar, are low in calories and are easy to add to your diet.
