Mission
The Central Oklahoma Humane Society exists to enrich the communities it serves by promoting the well-being
of animals.
Background
The Central Oklahoma Humane Society (OK Humane) is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit organization leading Oklahoma
City's campaign to become a humane place for animals and to dramatically increase the overall well-being of
animals in Central Oklahoma. These goals are being accomplished through innovative adoption programs, lowcost spay and neuter programs for dogs and cats, public humane education and advocacy.
OK Humane has a proven track record of developing successful partnerships with municipal organizations such
as the Oklahoma City Animal Welfare and national organizations such as the ASPCA, Petco Foundation and
PetSmart Charities. OK Humane programs have consistently met and exceeded the goals set forth and the
organization has developed a national reputation for being one of the most progressive and successful animal
welfare organizations in the country. OK Humane has a committed board of directors consisting of some of the
city’s most influential business and philanthropic leaders. The board annually achieves 100% giving to our
organization.

Impact
The Central Oklahoma Humane Society (OK Humane) is the largest private animal welfare organization in
Oklahoma City. The organization was founded in 2007 to save the lives of pets being unnecessarily euthanized
at the City Shelter and to create a culture of compassion in Oklahoma City. To achieve this, OK Humane
entered into a unique partnership with the Oklahoma City Animal Welfare to transfer dogs and cats from their
shelter to its adoption program where they could be found homes and saved from euthanasia. Under this
partnership, both organizations are committed to working toward a collaborative goal of saving 75% of the
animals entering the City Shelter annually.
Great progress has been made since 2007. Adoptions have increased from 4,834 per year in 2007 to 7,001 in
2015. The percent of animals leaving the City Shelter alive has also climbed from 25.3% in 2007 to 67% in
2015. In 2015, OK Humane found homes for over 3,600 dogs and cats, sterilized more than 13,600 preadoption and publicly owned pets. 2016 goals are to save 4,700 via adoption and relocation and sterilize 13,000
dogs and cats.
Needs
The Central Oklahoma Humane Society is heavily dependent on volunteers to assist in saving the lives of
homeless pets. Volunteers are needed to foster dogs and cats coming into the adoption program as well as
assist with daily operations in all locations. OK Humane currently has approximately 600 volunteers.
The organization is also funded entirely by individuals, corporations and foundations. Many of the innovative
and life-saving programs offered by OK Humane have been made possible through generous public support. In
order achieve the goal of saving all of the healthy and adoptable animals entering the City Shelter by 2018, OK
Humane will need to grow its programs by 15% year-over-year. This growth can only be accomplished by
growing the organization's income and public support.
CEO/Executive Director Statement
The Central Oklahoma Humane Society is one of the most successful foster-based organizations in the country
and is on track to save or support more than 18,000 dogs and cats in 2016. This is an extraordinary
accomplishment for a foster-based agency and we continue to grow the number of pets saved year-overyear. Key to our success is our base of foster homes and network of supportive services, including our in-house
medical clinic, intake facility and spay & neuter clinic. The majority of dogs and cats entering our program from
the Oklahoma City Animal Welfare (the OKC animal shelter) require medical care. Our in-house medical clinic
evaluates and treats every animal upon intake and is also able to treat dogs and cats needing non-standard
veterinary care such as surgery, or treatment for ringworm, parvovirus, and heartworms through our Rita’s
Angel Fund.
To reduce the number of unwanted pets entering Oklahoma City Animal Welfare, our spay and neuter clinic
offers low-cost sterilization surgeries for free-roaming cats and publicly owned pets. The Central Oklahoma
Humane Society's Spay & Neuter Clinic is a Humane Alliance-model clinic. Humane Alliance is the national
leader in high-volume/high-quality, low-cost spay and neuter. Because cost is a primary barrier to spay &
neuter, they offer numerous promotions throughout the year for free or low-cost spay and neuter services. In
2015, OK Humane sterilized 13,690 dogs and cats.
Since 2007, more than 100,000 dogs and cats have been saved or assisted by OK Humane.

