Giving Homeless Pets the Happy Endings They Deserve
Let’s be honest—pets make our lives better. We think it’s only fair to return the favor.
At Okmulgee County Humane Society or OKCO (pronounced OH-CO), we rescue animals from the Okmulgee Animal Shelter who are out of time and out of options.

We can’t undo their past, but with your help, we can give them a future full of belly rubs, couch naps, and second chances.

Adoptions, fosters, rescue pulls, and transports are saving lives every day—but we can’t do it alone. Join us, and help turn “unwanted” into “someone’s best friend.” Together, we can make Okmulgee (and all of Oklahoma) a safer, happier place for dogs and cats who deserve better.

Adopt a Pet. Change a Life. (Theirs and Yours.)

Thinking about adding a little extra joy (and tail wagging) to your life? Our once-homeless dogs and cats are more than ready to meet you. And they’ve got a whole lot of love to give.

When you adopt through OKCO Humane Society, you’re not just finding your next best friend—you’re also making room for another pet in need. Every adoption helps us rescue more animals from the Okmulgee Animal Shelter and beyond and get them into loving foster homes instead of facing euthanasia.

No pressure… but someone here has been practicing their puppy eyes just for you.

A Soft Place to Land Starts with You.
Currently, OKCO Humane Society is 100% foster-based—which means every dog and cat we save depends on someone like you opening their home (and heart) for a little while.

When animals run out of time at the Okmulgee Animal Shelter, we can only step in if we have a foster home ready to catch them. No foster? No rescue. It’s that simple—and that powerful.

Fostering is completely free. We provide the food, supplies, and vet care—you provide the safe place, the love, and maybe a cozy couch or two. Whether it’s for a few days or a few weeks, fostering truly saves lives.

Think you can be someone’s second chance? We’d love to have you on our team.

Affordable Spay & Neuter Saves Lives.
Want to help reduce the number of homeless animals in Oklahoma?
It starts with a simple snip.

Spaying and neutering pets isn’t just responsible—it’s lifesaving. One unspayed cat and her kittens can lead to hundreds of thousands of homeless cats in just a few years. Dogs? Same story. Big numbers, big impact.

OKCO Humane Society offers low-cost spay and neuter services for income-qualified pet owners—ranging from $85-$95 for dogs, $60-$70 for cats, and a rabies vaccine for less than $20. We’re here to help our community care for their pets and be part of the solution.
