Excellent example of transparency in a municipal shelter. Please read their full post.

We are sorry that these stats are coming to you late, but please know that we grieve too and bear the heartbreak that comes with them. Every week we feel the weight of these numbers, and it never gets easier. 💔

When we share the weekly stats for Tulsa Animal Services, it’s not to make anyone angry. It’s about transparency and bringing awareness to the community. Our goal is to fuel change, change in how we as a community value animal welfare.

We know some of our followers get upset when they see these numbers and we understand it comes from an emotional place, we get it. Please remember: this page exists to network the animals currently at Tulsa Animal Services and to support the shelter in their life-saving efforts.

💡 Important context:

🚨Tulsa Animal Services is a city shelter, not a rescue.
🚨By law, they are required to take in every single animal that comes to their door.
🚨On average, that’s almost 100 animals every single week. Please pause and try to imagine the weight of that number.
🚨Have some patience with the staff and volunteers showing up to the shelter every single day.

The reason we include photos in the stats is to honor and remember the dogs we’ve lost. Nobody working at TAS or volunteering there wants these animals to die. ALL of us have shed countless tears for each one. 🕊️

Pet overpopulation is not a “shelter problem” it’s a community problem. Until more people step up to adopt, foster, spay, and neuter, these devastating numbers will continue. Instead of saying “shame on you TAS,” we ask that you take a moment to understand the bigger picture. Be part of the solution with us.

We will Always Remeber:

If you are aware of animals living in unsafe conditions anywhere in Missouri (no shelter, etc.) now is the time to contact local authorities and the Humane Society of Missouri Animal Cruelty Task Force at 314/647-4400. Don't wait until the first snow storm when everyone else is calling. :-)

I am the largest animal welfare organization in Missouri.

I have helped thousands of animals in need get the second chances they deserve since my creation in 1870.

I am committed to my mission of ending the cycle of abuse and pet overpopulation through my rescue and investigation efforts, spay-neuter programs, and educational classes.

I am home to the Animal Cruelty Task Force, whose officers serve all 114 counties in Missouri 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year.

I am the Humane Society of Missouri. I am St. Louis.

Possibly helpful; we haven't verified that all are still active.

Vet care costs are on the rise. We're often asked if there is help available. Here is a list of places that may be useful.

So much accomplished, primarily in Missouri, by the Missouri Alliance for Animal Legislation

Over 1,200 puppy mills closed. Thousands of dogs are spared, and over 350,000 fewer puppies are being produced every year in Missouri. But the fight is not over. Help us advocate for more vigorous enforcement of our state and federal laws regulating commercial dog breeders.