Adoption Program
Description
OK Humane places dogs and cats into loving homes through this
program. Approximately 70% of the animals that enter the OK Humane
Adoption Program are transferred directly from Oklahoma City Animal
Welfare. The adoption animals are placed with a caring foster home while
they are prepared for adoption. All OK Humane animals are spayed or
neutered, vaccinated, dewormed, treated for fleas and ticks, and are
microchipped prior to being available for adoption.

Program Short-term Success
Success is measured on the achievement of annual adoption goals.
Program Long-term Success
OK Humane has found homes for more than 20,000 dogs and cats since
2007.
Program Success Monitoring
We track all adoptions on a weekly basis and can quickly identify whether
or not we are on track with our annual goal.
Examples of Program Success
OK Humane hosts various reduced-fee and fee-waived
adoption promotions annually. These events are very popular and
generate a strong turn out from the public. One popular event is the "My
Furry Valentine" adoption event held on Valentine's Day weekend. During
this event, pets are available for adoption at no fee. The event has
typically found homes for 100-150 pets. The OK Humane team believes
that signature adoption events create awareness about pet adoptions and
are an exciting way to engage the Oklahoma City community in our
mission.

Spay & Neuter Program
Description

services and educates the public about the importance of sterilizing pets.
The OK Humane Place Spay + Neuter Clinic follows the Humane Alliance

Program Short-term Success
Sterilizing a high number of publicly owned pets prevents the birth of
unwanted pets and reduces the number of puppies and kittens entering
Oklahoma City Animal Welfare (OKCAW). OK Humane monitors intake at
the OKCAW on a monthly and annual basis. Our goal is to see overall
intake decline with a more dramatic decline in puppy and kitten intake
year over year.
Program Long-term Success
The Central Oklahoma Humane Society's spay and neuter program has
completed more than 85,000 spay/neuter surgeries since its inception in
2007.
Program Success Monitoring
We track the number of surgeries performed at our spay and neuter clinic
and the census of the animals served. We can then look at intake data for
the Oklahoma City Animal Welfare and assess whether or not we are
seeing intake declines in the target populations.
Examples of Program Success
By targeting free-roaming cats in specific zip codes, we have been able to
see large reductions in kitten intake at the Oklahoma City animal shelter,
Oklahoma City Animal Welfare.

Program Short-term Success
The Central Oklahoma Humane Society's relocation program has enjoyed
short-term success since it's relaunch in December 2015 by securing 4
transfer partners for dogs and puppies and is in negotiations for a
potential cat transfer partner. Within it's first two months, the program
transferred 189 dogs.
Program Long-term Success
The Central Oklahoma Humane Society's relocation program's long term
goal is to aid in the overall organization's mission to eliminate the
needless euthanasia at the Oklahoma City animal shelter. In 2016, the
goal is to relocate 1,500 dogs and puppies.
Program Success Monitoring
The program at full capacity will significantly increase the percent of dogs
leaving the city shelter alive measured by live release rate. The current
rate of 67% should increase to 75% or more.
Examples of Program Success
We receive messages from all of our receiving partners letting us know
how excited they are to receive the dogs and how quickly they have found
homes for them. Not only does this program save dogs in central
Oklahoma, but it helps to save additional dogs in the partner shelters
because of the added traffic generated from people coming in to meet the
relocation dogs and instead choosing to adopt dogs in their programs.
Excitement and visibility enhance all dogs chances of getting adopted.

CEO/Executive Director/Board Comments
The Central Oklahoma Humane Society has been
extremely successful in saving the lives of homeless
pets since its founding in 2007. Working in partnership
with Oklahoma City Animal Welfare, OK Humane's
programs have made a significant impact in the number
of animals placed into homes annually, the reduction of
animals entering the Oklahoma City animal shelter and
the number of animals euthanized. Since 2007, the
number of animals saved through adoption has
increased by 128% and annual intake has declined by
8% due largely to the efforts of OK Humane's adoption
and spay & neuter programs.
