PRESS RELEASE: OKC Animal Welfare wants the community to bring shelter pets Home for the Holidays


OKC Animal Welfare sends this information as posted below:


Oklahoma City Animal Welfare invites the community to participate in its Home for the Holidays program, which provides temporary homes for dogs, giving them a much-needed kennel break.

People 18 years and older can “flash” foster a fully adoptable dog home from the OKC Animal Shelter for up to two weeks. At the end of the two weeks, participants can return the dog to the shelter or, better yet, begin the adoption process.

“This program is designed to benefit both pets and people,” Animal Welfare Superintendent Jon Gary said. “It gives dogs a break from the kennel environment and helps them connect with potential adopters.”

All participating dogs are spayed/neutered, microchipped, and up to date on vaccinations and preventatives. Dogs are available on a first-come, first-served basis, depending on availability at the Shelter.

Visit OKC Animal Welfare at 2811 SE 29th St., Tuesday to Saturday, from noon to 5 p.m., to help make a difference in a pet’s life. Home for the Holidays will run until the end of the year. People can bring a shelter pet home multiple times.
