“Killing puppies and kittens is a tragedy that is especially hard on the staff. It is a tragedy that any city can and should avoid.”
The Oklahoma Spay Network has reviewed the results of the enactment and
enforcement of spay/neuter ordinances in Oklahoma cities and towns.
While the impact varies, Tulsa, Lawton and Claremore have had
significant success in reducing shelter intakes through these
ordinances. Euthanasia rates have also decreased in all three cities. Read full article
Testimonials
Spaying and neutering your pet is one of the most important decisions you can
make for your pet and for making your pet into a good “animal neighbor.” Most dog bites
involve animals that are not spayed or neutered, and most “problem behavior,” including
roaming and fighting in male pets, is directly related to intact (unneutered) animals.
Responsible pet care is a year round task. In the summer your pet needs access to shade and shelter from rain, while in the winter a dry doghouse is important.
Heartworm prevention is necessary throughout the year.
Fleas and ticks are common in Oklahoma. You can get good flea and tick products at a feed store or a veterinarian. Sevin TM dust in your pets bedding will kill fleas and ticks. Tick borne diseases can be fatal to dogs and are dangerous to people as well.
Sterilization, vaccination and socialization are part of responsible pet care.
