Marabelle (Ellie)

Hello everyone. My family adopted Marabelle, Now Ellie! I was just doing an update on her and how she is doing. After we brought her home she instantly fit right in. She truly has been a blessing to our family. She hangs out with me all day and when she is feeling up to it she runs around with the kids in our yard. She can get pretty spunky when she is in the mood to play. She literally goes everywhere she can with us. She hates to be alone but thats ok because she rarely ever is. We couldn’t thank God enough that we have her in our life. She is our big teddy bear! :) -Sarah E.

Norma Jean

Norma Jean Hi! I wanted to let you all know how Zoey (aka Norman Jean) is doing. She is such a wonderful dog!! She has settled in very nicely in my home. She and Bandit get along well, and he has shared many things that were formerly “his” – “his” bed, couch, and even toys!! I am very happy it has worked out so well, since Bandit was an only dog for 6 years. I have started taking her to doggy daycare, too, and she is thriving there, too- she is coming out of her shell, and it’s just great. Thank you so much for the 48 hour adoption event. Who knew volunteering would lead to adopting another dog?! Deb M.

Sir Walter Raleigh

I adopted Shane, now Sir Walter Raleigh (Walt for short) in December 2011. He is such a snuggler and loves everyone he meets (except cats, although I think it’s just a front). He has really made a difference in my life. The last picture is right after I caught him in the trash can…he almost looks like he didn’t mean to do it. :)

LuLu

I fell in love with LuLu the first time I saw her at the Adoption Center. I would go visit her as much as I could until I was able to adopt her. I finally adopted her on December 10th, and she is doing so great! She loves to chase shadows on the wall and play with her feather toys. She is incredibly sweet and I'm so happy I got her. =D - Jasmine

Sabrina

Thanks for introducing us to Sabrina (the black kitty) we had adopted from ya guys right before Christmas! She is a great companion for myself & my other kitty to stay young! Sabrina is here playing at Princess's back paws to get her attention. As you can see, she doesn't seem to care any more. Thanks again! ? - Amanda

Shiloh

We adopted Serena #1958 in June or July 2009. Her caretaker, my 6 yr old daughter, decided she did not look like a Serena and changed her name to Shiloh. I must say Shiloh is the goddess of our home. She is one spoiled cat. My daughter has Shiloh trained that when she taps her chest it is okay for Shiloh to come and sleep on her chest. Shiloh follows her everywhere. Shiloh is very healthy and we love having her. We do have a dog and when we are around Shiloh acts like she doesn't like our dog, although, I have caught Shiloh tease and play with our dog when she doesn't know we are in house. So, deep down inside I know she likes our dog. She reminds of Garfield and Odie. I have attached some pics of Shiloh sleeping with her girl. I'm not sure if Shiloh is hugging my daughter or tiring to tell her to stop snoring in these pictures. What do you think? Thank you so much for everything you guys do. -Liz A.

Jackson & Lindsay

Here are Jackson and Lindsay after a morning of play. It’s only been a few days, so most of the other 5 cats are not quite won over, but the “bully” of my group is in love with them. We love them all and wish we could save more of them!! Lisa W.

Molly

Thank you for emailing me to check on Molly. She is doing very well and we don’t have any problems with her. :)

Hemi & Twitch

Both Hemi (orange) and Twitch (black and white) were adopted from OK Humane, though not at the same time. They are now the best of friends and are always together. Hemi is so brave and talkative. He has to follow people into the bathroom and will sit by the bathroom door if you don’t let him in. Twitch is more cautious. He’s very jumpy but he trusts Hemi. If Hemi thinks something is safe, Twitch will follow. We love these two fur balls so much and couldn’t be without them! Love, Chris & Tisha S.

ZuZu

Sonic (now renamed ZuZu after one of the daughters in Jimmy Stewart’s “It’s a Wonderful Life”) is doing great. She has one dog sister and three cat sisters that she is driving insane with her kitten antics! It has been many years since we adopted such a young one and it is easy to forget how unbelievably cute they can be! Thanks, Diane M.

