Emergency Animal Rescue & Adoption Services in Tulsa
Founded in 1961, we are Tulsa's only dedicated animal welfare organization specializing in rescuing sick, injured, and abused stray dogs and cats. Our mission focuses on immediate intervention for animals without owners, operating 24/7 to provide critical care and facilitate adoptions into loving homes. Through community partnerships and our thrift store operations, we've maintained continuous service to Tulsa and surrounding areas for over six decades. Our adoption process emphasizes long-term compatibility through application reviews, reference checks, and trial periods. We maintain transparent operations with 100% tax-deductible donations directly funding animal care, medical treatments, and shelter operations.While not a veterinary clinic, we collaborate with local providers to ensure rescued animals receive necessary medical attention. Our foster-based model prioritizes individualized care, requiring community support through volunteering, donations, and adoption. The thrift store serves dual purposes: generating operational funds while offering community members sustainable shopping options. We maintain strict ethical standards in animal handling, focusing exclusively on stray rescue rather than owner surrenders. Regular community engagement through adoption events and educational programs reinforces our commitment to animal welfare advocacy.

You couldn't ask for a more caring and compassionate rescue. Even if you can't adopt, you should donate.

Went in Wednesday for the first time at new store. I was excited to see how it was improved. Well I was disappointed by far. Walk in and you're hit with a display that was to awkward to get around with people leaving. I couldn't make rhyme or reason what was wear except the men's pants. As I circled to the back an employee kept raising her voice to another employee about how she had to have a Dr. note to come back, over and over.
I don't think that kind of interaction with your employees should be done in 'public'. Not classy. I don't know if it is, but it feels smaller, darker, and less organized. The old store was laid out in a way you could wander around for quite awhile. I was in and out in less that 5 min this time. I don't think I'll make any special trip to that part of town anytime soon. AND no one even said hello or goodbye, need happier people there.
