Soulmate Sunday 5/31 – Lost Faces Waiting 💔
These are the stray dogs currently at Animal Welfare. Some just arrived. Some have already been here a while and are on borrowed time.

And for stray dogs here… time is never guaranteed. Space is limited, and when more dogs come in daily than leave, room runs out quickly.

That’s why sharing matters. Their person may be searching right now and not know where to look. Your share could be the reason they make it home.

Midweek Mission: Bring Them Home! 5/27

We've taken fresh photos of the newest lost pups this week at OKC Animal Welfare — because every face deserves to be seen, and every dog deserves a way home. And their time is very limited. 😕

Help us reunite these sweet dogs with their families — your share could be the one that brings a pup home!

This post works with our Soulmate Sunday series, so share both to help give these amazing dogs their chance to get home. ❤️

Look who's home!!!

After everything she’s been through… Daisy made it home.

And then this moment — the second she realized she was back with her people again. There’s nothing like seeing a dog remember where they belong.

This is why reunification matters.
This is why microchips matter.

Welcome home, Daisy and thank you to everyone who helped fund Daisy's journey home 🩷

💙 Matchmaker Monday – Memorial Day Edition 🇺🇸

While many are spending today with family and loved ones… these amazing dogs are still waiting for someone to come for them.

They weren’t reclaimed.
They haven’t been chosen yet.
But they’re still worthy of love, comfort, and a place to call home.

Browse today. Fall in love today.
Be first in line tomorrow when doors open at noon. 💛
Sharing this post can help them get seen and adopted!

Soulmate Sunday – Lost Faces Waiting 5/24 💔
While many of us spend Memorial Day weekend with family, at the lake, or remembering those we’ve lost… don’t forget these dogs still waiting to make it back home.
These are the stray dogs currently at OKC Animal Welfare. Some just arrived. Some have already been here too long.
For stray dogs, time is never guaranteed. Your share could be the reason a family finds their missing dog before it’s too late.

💜 Milkshake is the kind of dog who makes people smile without even trying.

Sweet, gentle, goofy, and full of love… he’s the total package. And somehow, this good boy is still waiting.

We first met Milkshake back in October/November. He was adopted… then heartbreakingly ended up back at the shelter as a skinny stray. He deserves so much more than this cycle. He deserves a real forever home.

The best part? He LOVES everyone he meets — including other dogs. 🐾

🥛 Milkshake A463863 is a 1-year-old, 35-pound Terrier mix.
- Neutered
- Microchipped
- Up to date on vaccinations

The rental car is reserved and the plane ticket home is officially booked — next week, Daisy is going HOME! 🩷✈️

Now we have one final push to help cover the costs to get her there.

She was never supposed to end up here.

Somewhere along the way, this sweet girl was stolen from her family in Oregon and somehow ended up all the way in Oklahoma. But one microchip scan changed everything — and led us back to the people who never stopped loving her.

After all this time, they finally get their girl back.

We have someone making the journey to reunite them, but travel expenses add up fast and we still need help getting her home safely.

If you can donate, every dollar helps bring Daisy one step closer to where she belongs. 🐾

Please put “Crazy Daisy” in the memo 👇🏼👇🏼https://cash.app/$BeKindRescueDogshttps://paypal.me/BeKindRescueDogshttps://venmo.com/BeKindRescueDogs

🚨OKC ANIMAL WELFARE NEEDS YOUR HELP — RIGHT NOW 🚨

The Oklahoma City budget is being finalized RIGHT NOW, and public comments close May 19th.

⬇️ COMMENT Here ⬇️
https://vision.okc.gov/citybudget

If you care about:
- Public safety
- Stray dogs
- Shelter overcrowding
- Dog bites
- Animal neglect
- Responsible city growth
- The success of the new shelter

…this is one of the MOST important ways you can help.

The new shelter building may be larger, but without significantly more staffing and veterinary support, it is being set up to fail.

A shelter cannot function properly without enough:
• Kennel staff
• Veterinary staff
• Animal control officers
• Intake staff
• Cleaning staff
• Adoption staff

And despite the public narrative, the “550 kennel” number being pushed is misleading. That number depends heavily on double-housing dogs in single kennels long term — something that is often stressful and inhumane for many dogs.

This is not simply an “animal lover” issue.
This is a PUBLIC HEALTH AND SAFETY issue.

Stray dogs impact EVERYONE in Oklahoma City:
• Dogs hit by cars
• Dangerous roaming packs
• Dog bites
• Sick and injured animals
• Pregnant dogs giving birth on the streets
• Increased strain on neighborhoods, police, rescues, and emergency responders

Animal Welfare should be treated as an essential city service — right alongside police, fire, sanitation, and other first-response departments.

OKC is the 20th largest city in the United States, yet OKC Animal Welfare currently operates with:
• Around 65 staff members
• A budget of only about $5.6 million
• Nearly 16,000 animals taken in yearly

For comparison:
• Fort Worth operates with about 138 staff and a ~$16 million budget
• Dallas operates with about 200 staff and a ~$21.8 million budget
• San Antonio operates with about 240 staff and a ~$32.3 million budget
• El Paso operates with about 180 staff and a ~$16.2 million budget

Meanwhile, OKC continues taking in massive numbers of animals every year with one of the lowest budgets and staffing levels among major cities.

When there are not enough vets or clinic staff to keep animals altered, medically treated, and moving through the system efficiently, dogs stay in kennels longer. In a shelter already struggling with intake volume, every occupied kennel matters. Same with kennel staff and keeping kennels clean to prevent disease spread.

This is why staffing matters.
This is why veterinary funding matters.
This is why operational funding matters.

Please go leave a respectful, intelligent public comment asking the city to increase funding for:
➡️ Shelter staffing
➡️ Veterinary staffing
➡️ Operational support for the new shelter
➡️ Public safety and animal welfare infrastructure

We only have TODAY and TOMORROW left to make our voices heard.

Please share this post everywhere.