Sally

Here’s a photo of Sally relaxing, she has settled in well with my other cat. You can just tell when a cat is right for you. You did a wonderful job organizing “Midnight Woofness,” I saw the final numbers I was overjoyed. My other cat has accepted Sally as though he has known her forever. Thanks again, Tiffany B.

Butter

Thanks for a perfect cat – he is the best ever! Butter is funny, smart, loving and dangerous. Thanks for letting him come into our life! Melanie M.

Marcy

Marcy has adjusted well to our home. She is VERY active and ornery (as most puppies are) but also very loving and we have come to realize, recently also very protective! Jackson, our son, loves his dog very much and doesn’t like to be without her. In fact, the first time we boarded her at the vet, Jackson had to come with me to drop her off and make sure she would be alright. When we picked her up, they gave us a “playtime picture” of her which he promptly hung on the refrigerator when we got home. Her favorite place to sleep is under our bed… it has sort of become her little cave and where she takes all of the sticks, rocks, paper etc. she can get a hold of to chew on. She has also just recently become very busy in the backyard chasing the black birds off of our trees so she is “on guard” very much this Spring. Mickie L.

Lucy

Adopting Lucy was the best decision I've ever made. She’s playful, beautiful, and VERY cuddly! My other cat, Camille, doesn’t tolerate other cats easily, but she and Lucy are pals. She never fails to put a smile on my face! She sleeps with me every night, and is always on my lap or beside me on the couch if I’m sitting down. She LOVES drinking out of the bathroom faucet and playing on her cat tree with her sister Camille. Thank you for helping me meet my best friend! Kat H.

Ellie

Hi there… We adopted Smudge about a month ago and renamed her Ellie. We were worried our existing cat Bean would be unhappy with a new cat, but it has worked wonderfully! Ellie and Bean love each other, and Ellie really loves our two basset hounds also. We are having so much fun with her and we are so thankful we found her at your adoption center. Thanks for all you do, Amanda L.

Bo

I adopted this kitty at Petsmart on 05/27/10. His number was #4521 and his name is now “Bo.” I just thought you might like to see how he is doing. You can tell he is a male because he took over the remote. We really love him and her gets along great with his two older “brothers”! Thanks you for a great pet! Kathy K.

Zoey

Zoey is doing wonderful. She is growing up a storm. She and our other pup that we adopted from Great Plains Mastiff in Edmond love each other so much. Cricket is about 6 weeks older than Zoey. Thanks for keeping in touch with us. Lorida

Barkley

I adopted Barkley earlier this year at the “Puppy Sale” shortly after my 8-year old Great Pyrenees mix, Samantha, passed away. While it’s been a bit of an adjustment having a puppy in the house once again, it’s also been lots of fun! Barkley is sweet, energetic and sometimes mischievous. She’s even bonded with our 14 year old lab, Millie. Her absolute favorite thing to do is get whatever ball/toy our boys are playing with in the backyard and challenge them to a game of “keep away”. She never gets tired of having little people chase her around in pursuit of their objects. Thanks so much for all you do for the animals in our community and for bringing Barkley into our lives. Riley K.

Zeva

“I just wanted to send you some pics of Zeva. She’s doing great. I was really worried about her introduction to our adult male cat, Rumble, but we took it extra nice and slow and they LOVE each other. They sleep together, eat together, wrestle all the time, it was a dream come true. She gets along great with our dogs; sometimes when she claims one of the dog beds for a nap, our two dogs will double up in one bed rather than disturb her, she might rule the roost someday!” Sabrina

Duchess & Duke

My cat and dog of 12 years died within six months of each other. I had moved in with my mother to care for her as her dementia became noticeably progressive. The thought of taking on new pets and caring for her didn’t seem conducive at the time. However I had noticed my mom continuing to withdraw into herself and brought her to the humane society to give her a chance to connect with some animals. My mom has had cats all her life and even though she claims to be a cat person, I had noticed she was very responsive to dogs as well. Though I had no intention of adopting that day in January I ended up leaving with a “matching” (see photo) cat, Duchess (fka Mittens), and dog, Duke (fka Chance), after a year with no pets. They have really helped my mom come out of her shell and added some much needed life to our home. Six weeks later, Annabelle joined the family as well. All thanks to the Oklahoma Humane Society. Since then we have continued to visit other animals in area shelters. The Central Oklahoma Humane Society by far has the best facilities and nicest staff. Thank you. John M.

