Woof! Meow! One thing before you go…
Do you need to find a loving home for your pet?
Shelters are often inundated with pet surrenders, and do not want to provide a simple outlet that takes away the obligation of responsible pet ownership. Therefore, they would prefer that people try hard to find a solution before resorting to surrendering their pet to a shelter. If you must find a new home for a pet, please try posting to our adoption portal before placing the burden on the shelter. Direct adoptions work well and allow everyone to share in the accountability of their community!

The Northern Oklahoma Humane Society was founded in 1975. We work in close partnership with the Ponca City Animal Shelter and other area shelters. Our primary focus is to eliminate the needless euthanasia of healthy, adoptable animals in Northern Oklahoma.
Mission Statement
Connecting animals in need with people who care.
Northern Oklahoma Humane Society is a 501(c)3 organization that is funded solely by donations, grants, and bequests. It receives no government funding or tax dollars.
History
The Ponca City Humane Society was formed in 1958, although its roots go back even further. For years Neva Belle Harrod operated as a one-woman humane society caring for strays or finding others to care for them. Judy Elliott took over from Miss Harrod and with her husband, Ellis, formed the Ponca City Humane Society in 1958. The Society was incorporated as a non-profit Oklahoma corporation in 1975. In 1986 a Board of Directors was formed with Larry Hughes as the first President of the society and Charles Greenwood Vice President and Anne Denton as Executive Director.
After a successful local fundraising drive, an animal shelter was completed at 900 West Prospect in Ponca City, Oklahoma, in June 1992. Then in 2019 Charles son Chuck Greenwood oversaw a 1.6-million-dollar remodel and upgrade to the facility, and the name changed to the Northern Oklahoma Humane Society in 2020.

No-kill shelters do wonderful work, but as a result, are often inundated with pet surrenders. In the unfortunate scenario that you have to find a new home for your pet, please read through the rehoming solution and articles on this page before contacting the shelter.
