Animals need homes in time for the holidays
DEC 17, 2020 - Oklahoma City Animal Welfare is having its most successful year in the shelter’s history. We have set the goal of saving 90% of all the animals that enter the shelter. Through the first 11 months of the year, 88% have been saved.

There are more than 70 animals currently available for adoption, with more becoming available every day. The shelter anticipates that over 100 will be available soon.
Saturday kicks off two annual events for the shelter. The first being its “Hounds for the Holidays” event. During this event, all dogs and puppies are only $30 to adopt.
