INTAKE

ANIMAL INTAKE

We know how hard it can be to find help for an animal in need—and we want to make that process as easy as possible. Completing the appropriate form below (depending on whether this is a stray or your own pet) gives our team the information we need to determine if and how we can help, without the back-and-forth delays of email or messaging.

Please keep in mind that Okmulgee County Humane Society is a small, mostly volunteer-driven rescue with limited space, time, and resources. Our ability to take in animals depends entirely on available foster homes, current adoption rates, and funding. While we review every request we receive, it may take several days for our team to respond, and unfortunately, we cannot guarantee intake.

Thank you for your patience, understanding, and compassion for the animals—and for the people working hard behind the scenes to help them.

ATTENTION: OKCO is currently on a full intake hold and is unable to accept any new animals at this time.

This temporary pause allows us to focus our limited resources on the animals already in our care. We know this may be disappointing and sincerely wish we could help every animal in need.

For a list of other rescue organizations that may be able to assist, please visit our FAQ & RESOURCES page.
Thank you for your understanding.

Please note that the first form is for those looking to rehome their pet. If you've found a stray animal, please scroll down to form 2.
