How to Adopt a Pet from Animal Aid
There you are at one of our Animal Aid pet adoption outings or at one of our network of veterinary clinics and it hits you — you’re in love. You realize what it takes to care for this pet, you know it's a responsibility you'll take on for a number of years, and you still have to have this furry companion. So what do I do now?
- 1. Be at least 18 years of age.
- 2. Have valid identification with your current address.
- 3. Be able to verify that you can have a pet where you live.
- 4. Bring along any resident dogs or children for an introduction to a new dog.
- 5.
Understand that Animal Aid reserves the right to deny any
adoption for any reason.
First -
Fill
out the Pre-Adoption Application. Be prepared to answer questions
about where the pet will sleep, the name of your landlord if you rent and
the name of your vet if you have one. This form is a final check to make
sure that you and your future beloved pet will get along once you both go
home. Once complete, we may have some follow-up
questions for you.
Second - Some of our animals need to stay with us a day or two to be spay/neutered. If your animal has already been altered, we will arrange an appointment for you to pick your animal up.

Can you hold an animal for me?
We do not hold animals or take payment over the phone to reserve animals. We adopt strictly on a first come, first serve basis.
Why won’t you hold an animal for me?
Animal Aid has decided not to put animals on hold based on past
experience. An overwhelming number of the animals that were put on hold
by potential adopters were never adopted. Also, potential adopters must
be present to fill out an application before we can approve an adoption.
Can I decide not to have my animal fixed?
No. Any animal that is released from an animal rescue group or
shelter must be spayed or neutered under Oklahoma law.
