"I wish I could help them all."
"I'd take them all home, if I could."
Do you feel that way as you browse the pet listings on okhumane.org? You're not alone. It's the most common sentiment expressed by the people who email us. The good news is that most of them go on to find the pet of their dreams--that perfect companion--and to provide him or her a "forever home."
But what about the pets left behind--those equally deserving companions who for some reason just weren’t a good lifestyle match?
We've got good news for them, and you can help. Central Oklahoma Humane Society and the Petfinder.com Foundation are excited to offer a feature that allows you to sponsor a homeless pet that has touched your heart, but whom, for some reason, you can't adopt at this time.
It costs an average of $180 to provide care for a pet while s/he waits for a home. Because it costs less to euthanize pets than it does to care for them, under-funded shelters are often forced to make hard decisions affecting good pets. You can help change this.
You can start by clicking to sponsor a pet that melts your heart on our web site. Your contribution of just $10 (or any amount you choose) will enable a pet to be cared for until a new loving family comes along. They all deserve this chance!
Contributions are collected and distributed to OK Humane by the Petfinder.com Foundation and are tax deductible as the law allows. We are notified of the donations received and donor contact information (only if given permission by the donor), so we can monitor which pets are "sponsored" and acknowledge the donation as well. In the event that the pet is no longer available for adoption or receives numerous sponsorships, we may apply the donations to ongoing needs for the other pets currently in our care.
This partnership is unique in that it supports the animal adoption organizations and the homeless pets at a local, direct level.
To get started, just visit any animal on our pets for adoption page, and click on "Sponsor Me"! Your donation is secure.
