The Tulsa SPCA supports a trained cruelty investigator to check reports of animal abuse and neglect in the Tulsa area. 

Dozens of calls and emails are received monthly and each report is kept confidential.  This program is supported by voluntary donations, as are all SPCA activities, and is not affiliated with any law enforcement or city/state agency. 

Our program works in association with municipal and law enforcement officials to rescue abused and neglected animals and to assist with documentation toward prosecution of individuals for animal cruelty, according to Oklahoma statutes.

Rescued animals receive veterinary evaluation, medical care, rehabilitation, and lots of loving care during recovery at the Tulsa SPCA shelter.  When they are ready, we help these deserving dogs and cats find homes filled with kindness and caring. 

If you suspect animal abuse or neglect, call the Tulsa SPCA at 918.428.7722, or email us by completing the convenient email form.

Your report can remain anonymous.

Meet Australia

Australia was pulled from imminent death by the TSPCA’s cruelty investigator on a hot summer day in May.

Just a puppy, she was the last survivor of her litter and had been locked in a small wire cage for days with no food or water, ignored as she edged toward death.

Pawnee County deputy sheriff Steve Melton called the TSPCA following reports from horrified neighbors who were watching dogs at an area trailer house have puppies, who then died painfully.

Donald Ray Aldridge, a trailer park resident in a rural area near Cleveland, was  charged with one count of animal cruelty and pled no contest.  He was recently sentenced to a one-year jail term to be served weekends.

was charged with one count of animal cruelty and pled no contest.  He was sentenced Friday to a one-year jail term to be served weekends.

Melton, with evidence previously gathered of dead puppies on Aldridge’s property, accompanied TSPCA cruelty investigator DeJay Cameron to the location.  Aldridge was arrested and served six weeks.

Approximately 14 dogs were confined in a small area, living under piles of junk.  Aldridge was required to find housing for all the other dogs.

Cameron climbed a fence, took the weak puppy from the cage. A veterinarian initiated emergency care for the flea-infested, thin, lethargic puppy and confirmed death was imminent.

Australia was held as evidence until the court ruled Friday in the case.

A shy and timid Australian Shepherd mix with a lovely red coat, Australia will need a quiet home with patient guardians willing to help her learn to trust her humans and feel safe in their care. 

She’s ready to begin truly living.

Meet Hope

This sweet little girl is appropriately named Hope.  She was found tied to a fence, a fractured and infected jaw, starving and skinny.  At the shelter, we wired her jaw and it healed after a few weeks.  But even the broken jaw didn't slow down her eating!    We speculate her injury was caused by being kicked hard or hit with something.  At the shelter she has not stopped wagging her tail and even smiling around the wires.  A very forgiving little dog, filled with hope.

Meet Pixie

This is Pixie, who could not get enough milk for what seemed like hours when she came to us after being dumped and abandoned along with two other tiny newborns.  The babies were thrown away like trash, but she grew up to be a picture pretty tabby and now the best friend of a young human who thinks she's anything but disposable!