Pearl

“I have copied some pictures below of Pearl’s new life. There she is, sitting in our family room waiting to be introduced to Braden on Christmas morning! Her dog bed is beside her and you can see we got her a new sweater, collar, etc. (They have even gotten her a new coat since then!). Next, you can see Pearl and Braden’s first meeting. She automatically licked him in the face. When we first got her and were holding her to keep her a secret from Braden, she didn’t like us in her face for kisses or anything. Pearl eventually warmed up, but she kissed Braden on their first meeting. Pearl has done very well in her new home. At first, she was not eating very much, but she finally found a food she likes and has been increasing on the amounts she consumes. She sleeps with Braden in his bed every night, and if he is gone, she sleeps in her bed in my parents’ bedroom. They have all gotten accustomed to each other and she has certainly made herself a home there. She loves to snuggle in Braden’s and my parents laps whenever they are seated and we have found her temperament to just be wonderful.” -Brynn D.

Sampson

“It has been one year since we adopted “Sampson,” pictured at left (lineage indeterminate). Though we were leery of owning a male dog, especially a large one, he is the sweetest dog we’ve ever owned – and we’ve had some good ones. When we took him to our vet for his initial check up, we described how he did a “bunny hop” with his back legs when he ran fast. It turned out that his left hip had been dislocated at some point in his past and never treated. We consulted with a surgeon who told us it could not be re-inserted but that he was a candidate for a procedure called a femoral head ostectomy. That, he explained, would relieve him from the joint pain that he likely already felt and that would get worse with age. He had the procedure in early October. He had a rough couple of weeks immediately following the procedure but is now as mobile as he was before the procedure and the new pseudo-joint is still strengthening. The doctor tells us that now Sampson will not experience the chronic pain that he would have had to live with the rest of his life without the surgery. He’s a great dog who has fit into our household better than we could ever have imagined. We are grateful to the Humane Society for the work they do that brought Sampson into our lives.” Mike U.

Meredith & Amelia

“Meredith (left) and Amelia came to me in mid-October, along with two other kittens, as my first foster experience with OK Humane. The four 6-week old kittens were tiny and covered in fleas. After a few baths, a warm bed, some toys, and excellent support from the OK Humane staff and volunteers, they transformed into bouncing, curious, and healthy kittens. After spending three weeks with the litter, I found myself incredibly attached to them, and ultimately decided to adopt Meredith and Amelia. My older cat has taken some time to get used to the idea of having other cats around, but now he sometimes forgets to act sophisticated and I catch him chasing after them playfully. It breaks my heart to think about the fate these kittens might have met, as they are now such an integral part of my family!” -Kelly P.

Rufus

“I adopted Rufus in May of 2008, two weeks after my fiancée and I rescued Miley from a golden retriever rescue in OKC. They have been inseparable ever since then. Rufus started out very small but we always new that with his large paws he would grow to be taller. I didn’t know that he would be as tall as our golden! Now they are about even in dog tug of war. Rufus is excellent at retrieving golf balls that i drive in the course behind my house. When I first got Rufus his leg was hurt and he could not run very fast. He has totally healed and is now a lot faster than Miley. They both enjoy the visits to Tulsa’s Bark Park where surprisingly Rufus has an identical twin sister. I still can’t believe that someone would want to give him away and feel very fortunate to have such a wonderful dog! He is a little timid around rivers and lakes due to his fear of the fish in the arkansas but after some coaxing we get him to swim out in the river and the narrows in the wildlife refuge. His favorite thing is to bark at the buffalo. Lately, Rufus and Miley have been advocate dogs for the Alzheimer’s association, Tulsa Cares, and Chron’s and Colitis foundation. We take our dogs everywhere and they enjoy the company of all the people we meet and even our cat Angel! Thanks again for a great experience!” -Robert B.

