Discount Kitties: Sand Springs Shelter offering $40 adoptions to save lives
/
Sand Springs Animal Welfare is currently offering a discounted rate of $40 to adopt cats and kittens at the shelter.
Shelters across the state are over capacity due to an influx of Spring kittens. Rescues are full, foster parents are overwhelmed, and many animals are facing a do-or-die situation. Sand Springs is currently completely full of both cats and dogs.
The City of Sand Springs adopted an ordinance mandating the spaying and neutering of all cats and dogs inside of City limits, but it could take years for rescue workers to see an impact.
Shelter pets come spayed/neutered, dewormed, microchipped, registered with the City, and up to date on all age-appropriate shots.
Adults 18 and older can adopt animals by presenting a valid driver's license or government-issued ID. Adoption usually comes with a $65 fee to cover the animals' medical needs, but at present time the City is hoping to simply avoid euthanizing.
Sand Springs Animal Welfare is located at 8620 West 21st Street and is open from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. seven days a week.
Sand Springs Animal Shelter is full, in need of adoptions and fosters
/The following animals are available for adoption at the Sand Springs Animal Shelter as of 7.20.2017. According to welfare volunteer Stacey Zahn, the shelter is nearly full.

Adoption cost is $65 and covers spaying/neutering, vaccination, deworming, and a general health examination. You must be 18 years or older to adopt.
Healthy/adoptable animals are held for three days for owners to claim them before being posted for adoption.
In emergency overcrowding situations, the Sand Springs Animal Shelter may have to euthanize some animals.
Anyone looking to support the shelter can join the Sand Springs Animal Shelter Support Group on Facebook, or volunteer with Sandite Team Animal Rescue.

City of Sand Springs updates animal adoption and licensing fees
/The City of Sand Springs has seen an increase in pet adoptions lately. Here are two dogs currently looking for homes.
(This page features external redirects to helpful articles on adoption from a paid sponsor).
Sand Springs, OK- Dog and cat adoptions have increased substantially in recent years for the City of Sand Springs, leading to a comprehensive evaluation of the adoption process and associated fees. Beginning April 1, 2017, a pet adoption fee of $65 will be charged and cover costs for spaying or neutering, vaccinations and a general health exam prior to each animal’s adoption.
“We hope the animal adoption trend continues,” said James Adams, Animal Welfare Investigator. “Through a partnership with Spay Oklahoma, the City is able to offer low cost adoptions that include valuable veterinary medical services.”
Persons over the age of 18 are eligible to adopt dogs and cats from the animal shelter. Being a Sand Springs resident is not a requirement.
“When someone selects an animal for adoption, the City arranges for medical services,” said Adams. “Fees can be paid through Customer Service located on the first floor of City Hall. Animal Welfare staff will notify the new owner when the pet is ready for pickup.”
Residents within Sand Springs city limits will also find a simplified change in the license policy and fee for dogs and cats beginning on April 1, 2017. Licenses will cost $10 per animal and be valid for as long as the animal resides in Sand Springs. Each dog or cat will receive a tag that is registered and traceable, should the animal stray or become lost.
“Licenses provide some peace of mind to pet owners,” said Adams. “Most pet owners are reunited with their dog or cat within a day of them entering the City’s care; licensing is a simple and effective tool used to ensure that.”
Pets kept in excess of 24 hours upon contact of their owner will incur a $25 per day boarding fee. Fees cover daily boarding costs for owners who delay claiming a pet.
