Tulsa Animal Welfare

Called today Sunday Jan 5th at 230. Neighbor refuses to bring dog inside and it will be cold temperatures in the teens. We can hear the dog crying during nights its in the 20s, it will be dangerous when its only 10-15 degrees tonight. I was told they don't respond to dogs being left out bc a dog house is out there. Was told all dogs can handle freezing temperatures in the teens and below if provided a dog house. Not true. There is an ordinance in Tulsa Dogs must also be brought into a temperature-controlled facility when the temperature is at or below 25 degrees Fahrenheit, City Council said animal welfare and police officers are authorized to enforce the ordinance. Why is TAW refusing to respond to dogs being left out in dangerous cold snaps??

TAW is an open admission shelter which means they can't pick and choose who to intake. Due to being on "managed intake", they do require appointments tho.The staff does care for the animals in their care, and make the best out of very limited resources. Looking forward to the new shelter facility!!Want to save lives? Adopt from TAW. And spay and neuter your pets!

Wow so crystal how do you even have a job??? It's so sad when someone calls to volunteer and the phone gets disconnected every single time. Please call this number and press the 0 option. How are these poor animals getting taken care of properly if they phone doesn't even work. SMH. Crystal is very rude and claims no one has voicemails so I can leave messages. SMH

This shelter recently got a new Coordinator, and it's on the up and up! Dogs are often 10 dollars, and they have a ton of great pups to choose from.

they are doing what they can to take care of dogs, cats, etc. remember this facility is run by city of tulsa, so if you like things about this facility tell the city of tulsa, and if you don't like things about this facility tell the city of tulsa. they have made alot of improvements in the last year or two. examples: 1) they are now a 85% "no kill" shelter.2) they are breaking ground on a new facility soon, on land nearby the old facility.

I care little for this place & I've heard horror stories for years HOWEVER... I'd like to encourage EVERYONE to still adopt from here!!! Please don't punish these poor animals for the failures of the facility and/ or the quality of the employees. Be the human that does right by them. Don't leave them here to die, how does it help these animals to take your business elsewhere....

I've been looking for my male pit for days with no luck. TAW is so unhelpful. The kennels are disgusting and the staff is so rude. They won't help you look or answer questions. They name the dogs they find immediately on their website which is just wrong!!! Those aren't their names. There are dozens of community service workers just standing around avoiding their jobs and still getting the hours for work that obviously isn't being done. The kennels are too small for some of the dogs they have and although there are empty kennels that are big enough they still leave these large dogs in the small kennels. I pray to God that if I find my dog out there he's been treated kindly.

I called previous and secured an appointment for 2:30 for a welfare check on a stray we found. waited outside for over an hour with no associate. Facility didn't answer repeated calls since you cannot bring animals inside. Do better!

Tried to call to report a very sweet stray dog I could not take her with me as I was at work. I was on the phone for 15 min and not once did I talk to a actual person.it just kept re directing my call I got all the way to the COURTHOUSE automated and still couldt talk to anyone.I had to leave the poor girl there she wanted to get in my car and I hated that I had to leave her y'all need to do better it shouldn't be so difficult to get in touch with

If anyone is looking for an inside cat to adopt, there is an application for IsaDora. She has been fixed and her owner is older and cannot take care of her anymore. If you are interested please reply to this post.I was at Tulsa Animal Welfare, just yesterday. I was there for more than two hours. From what I noticed, the kennels were being cleaned immediately.