Maggie Alice

“Our cat, Maggie Alice (yes, my son named her!), is wonderful. She is, hand’s down, one of the easiest animals we have ever had. We have 3 kids, and she loves to be in whatever room they are in. She is quiet but likes to be in whatever room our family is in. We have dogs, but she whipped them into shape in no time, and they completely ignore her. She tries to sit somewhere and whack their faces to get them to play with her, but they just squint their eyes and take it! She is an indoor cat. She sharpens her claws on the carpet and not on the furniture. We feel like she is a great addition to our family, and we couldn’t be happier!” -Kristin L.

Baby

“I really appreciate all you and the Humane Society do! We love our new “baby” and look forward to watching her grow up with our kids! Thanks again!” -Leah M.

Juno

“Juno (previously Betsy) is doing very well. She is such a sweet dog and even when she chews on shoes or whines during the night, she still finds a way to make up for it. We are very happy that we have Juno as a part of our family. She loves our cats and especially our guinea pig!” -Anna

Toby

“Our cat’s name is now Toby and he is doing absolutely wonderful. He just got his 2nd kitten shot and is currently being treated for ear mites but other than that he is a wonderful, healthy little guy. He is such a sweet little kitten and has three playmates to keep him entertained (I have 2 other cats and a dog). My 15 lb. cat “Lily” absolutely loves him and they just run, play and wrestle. He’s picked his favorite cat tree in the house… I have 4 to choose from and loves sleeping and climbing. He has now met my easy-going, laid-back dog “Crystal” who could care less about cats. It was very obvious that he hadn’t seen a big dog and tried to get as big as he could get the first time he saw her. I laughed so hard and now he just plays with her tail and hops around her like he’s going to attack, then he tears off like he scared himself. He’s been such a joy and I’m sure glad he is now a part of my family.” -Debbie H.

Katie Scarlet & Mindy

“Katie Scarlet and Mindy are great. They are enjoying our family and we are enjoying them. Katie had an ear infection and Mindy got upper respitory infection but both are feeling better. They are so sweet and our kids love them so much. I attached a photo of our youngest daughter Presleigh and Katie and Mindy. She is pretty much their favorite I think because she is on their level. But I’m their second fav.” The Smith Family

Chloe Jay

“We wanted to share some pictures of our sweet Chloe Jay—she is so full of energy and a blast to have in our family! I’m proud to say with the help of our schnauzer she is already potty trained and growing like a weed. Her favorite thing is to run around and play with her brother and sister. We love her so much!!” Janet B.

Tristan

I adopted "Tristan," recently known as "George," towards the end of December in 2009. He has brought much entertainment to our house since the day we picked him up! Being a typical feline, he loves to randomly run wild through the house and, of course, pounce on us while we try to sleep. However, as soon as you choose to pick him up he immediately starts purring louder than any cat I have ever heard! He fits perfectly in our home along with our two Golden Retrievers, "Savanah" and "Paris." I feel so thankful to have a wonderful cat with such a personality! Our home wouldn't have near as many laughs without him! Thank you so much for this awesome cat and all the effort you put in to saving many animals' lives in our community. Kelly C.

Gizmo

This is Gizmo with his dad and new sister Mindy!

Murphy

I changed Frankie’s name to Murphy and he is just so wonderful! He gets along great with people and other dogs…my boyfriend has a 90 pound dog and they love to play with each other! Other than that he’s been a perfectly happy and healthy dog! I just love him so much! I attached a picture of us on Christmas! Thanks so much for checking in and I hope lots of dogs are getting adopted! Sherrie E.

