OKC Animal Welfare is offering fee-waived adoptions for dogs and cats until the severe overcrowding at the shelter is eased.
The shelter is caring for more than 450 dogs, putting the building at 155% capacity. Animal Welfare is also housing more than 220 cats, which is 119% capacity.
“We need your help,” said Animal Welfare Superintendent Jon Gary. “These animals deserve a permanent, loving home. And with adoption fees waived, this is an easy way to add a pet to your family.”
All adoptable dogs and cats at OKC Animal Welfare are up-to-date on vaccinations, microchipped, treated for worms and spayed or neutered.
OKC Animal Welfare, 2811 SE 29th Street, is open for adoptions from noon to 5:30 p.m. every day but holidays. For more information, visit okc.gov/animalwelfare or call (405) 297-3100.
