Upon the discovery of a dog stuck in Oklahoma’s Lake Wister Dam, concerned individuals knew immediate action was necessary. It was evident that the only plausible way the dog ended up in the dam was either by swimming upstream or being abandoned by an inconsiderate individual. The latter option seemed more probable.

Madison Reneè shared a clip of a dog in distress and requested aid from the online community. Despite the prompt response from concerned individuals, they faced an obstacle when they discovered that the dam was too deep for them to navigate. Unfortunately, the dog was fighting to stay afloat and was at risk of being swept away by the strong current. Fortunately, a savior was on their way to rescue the poor creature.

Getting into Action
When Aaron Capell, a kind-hearted volunteer firefighter, stumbled upon a post online about a dog stuck in a dam, he knew he had to act fast. Without wasting any time, he rallied fellow firefighters for assistance and formed a team of more than eight rescuers. Equipped with a boat, they set out to save the stranded canine.
To reach the dog, the rescuers tied a rope to Capell’s boat and pushed it deeper into the dam. Capell bravely sat on the boat as it ventured into the water. As the rescue mission progressed, the group appealed to the Army Corps to turn off the dam to minimize the water flow.
After reaching the pup, Capell found that she was initially reluctant to accept help. Nonetheless, the determined rescuers refused to give up and eventually managed to get the dog to safety.

Filled with fear and uneasiness, Capell managed to calm the dog down by talking to her. Gradually, the dog started trusting him and allowed Capell to pet her. With patience and persistence, Capell was able to bring the dog onto the boat. Fortunately, the people on the shore were kind enough to help pull the boat out of the water, bringing the dog to safety. Mike Young, one of the rescuers, took charge of the adorable white dog and brought her to the Poteau Valley Humane Society.

Are you looking for a furry friend to call your own forever? Look no further than Grace, the pup that captured the hearts of many with her rescue video. After receiving numerous adoption applications, Grace was chosen by James and Paula Watson, who recently lost one of their rescue dogs.
Upon meeting Grace, the couple felt an immediate connection with her, and they knew she was meant to be a part of their family. Grace was just as thrilled to meet them, wagging her tail and showering them with love.
Don’t miss out on the chance to give a deserving pup like Grace a forever home.

According to Paula, Grace’s immediate run to James confirmed that their decision to adopt her was right. Paula also mentioned that adopting Grace meant that she had adopted them too. It’s great to know that Grace’s story has a happy ending, but there are still many other animals at Porteau Valley Humane Society that need saving. If you’re looking for a new furry family member, consider adopting a dog in need and giving them a forever home. Remember, adopting a pet can bring joy and love into your life while also making a positive impact on an animal’s life.