Allegro

In April of last year I stopped by the Petsmart on NW Expressway and Rockwell. I had actually gone in just to visit the cats and kittens up for adoption because my own cat, Qat, had recently passed away. I had no intentions of adopting that evening. However, as I was playing (through the glass) with all the adoptable kitties, I came across the most beautiful tabby I've seen. He was a beautiful shade of grey brown, his paws were black on, and he had a tan underside with BLACK SPOTS!! He had very interesting markings! He was labeled "Jack" and he almost instantly jumped on the glass as I walked by. I jiggled my lanyard from my keys against the glass and he followed along. His meow sounded so sad when I walked away. I decided to play with him a little and see how we got along. We got along FABULOUSLY. He was so playful and sweet. We had an immediate connection. Although I felt slightly guilty for shortening my mourning period over Qat, I knew "Jack" needed a home and I could could give him one. He was quiet the entire drive home. He seemed to adapt almost instantly to his surroundings. He loved everyone. And they loved him. :) I renamed him "Allegro" because I felt his personality was much more lively than Jack. :) He's so well behaved. I can take him into Petsmart and he just sits in the cart. He gets along very well with our newly adopted puppy, Zelo (whom I had saved from mistreatment). We've moved recently and although he was slightly skittish for a few hours, he's adapted very well to his new surroundings. He's very well the perfect pet! Thank You! -Danica R.

Mei Lei

My husband fall in love with Mei Li at the first sight. We took her home when she was 7 1/2 weeks old. She looked like a little bear cub. My nieces also fall in love with her at their first sight. Then.....she grow up soooooo fast. Her chubby legs become very long until everyone who see her picture will ask "Is it the same dog?" From around 8 lbs and 7 1/2 weeks, now Mei Li is 45.5 lbs and 8 1/2 months. - Lisa K.

Liz

Hi friends! It’s Liz. It’s been a little over a month since I came to my new home, so I thought I’d check in. I have to tell you, I was pretty nervous at first. I spent about a day and a half behind the big velvet curtains in my room. I still like to spend some time there, but I am trying out some new spots. I have my very own chair for watching tv or napping, but my favorite spot is laying on the floor by the fireplace with my person. Although I’m not too interested in meeting guests that come over to our house, my person and I are getting along great! I crawl up on her lap anytime I get the opportunity. She keeps telling me how her mom would absolutely love to let me sit with her, too, but I’m still working up the courage. Mostly I spend my time sleeping, but I also enjoy playing with my mouse toy and purple ribbon (sometimes at 3 a.m. if my person forgets to hide my toys at night)! Loud noises - or sometimes noises my human says she can’t even hear - send me running back to my curtains or under one of the beds, although it does give me a chance to stretch my legs and show my speed! As you remember, I had a little issue with my eye when I was there, but my person helps me keep it clean and I don’t ever even notice it. My person says thanks for taking such great care of me at the Humane Society. I think she’s almost as happy to have me as I am to finally be home! Love, Liz

Prince

Hello, my name is Carlotta B. and I want to thank you for my kitten. His name was Sagan, we renamed him Prince. He is awesome, we love him so much. I have to say, if I get another pet, I will adopt. Its the best way to get a pet. I know my kitten is healthy and has all his shots, and I have all his information. He is neutered and has a microchip, in case something happened he would be found. Adopting is the way to go. I hope others will join in and help. Thank you again I love my baby. You have made my son and I so happy. Bless you all.

Belle

This is Belle with an old pillow she loves. Do you think she is spoiled? We got her about a year ago, and she absolutely loves it here. Thanks for all you guys do! We love her! :) -Laura H.

Hugo

Hugo's doing great. I honestly didn't go to the shelter expecting to adopt an animal--my husband is gone for deployment and in a strange bout of sadness I thought "I need to go play with a bunch of kittens." But adopting Hugo was really one of the best decisions I've made to curb that sadness/stress, the added companionship for me[and my other cat] has helped a lot. Before I brought him home I was actually pretty worried about how well he was going to get along with my other cat [she's never been very sociable] but he was totally fine. Ever since he's been here he's walked around like it's been his home forever. After slowly introducing them [and giving my other cat, Jill, a lot of treats] they bonded pretty quickly. I'm actually really surprised at how well they get along, they sleep together, play together, even clean each other. :) When I adopted him the workers told me he had something called cerebellar hypoplasia and I was kind of worried about that, because I've never had a pet with any sort of disability, but he doesn't have any issues with it at all- he runs and jumps and plays like normal. The only noticeable trait that I can see from it is when he lays down somewhere or in someone's lap that he's comfortable with, he just flops down and sprawls out. The only things that make him really different from my other cat are his giant paws [he's a polydactyl], he'll try to pick up his food/toys/anything on the ground with them--which is really funny and cute. He's a great cat-- friendly, playful, loving, a good companion--and I'm really glad that I decided to bring him home. -Holley

