Paws, Pecans & Partnership: Why Community Means Everything
Paws, Pecans & Partnership: Why Community Means Everything
At Fishy's Friends Rescue, we believe in more than just saving dogs—we believe in saving hope, building community, and showing the PAWtential that happens when we all come together. We are attending an upcoming adoption event in OKC May 3rd and this story is a perfect example of that beautiful unity in action!
This week, we were delighted when a charming small business reached out to us with a heart full of generosity and a simple yet powerful offer: to partner with us and donate a portion of their proceeds back to rescue efforts at an adoption event. These are the moments that remind us how much good exists in the world.
The business? A delightful nut vendor with an even nuttier (and cuter!) story. Meet So Stumped!—a small batch roasted nut company born from the love of family, togetherness, and cinnamon-sugary joy. What started as a recipe shared with family and friends grew into a mission-driven brand committed to delivering comfort, sweetness, and quality in every bite. And yes—the name came from a hilarious brainstorm moment where they literally said, "We might as well call it So Stumped!" as we just can't decide and the perfect nutty name. (And we’re so glad they did.)
What makes this partnership extra special is the heart behind it. Just like us, So Stumped! faced challenges and roadblocks. But they kept pushing forward—one delicious batch at a time. Their journey, much like ours in rescue, is about not giving up even when it’s tough, and that shared determination is what makes this collaboration so meaningful.
By showing up for each other—whether it’s through adopting a dog, buying a bag of pecans, or just cheering us on—we prove that community isn’t a place, it’s a feeling. And local businesses like So Stumped! remind us that rescue work doesn’t happen in a vacuum—it happens when neighbors help neighbors, when hearts align, and when good people say, “How can I help?”
Support a local business. Support Rescue work. You can find both of us May 3rd 2025 at Rock Knoll Animal Hospital 6715 S. Western Ave, OKC from 10am-2pm!
Meet some adoptable dogs. Taste some truly delicious pecans. And most of all—come see what happens when people, pups, and pecans come together for a cause.
Because around here, we don't just believe in second chances—we believe in community-powered miracles.
Think of the PAWtential when we all come together.
