Meet Shelby
Shelby is a tiny, lively pup—about 9 pounds—whose foster describes her as affectionate and curious. Like many puppies, she thrives on interaction and play but still needs consistent guidance with housetraining and appropriate chewing.

Spay and Neuter Weekly Clinic
The Oklahoma Humane Society runs spay-and-neuter clinics at its main facility Monday through Friday, from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Appointments are handled through the shelter’s online scheduling portal, and the program is a regular part of the organization’s strategy to limit unwanted litters and reduce pressure on local animal services.
The clinic also accommodates walk-ins specifically for feral and community cats, a practice aimed at protecting neighborhoods and curbing unplanned population growth among free-roaming felines.
Short-term fosters play a crucial role in this process by providing temporary homes while animals complete their veterinary care or wait for adoption. Information about fostering and next steps is available at okhumane.org/foster.
To visit Shelby or learn more about adopting, stop by the Adoption Center at 7500 North Western Avenue in Oklahoma City, or check the Oklahoma Humane Society’s website for current hours and appointment options.
