Northern Oklahoma Humane Society

Connecting Animals in Need with People Who Care

The Northern Oklahoma Humane Society is dedicated to serving the communities where we live, providing comprehensive, holistic support to animals and their families. Our mission is to facilitate meaningful connections that change lives for both our furry friends and their new human companions.

Our History and Community Roots

We are proud of our deep roots in the community and have evolved over the years from the Ponca City Humane Society into the Northern Oklahoma Humane Society. This new identity reflects our dynamic future as an impact-based organization guided by the essential bond between animals and the people of Northern Oklahoma.

A Dedicated Approach to Care

Our organization functions through a compassionate blend of on-site shelter care and a robust volunteer-led foster network. Whether animals are underage, injured, or simply in need of socialization, our foster parents provide a safe, loving home environment that eases the transition to a forever family. We provide the medical care, spay/neuter services, and resources our foster families need to help these animals thrive until they find their permanent homes.

Finding Your Perfect Match

Adoption is a lifelong commitment, and we are here to support you in finding the right companion for your lifestyle. We encourage all members of your household to meet potential pets, and we even offer a foster-to-adopt option if you would like a trial period to ensure a perfect fit. From our Golden Pet Program for seniors to our Buddy Adoption discounts, we work hard to ensure every pet finds the loving environment they deserve.
