Unwanted animals may be dropped off any day between 8 a.m. and 5:45 p.m.
If you have questions about adopting or giving up pets, call us any day of the week between 8 a.m. and 5:45 p.m. at 405 297-3100.
The Animal Welfare Division is responsible for promoting public health and safety, for temporarily sheltering and providing humane disposition of unwanted or lost animals, and for promoting animal welfare so that pet ownership is a pleasure for owners without becoming a burden to the community.
Although adopted pets are removed from our listings daily, there is still a chance a pet you see here may find a home before you arrive. But there are always plenty more! Come and visit the new shelter and meet all the pets who need a home.
