Our mission is to improve the lives of dogs and cats, and their human companions. Our Vision - By 2025, through community engagement, the rate at which dogs and cats in the Tulsa area are abandoned, neglected or unnecessarily euthanized will be reduced. Core Values Animals: We value animals and believe that they deserve love, safety, and humane care. We provide safe, transitional shelter and medical care to animals. Human/Animal Bond: We believe a correlation exists between humane treatment of animals and kind treatment of humans. Animals give unconditional love and acceptance, resulting in improved psychological and physical well-being for both. We make every attempt to facilitate this special bond through placements, community events and programs. Community Education: We believe educating the community on animal issues and proper care is key to improving animal welfare. We take advantage of every opportunity to provide resources, training, and information to the community. Advocacy: We believe animals deserve a strong voice in their defense. Reports of animal issues are investigated and solutions and resources are provided as necessary. Collaboration: We support a culture of mutual respect as we strive towards common goals. Optimizing Impact: In order to serve the greatest number of animals possible, we will adhere to our intake policy. Furthermore, we do not euthanize adoptable animals due to time or space limitations. Stewardship: The community plays a vital role in organizational sustainability through financial support, rescue and adoption efforts. We manage and allocate resources to remain steadfast to our mission, achieve the greatest good, and ensure our future.