Sadie

Sadie is so good! She is so sweet and cuddly, always sleeping on her back with paws stretched over her head, or in some other ridiculously cute position. My husband and I are so happy with her. She is so playful and cute and can go from running around the house like a crazy kitten to falling asleep in our arms. She is constantly purring, my husband calls it “purr power” and we joke around about who gets the most purr power based on who she loves the most...an innocent joke...but of course I take the cake! Haha. She loves to climb up the curtains which we don’t love but expected it :) We are just leaving one panel up (the one that is beyond repair) until she grows out of her kitty climbing/clawing stage, which we hope will happen at some point! She really isn’t interested in store bought toys. Her favorite thing is boxes! We have fun building her “box forts” which occupy her for hours...a good thing to present to her when my husband and I are about to sit down for dinner and don’t want her drinking out of our glasses :) We did change her name to “Birdie” although my husband says she probably thinks her name is “little baby” because that is what I call her everyday I get home from work and in the mornings. Sincerely, Ashley and David H.

Leonard

I'm so lucky to have adopted Leonard, the Dachshund at the Moore PetsMart yesterday. Here he is happily sleeping in a chair in my home office just a few hours after arriving. :) -Becky

Sammie

Bandit has a new name, Sammie. He has adapted to our home quite well. Sammie gets along with our soon to be 3 year old Siamese, Roxy, as well as other people. He is a purr machine! -Barbara T.

Oliver

Hello, my boyfriend and I adopted "Captain Mouser" about a month ago at PetSmart (Edmond,OK). We called him Oliver. Since the first time we saw him, he attracted our attention pulling out his little legs through the cage. He's the most funny and curious kitten I have ever seen. He likes to play with us and watch us while we are cooking or washing the dishes, he follow us to everywhere and meows if we don't pay attention to him. Oliver is growing up so fast, he's very fine. He got our hearts and we love him so much. - Alejandra G.

Bunny

Sweet Kari who we adopted Saturday afternoon is starting to feel quite at home already. I am so glad to have her. She is perfect! Since she has no tail and her fur is so soft, we have named her Bunny.

Jelly Bean

Here is a picture of Jellybean, who was adopted at Midnight Woofness. She was the only girl in a litter of several boys. This picture is of her outside playing with her sister (in the background) Penny (who was adopted by the shelter). She was a teeny puppy and now she is a really hyper, playful little girl who loves playing with other dogs.

Patches

2 Months ago my family and I were blessed with this little girl Patches from the Central Oklahoma Humane Society! We just wanted to say she has made our family complete so THANK YOU!!!! - Kalee

Ace

Thank you for checking in on "Hugh" .We have renamed him Ace.....He is doing wonderfully, he has a brother and a sister, both are rescue Jack Russell's as well, so they keep each other quite entertained. HEHEHE He has fit in quite nicely. He needs some basic training, like all Jack Russells, like coming on command, jumping up on people, and stuff like that. But he is not destructive, aggressive, or shy. I appreciate all the Central OK Humane Society does for homeless pets.....Thank You!!!!!!! -Amber

Ada

Thanks for all the great work you did yesterday at Black Free-Day! Those pets are lucky to have you guys! We love our Ada!

