The City of Tulsa is rallying behind its four-legged residents with Tulsa Animal Services (TAS) joining forces in the "Clear the Shelters" campaign, a nationwide effort that runs until the end of August. The drive, aimed squarely at securing homes for the abundance of sheltered pets and curtailing their numbers in facilities, has become a beacon of hope for many animals in limbo.
TAS celebrated a milestone last year when the "Clear the Shelters" event saw 273 pets adopted, a testament to the community's growing concern for its nonhuman inhabitants. In a bid to replicate, even exceed, last year's success, TAS is once again opening its doors wide to potential pet parents, now through Aug. 31. The announcement highlighted, there may be reduced or waived fees to nudge adoption rates higher.
With an assortment of hopeful dogs and cats, these furry friends are considering every visitor as a chance to start anew. Tulsa residents who toy with the idea of expanding their family—including a non-human member are encouraged to drop by TAS.
Meanwhile, the local government is acknowledging the critical role that the staff and volunteers at Tulsa Animal Services play in this campaign. Their dedication to animal welfare and their unwavering service to the community have been, instrumental in creating a bridge between once-sheltered pets and their forever homes. The City of Tulsa's official release expressed gratitude to "the dedicated staff and volunteers at Tulsa Animal Services for their continued commitment to animal care and community service."
