The Lawton Animal Welfare Divisions Mission is to promote public health and safety and represent the morals of the community through the humane care and protection of its animals. This mission is obtainable through the high standards of professionalism in education, investigation, enforcement, adjudication, rescue, rehabilitation and t

he adoption process. The community can best be served through common decency in caring and direct action to bring about the immediate resolution to all the problems concerning animal welfare in the City of Lawton. It is the duty and responsibility of the Animal Welfare Division to represent all Citizens of Lawton, by fulfilling their mission through enforcement of City Ordinances and State Laws, providing educational programs, providing spay and neutering services to prevent overpopulation, and providing humane treatment of all animals while in our care. It is the goal of the Lawton Animal Welfare Division to assist the community to end the needless suffering of all animals and reduce the need for euthanasia, through Partnership Programs and Education. It is also the responsibility of the Lawton Animal Welfare Division to bridge the gap between the City of Lawton, its Citizens, Rescues, and the Animals in our community, as a single viable team. We also partner with local, regional, and national organizations to promote animal advocacy, pet overpopulation awareness, spay and neuter programs, and shelter volunteerism. One such organization we choose to partner with is the Bissell Foundation. We are participants in their Empty the Shelters Adoption Events. https://www.bissellpetfoundation.org/programs/empty-the-shelters/

🌬️🐾 High Winds & Pet Safety Reminder! 🐾🌬️

With these strong Oklahoma winds blowing through, now’s the time to double-check your fences and gates! 💨

✅ Make sure gates are latched securely
✅ Inspect fence lines for loose boards or weak spots
✅ Bring smaller pets inside when possible

High winds can cause gates to swing open or fences to fall, putting your pets at risk of escaping or injury. Let’s keep our furry friends safe, sound, and home where they belong. ❤️🐶🐱