Abbi

You probably won't recognize her, but this is Zoe (Now named Abbi) that I adopted at 12:55am on the first night of Midnight Woofness: A True Homecoming! I believe she was adoption number 27. She was 9 weeks old, now she is one week shy of 6 months old! My veterinarian defined her as a Maine Coon mixed with grey Tabby :) She is the most amazing SMART kitty! She loves being in windows and slinking around my apartment with her fluffy tail all puffed up (You can't see it in this picture because she hid it behind the chair, but it's a bottle brush tail!). She makes little mews when she jumps, runs, or wants food. She only likes one other dog (her Boston Terrier sissy Twiggy) and one other cat (Forrest from Santa Fe Veterinary Clinic). Her favorite things to do are ambush Forrest (he hates her) and make him swat at her, make fearless leaps from furniture to other pieces of furniture, be taken outside, sit in windows, and be pet. She is a PURRING machine! Of course, she is VERY curious ;)! I can't help but think how lucky I am to have picked her sleepy little head from Midnight Woofness. She is purrfect addition to my little family :D

Parker

Thanks for following up on Parker (formerly Squiggy.) He melted my heart at first sight and is now the center of our little world.. we couldn't be happier. My favorite part of every day is coming home to him- he wags his whole body in excitement and is such a sweet cuddle bug. He just turned 7 months old and is so well behaved for a relentlessly excited puppy!! His hair is getting really long and he is crate trained. He's loving life as much as we love having him. I've included a few pictures of Parker- as he can always make me smile, even on the worst of days : ) Thank you for bringing him into our life. Thanks again for all you and the Humane Society do for animals in need. Lauren S.

Paul & Einstein

Paul (the black one) and his new brother. We adopted Paul back around August. I could not ask for a better cat! Thank you for holding free adoptions. Einstein (the white one) has a great brother that he loves very much. -Ashten

Nuggette

This is Darby and her new cat Nuggette. She adopted her today! :)

Brock

This is Brock. He was adopted from OK Humane a year and a half ago. We got him as a foster when he was 3 weeks old and couldn't let him go. He'll be two years old in May :) - Amy

Hayley

Thanks to everyone who put in their help at your Furry Valentine adoption event. Our new cat, Hayley, seems happy in her new home, and we love her so much already! Thank you! - Rachel

Keith

Keith is SO sweet!!!! Totally worth waiting over an hour in 20 degree weather. ;-) - Kelly

Lucy Louise

New kitty, Lucy Louise and her BFF Louie! we adopted Lucy in Nov. 2011 and she's a sweetheart! -Cheri

Briana & Rhoda

A special day at our house: Two years ago today, we brought Briana home from the adoption center at the Central Oklahoma Humane Society. And one year later--to the day--Rhoda came to live with us. Both Briana and Rhoda were hard-to-adopt adult cats. Both were timid--Rhoda especially. It would be weeks before she felt enough at ease to come out of hiding and let us show her the affection we already felt for her. Last night, as both Briana and Rhoda sat with us on the couch (their collective purring almost loud enough to drown out the television), we reflected on how happy they both are now, and how they have become inseperable friends. And more broadly, how much they have enriched our lives. Please consider making your home a "forever home" for a deserving dog or cat. -Don S.

BeBoP

I adopted BeBoP in January of 2010. I wasn't looking to adopt a dog but stopped in the Oklahoma Humane Society one Saturday and BeBoP captured my heart. BeBoP has a condition known as cerebellar hypoplasia. Cerebellar hypoplasia is a disorder found in cats and dogs in which the cerebellum is not completely mature at birth. The result of this condition is that BeBoP doesn't have a good sense of balance. His movements are somewhat jerky and he has a slight tremor when he is focused on something. BeBoP came with his name and it is fitting. He is a little over two years old and is doing WONDERFUL! He has learned to compensate for his lack of balance and likes to run, jump, play, eat, lick faces and nap just like other dogs. BeBoP enjoys playing with his cousins (my brother has two dogs) and visits to the grandparents where he is spoiled rotten. He loves to be rocked in the rocking chair and my mother is always happy to oblige. A big thanks to the humane society for saving BeBoP. He loves his forever home and I don't know what I ever did without him. -Geoff S.
