Norman Animal Shelter

Our Mission

Norman Animal Welfare is dedicated to encouraging responsible pet ownership by protecting the health, safety, and well-being of the pets and residents of our community. We strive to create positive, life-saving outcomes for every animal that comes through our doors.

Our Community Commitment

Since the completion of our 13,246 square-foot facility in 2016, we have remained committed to serving our local animal population with a state-of-the-art veterinary clinic. By partnering with our community and dedicated volunteers, we are proud to achieve a 90% or higher live release rate for the nearly 2,000 animals we care for annually.

How We Care

Our center provides a safe, secure environment for lost pets waiting to be reunited with their families and a welcoming space for animals awaiting their forever homes. Through our robust foster program, we invite community members to provide temporary, loving care in a home environment, which helps our dogs and cats thrive while they wait for adoption. Every animal in our care receives essential medical attention, including spay or neuter surgery, vaccinations, and microchipping, ensuring they are ready to transition into a new family.

Finding Your Perfect Match

We believe in creating unique adoption experiences that support you every step of the way, helping you find the right fit for your lifestyle. Whether you are looking for a new best friend or exploring how to help, our staff is here to help you navigate our adoption process with confidence. When you adopt, you are not just bringing home a pet; you are becoming part of a compassionate community dedicated to second chances.

Join Us Today
