Our mission is to improve the lives of dogs and cats, and their human companions.
Our Vision
By 2025, through community engagement, the rate at which dogs and cats in the Tulsa area are abandoned, neglected or unnecessarily euthanized will be reduced.
Core Values
Teamwork
We believe in the power of teamwork and positivity, both internal and external, in achieving our common goals. Practicing respect, empathy, honesty and assuming good intentions will allow us to progress further as a team.
Stewardship
In addition to meeting the minimum legal and financial standards for nonprofit organizations, we believe our responsibility demands we keep our mission at the forefront of our decision making. We will ensure impact optimization through transparency, effective use of resources, and being true to our high professional standards.
Public Education and Outreach
We believe education and outreach are key to long-term improvements in animal and human lives. Through active and compassionate listening to our community, we aim to identify where the needs are so we can be a non-judgmental resource where understandable and forward-thinking information is vital and easily accessible to all willing to participate.
Compassionate and Humane Treatment of Animals
In all program aspects, we will ensure compassion and humane treatment of animals is our primary concern. Following Fear Free® principles in our interactions with animals, adherence to the Five Freedoms model, staying up to date on animal welfare practices, and keeping our capacity for care in mind are aspects we consider core to this value. Additionally, reserving personal judgment and prioritizing facts and compassion is key. This includes the ability to acknowledge when humane euthanasia is the best option.
Animal-Human Bond
We believe the benefits between animals and humans flow both ways, thus the size of your bank account should never determine your ability to experience the love and companionship of an animal. Meeting people where they are and providing resources to strengthen the animal-human bond is critical. These resources include: access to affordable veterinary care, removing adoption barriers, and other tools to help keep animals and humans together.
SPCA News
Hi, I'm Andy. But you can call me whatever you want, especially if you're calling me for dinner...
I used to live in a minivan with 2 puppies before Tulsa SPCA rescued me. I'm not sure if the pups were mine, but I sure mothered them as if they were, and yes, I am a male dog. Since coming to Tulsa SPCA, I've met a lot of humans, other dogs, and cats, and I still haven't found one I don't like! I guess you could say I'm easy to get along with. If you're looking for a lounge buddy who still wants to get active every now and then - I love to play! Come check me out! Tulsa SPCA is open late tonight (until 8pm), tomorrow from 10:30am-5:30pm, Saturday 10:30am-8pm and Sunday 10:30am-5:30pm. We take a lunch break from 12:30-1:30 every day!
P.S. I'm also well behaved indoors and I do well with car rides, want me to prove it to you?

"Chilling with our shelter dogs just got cooler! Earlier this week, our team whipped up some paw-some treats and had a blast doing it. Can't wait to see the pups gobble them up. Woof-tastic!"
