Adoptable Pets in Oklahoma
Ahimsa Rescue Foundation is a no-kill shelter, boasting one of the highest placement rates in the country, ninety percent.

Ahimsa Rescue Foundation envisions a world in which people meet the physical and emotional needs of domestic animals and change their interaction with animals evolving from exploitation and harm to respect and compassion.

Our Mission is to place needy animals in responsible homes, provide humane education, and encourage spaying and neutering because there are not enough homes.

Teresa Logue Morton, Founder, Ahimsa Rescue Foundation

1. Feral Cat TNR Program

Many communities are embracing Trap, Neuter, Release programs (TNR) to improve animal welfare, reduce death rates, and meet obligations to public welfare.

2. High-Volume, Low-Cost Spay/Neuter

Low cost, high volume spay/neuter will quickly lead to fewer animals entering the shelter system, allowing more resources to be allocated toward saving lives.

3. Rescue Groups

An adoption or transfer to a rescue group frees up scarce cage and kennel space, reduces expenses for feeding, cleaning, killing, and improves a community's rate of lifesaving. In an environment of millions of dogs and cats killed in shelters annually, rare is the circumstance in which a rescue group should be denied an animal.

4. Foster Care

Volunteer foster care is crucial to No Kill. Without it, saving lives is compromised. It is a low cost, and often no cost, way of increasing a shelter's capacity, improving public relations, increasing a shelter's public image, rehabilitating sick and injured or behaviorally challenged animals, and saving lives.

5. Comprehensive Adoption Programs

Adoptions are vital to an agency's lifesaving mission. The quantity and quality of shelter adoptions is in shelter management's hands, making lifesaving a direct function of shelter policies and practice. In fact, studies show people get their animals from shelters only 20% of the time. If shelters better promoted their animals and had adoption programs responsive to the needs of the community, including public access hours for working people, offsite adoptions, adoption incentives, and effective marketing, they could increase the number of homes available and replace killing with adoptions. Contrary to conventional wisdom, shelters can adopt their way out of killing.

6. Pet Retention

While some of the reasons animals are surrendered to shelters are unavoidable, others can be prevented-but only if shelters are willing to work with people to help them solve their problems. Saving animals requires communities to develop innovative strategies for keeping people and their companion animals together. And the more a community sees its shelters as a place to turn for advice and assistance, the easier this job will be.

7. Medical and Behavior Programs

In order to meet its commitment to a lifesaving guarantee for all savable animals, shelters need to keep animals happy and healthy and keep animals moving through the system. To do this, shelters must put in place comprehensive vaccination, handling, cleaning, socialization, and care policies before animals get sick and rehabilitative efforts for those who come in sick, injured, unweaned, or traumatized.

8. Public Relations/Community Involvement

Increasing adoptions, maximizing donations, recruiting volunteers and partnering with community agencies comes down to one thing: increasing the shelter's exposure. And that means consistent marketing and public relations. Public relations and marketing are the foundation of all a shelter's activities and their success. To do all these things well, the shelter must be in the public eye.

9. Volunteers

Volunteers are a dedicated "army of compassion" and the backbone of a successful No Kill effort. There is never enough staff, never enough dollars to hire more staff, and always more needs than paid human resources. That is where volunteers come in and make the difference between success and failure and, for the animals, life and death.

10. Proactive Redemptions

One of the most overlooked areas for reducing killing in animal control shelters are lost animal reclaims. Sadly, besides having pet owners fill out a lost pet report, very little effort is made in this area of shelter operations. This is unfortunate because doing so-primarily shifting from passive to a more proactive approach-has proven to have a significant impact on lifesaving and allow shelters to return a large percentage of lost animals to their families.

11. A Compassionate Director

The final element of the No Kill equation is the most important of all, without which all other elements are thwarted-a hard working, compassionate animal control or shelter director not content to regurgitate tired cliches or hide behind the myth of "too many animals, not enough homes." Unfortunately, this one is also oftentimes the hardest one to demand and find.

I have noticed a small black cat living outside my apartment.It's a stray and it was starving until I got close enough to put A bowl of food out. I can't bring it in cause it won't come close enough. I made a little cat house out of a box with blankets and a heavy object to keep it from blowing away but it still just a box and I don't even know if It will use it. I love In Roland Ok at Garden Walk Apartments. If anyone knows who it belongs to my number is4798836022. I am actively trying to get help for it at this point it's so cold.

I have 5 dogs that I have rescued on the highway I live on over the past 2 years. A momma dog and a tiny puppy are the most recent and they were soaking wet I'm assuming from being thrown in the creek by where I found them. Another dog I found 2 months ago with a skin problem that I've been treating he is a big dog and super friendly I found him at the lake by my house and the other 2 I have had for about 2 years they are small dogs 1 male and 1 female I found them at the lake as well. Couldn't stand leaving them to get ran over or starving please help if you can.

Hi. I have an adult, spayed, female cat. She is extremely shy and I just can't keep her anymore. She will not stop peeing on my carpet. She's very wary of the other cats as well. I just don't know what to do with her. She's beautiful and affectionate, and loves being groomed. Do you have a place for her, or know someone who does?
