Animal Palooza 2008 was a sucess! The Broken Arrow Animal Shelter adopted out 16 dogs, two cats and raised over $400 to benefit the animals in our care. We plan on having two major adoption events in 2009, one in spring and another Animal Palooza in the fall. Special thanks to everyone who volunteered and of course thank you to all the rescues that pull animals from our shelter.
We would like to spread the word about the 2008 Bond Issue. We are encouraging all Broken Arrow residents to vote yes on December 9th, 2008. Please stop by the shelter to pick up flyers to help us spread the word.
Who We Are
We are a municipal run shelter. We are a division of the Police Department. WE ARE NOT NO-KILL. Most of our animals are picked up running the streets, getting into trash, causing accidents, viciously charging people, etc. Some are turned in to the shelter because their owner's either no longer want them or they simply can't care for them anymore. Although we are a rather small shelter, we do our best in saving as many animals as possible. We do work with several rescue groups that pull adoptable animals that were not adopted in the allotted time frame in which we hold them. Strays are held for 5 working days to give the owner a chance to reclaim them. After that, we reserve the right to place them up for adoption, allow them to go to a rescue, or euthanize them.Owner surrenders are available immediately for adoption, rescue, or euthanization. Our animals are given the best possible chance to get seen, adopted or reclaimed. In addition to posting on PetFinder, we also post in the local newspaper (The Broken Arrow Ledger) and on the City's website at www.brokenarrowok.gov .
Adopting a friend
Our adoption fee is $50.00, which is totally refundable upon proof of sterilization. All shots and sterilizations are the responsibility of the new owner. If the animal is already sterilized, and we are aware of it, there is no charge for adoption.
