This agency is a joke. My dog was attacked 3 months ago by a neighbors dog and everytime i call animal welfare im told i will get a call back. No one ever calls back. These people are either too lazy or too incompetent to do their jobs.

Very rude. I've tried to adopt an animal on two different occasions. Both times we were told to leave so they can go to lunch. When we returned the first time they were extremely rude. This last time I refused to come back. You opened at 10am you could have spent the 10 mins showing my kids the animals and went and had lunch. They don't care about adopting animals. It's pretty clear they only care about lunch. What a waste of tax payer dollars.

I adopted a dog here 5 years ago and she is the best dog ever! Never had issues with potty training. She’s a old dog but is willing to learn knee tricks still. She knows how to sit and roll over. My brother also got a dog here, I told him about this place because my dog is wonderful. And he is a great dog young puppy full of energy

They were kind and very thorough when I had to surrender a puppy I found, that didn't get gel with my pair I have. It broke my heart to do it, but lady was nice. What a wonderful service they provide, knowing they won't kill the puppy & find a home for her. 3yrs ago my spouse went here & brought home a now family member. He was already chipped & neutered. My other dog was lonely. They let them meet through the fence, they just started kissing, still do. I'm grateful to the shelter for this sweetheart, our family is complete. I could've handled a 3rd, but their bond is too strong to add another.

Thanks! Your review is awaiting moderation.

Go in person to fill out an application. There is training involved.

My aunt has a beautiful cattle ranch. She met a German Shepherd there that she wanted to adopt to work livestock and be a companion to my uncle. They simply would not allow it. They insisted that it must be an indoor pet only. SMH

You know they wouldn't have this instruction with a normal dog, this dog must have some kind of special need. They'll know their dogs far better than visitors, and want them to have a good home. You could have asked them what the dog needed instead of writing here.

Interested in fostering a specific pet. Unsure what that involves but is that something this shelter participates in?

Cynthia Seabourn | May 25, 2018
Maribob Lee | May 26, 2018

I have no idea, but the staff at the Norman Shelter are friendly and I'd give them a call. I'd also call Second Chance because it always needs footer homes for animals. Thank you so much for helping a furry critter, and good luck.

Ellen Parnell | May 25, 2018
Maribob Lee | May 26, 2018

I agree with Erin. You don't need to do anything with the shelter, but do notify the microchip company. The shelter staff will be happy to tell you how to notify the microchip company if you have questions. I've found Norman Shelter staff to be very helpful.

Yamilette Rojas | May 24, 2021

I took a couple of cats we were housing last week and it didn't cost anything. You have to call first and then they put you on a waiting list for an appointment. You can't just show up.

Do you have any barn cats

Pamela Lamb | May 24, 2021
Sally Johnston | May 25, 2021

You will have to contact Animal Control. Remember if you do find what you are seeking, have the cat spayed and/or neutered,

i was wondering if 3 cats had been brought in recently? one is blonde, one is white, ans the little guy is orange they are all males.

Alyssa Hazel | May 24, 2021
Cody Brooks | May 25, 2021

Do y'all let people adopt pit bulls out or do you kill them due to ignorance? Asking because I want to adopt one.

Midnight Mischief | May 24, 2021
City of Norman Animal Welfare (Owner) | May 25, 2021

Norman Oklahoma does not have breed specific legislation. We place dogs in adoption based solely on temperament. We have many wonderful pitt mixes available. You can view all our animals available for adoption at http://nawpets.shelterbuddy.com/.

I have actually never fostered an animal, I just got my kitten through them ,

Also important, and we have realized this in my family recently, which was not fun... my Dad is 80. He could and Lord willing, will live to see his 98th bday. But it was not until my Mom brought home a 1.5 year old beautiful cat that I realized ... it's very probable that this cat, who is so bonded to my Mom (who has Alzheimer's, dx'd in her 60s), her care will quite possibly fall to me one day. I love my parents, I love my Dad's tender heart for all animals - not just the nice ones :0) I'm glad Mom loves her cat - but her cat hates my cats. HATES all cats. But i might be her only caregiver one day. So just some things to keep in mind so there's less stress or worse, homeless kitties in the future.

Becky Smith | May 25, 2019
Reggie Guyton | May 26, 2019

Do you have any small dogs? My mom is looking for one

Deborah Wallace | May 24, 2020
M. Feaver | May 25, 2020

The normal dogs that do come through are larger dogs. I did see a puppy there as I was checking out a racoon trap, by the time I was done, they had adopted the puppy and two more dogs. I'm sure they do get small dogs from time to time, usually the small dog has a collar on it and is somebody's pet.

What do you need to have in order to surrender a pet?

EmbraceOfBlades | May 25, 2019
QueenO | May 26, 2019

I believe an address in the county. I think you have to show your license but can't remember.

Is the shelter for anyone in Cleveland County or for residents of the city of Norman. If it's only for residents of the city where is a county shelter.

Mike Colombin | May 25, 2019
City of Norman Animal Welfare (Owner) | May 26, 2019

Norman Animal Welfare is only able to intake animals from residents of Norman

Can you get job there or just volunteer if so how

Tammy Jackson | May 25, 2019
QueenO | May 26, 2019

I think both I would call up there and talk to them. Places like that look for people who have the heart for it.

Can I surrender a pet after hours? I found a car a couple months ago. He's roughly 8 and has been nuetered, my apartment just doesn't allow pets.

Dominick Johnson | May 25, 2018
Colt Lemmon | May 26, 2018
