About OK Humane
Is OK Humane a local branch of the ASPCA or Humane Society of the United States?
Many animal rescue organizations have “Humane Society” or “SPCA”(society for the prevention of cruelty to animals) in their names. But did you know that these organizations are not affiliated with, nor are they a “branch” of the Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) or the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA)?

Can I bring my pet in to get fixed?
Getting your pet fixed (also called Spaying or Neutering) is a great decision! We have a low-cost clinic open to the public, located at 5835 S Pennsylvania, OKC, OK 73119 in Oklahoma City. Prices range from $30 to $90 depending on the size, age and condition of your pet. The clinic has many programs available to pet owners depending on where you live and the type of animal you have, so please call us and let’s see how we can help you! Call us at 405-947-7729 or email us at clinic@okhumane.org for more information.
Can I bring my pet in to the Oklahoma Humane Society for annual vaccinations?
We currently offer Vaccination Visits if your pet is already spayed or neutered. While we are able to provide the yearly vaccinations and brief examination we are not able to diagnosis or treat any illness; if our licensed veterinarian notices anything that needs further examination we will refer to a full-service veterinarian in the metro. Please call our OK Humane Place Clinic at 405-947-7729 for an appointment!

Surrendering Your Pet
OK Humane is a foster-based rescue with no sheltering facilities, so an animal’s acceptance into our program is reliant on an available foster home. Fill out the Re-Home Your Pet Form to request that OK Humane take your pet.
If you are looking to surrender your pet immediately, please seek out your municipal animal shelter.
Reporting Animal Abuse, Neglect or Hoarding
OK Humane is a rescue, and does not have the jurisdiction to intervene on hoarding/abuse/neglect cases. Your municipal animal shelter is the organization that employs Animal Welfare Officers with the authority to follow up on such cases. If you are within Oklahoma City Limits, the OKC Animal Welfare dispatch number is 405-297-2255.
Lost & Found Pets
OK Humane scans all incoming animals for microchips. The owner will be called immediately if an animal is chipped. If your pet is not chipped, but you have provided a description or photo of your pet, your email will be forwarded to our intake team. They will be in touch if they see an animal that matches your description.
If you have found a dog or cat, we encourage you to take them to your local shelter. Shelters are the first place people will look for their lost pets. Shelters will hold an animal for several days before making them available for adoption. This gives the owner plenty of time to come forward and claim their pet. OK Humane is a foster-based rescue and does not have sheltering facilities.
