All of our pets come with a collar and metal identification tag when they are adopted.  You will be required to bring a leash if you are adopting a dog or a carrier if you are adopting a cat.  For your convenience, these items can be purchased at the Humane Society of Tulsa for a small fee.  

At the time of adoption, you will be given a medical record of all the Veterinary Care given to your new pet by the Humane Society of Tulsa.   As standard protocol, all of our pets are given age appropriate vaccinations, spayed and neutered, de-wormed, and treated for fleas and ticks.  Dogs over six months are heartworm tested and cats are tested for feline leukemia and feline aids.

While every effort is made to ensure that the pet you choose to adopt is healthy, sometimes animals become sick after they get into their new home.  This can be because they were in our care only a few days and had exposure to an illness prior to coming to our facilities or simply because of stress.  Often pets have been moved around several times before coming to the Humane Society of Tulsa.  They may have been a stray on the street, picked up in an animal control vehicle and held at a municipal shelter for a number of days before being rescued by our organization. 

In an effort to assist you with unexpected illness, we partner with VCA Animal Hospitals who provide you with a complimentary follow up veterinary visit within one week of adoption.  This visit will provide you with a limited health guarantee.   In addition to our complimentary follow up visits, we provide you with discounted opportunities to purchase Pet Health Insurance.   The Humane Society of Tulsa does not pay for or reimburse veterinary costs incurred after adoption.
