Our story

Welcome to Hoof, Paw & Order. This has been my dream for as long as I can remember: a place where unwanted animals are safe, loved, and get to pick their own forever homes. Because let's be honest — we don't always know what we need until an animal chooses us and shows us they love us.

We're starting small, right here at home in Buffalo, Oklahoma, where I already share life with my animals. Every sanctuary starts somewhere — this one starts with a house full of fur, feathers, and love, and a name we picked with care: a little wink of order for a whole lot of beautiful chaos.

Follow along as this little dream grows — one fur baby, one feather, one hoof at a time.

The dream we're growing toward

One day: a beautiful barn set up for different animals, on a beautiful farm with different areas visitors can walk through — go look at the different animals, spend time with them, and decide which animal is best for them. The animals choosing their people.

  1. Learn the ropesVisit and volunteer with local rescues to see how feeding, housing, and care work day to day.

  2. Put the mission in writingAlready done — it's the line at the top of this page.

  3. Become a nonprofitState paperwork, then 501(c)(3) status — the key that unlocks donations and grants, when the time is right.

  4. Start tinyAlmost every sanctuary began as one person caring for animals at home. That part is already happening.

The family this dream is being built around — the ones already home.

Dog · Catahoula

Our brindle Catahoula — the big-hearted guardian of the yard, with a coat like dappled sunlight through the trees.

Photo coming soon — Twila's picking her favorites.

Dog · Chiweenie–Whippet mix

Velcro

A chiweenie whippet mix and Twila's baby since puppyhood. The name says it all — she sticks close to her person.

Cat · White

Cloud

Our white cat, soft as her name and quietly sure the whole place runs on her schedule. She shares the house with one more cat companion.

Peppa

A little bantam hen who lives in the house — proof that around here, family comes in every size, feathers very much included.

Ducks · The pond crew

The Four Ducks

Four ducks, splashing and waddling through the day. If you know Twila, you know the duckies hold a special place in her heart.

Chickens · Big & small

The Chicken Flock

Chickens big and small — including a Mille Fleur mama hen who hatched two chicks of her own and brought the whole nursery into the house.

Photo coming soon — Twila's picking her favorites.

Guinea pigs · Trio

The Three Guinea Pigs

Three guinea pigs, wheeking their way through the day — small, round, and completely convinced every rustle is a snack.

Photo coming soon — Twila's picking her favorites.

Forever loved: Emoji

Our bunny · 19 wonderful years

Emoji, our bunny, passed away on November 7, 2026, at 19 years old. Most bunnies live 8 to 12 years — Emoji nearly doubled that, and it didn't happen by accident. Nineteen years means years and years of good food, safety, and being adored every single day.

He didn't just live a long life. He lived a loved one, start to finish — and he'll always be part of this dream.
