Animal Welfare Assistance & Reporting Concerns
The Tulsa SPCA is committed to supporting pets and their people by offering guidance, resources, and education to improve the welfare of animals in our community. We understand that many pet owners face challenges, and our goal is to provide compassionate assistance to help keep pets in homes whenever possible.
If you are concerned about an animal’s well-being and believe the owner may need support, our Animal Welfare Coordinator can offer guidance, resources, and outreach to help improve the situation. Our approach focuses on education and intervention rather than enforcement. We do not have any legal authority to remove animals, issue citations, or enforce animal welfare laws. If you believe an animal is being abused or severely neglected, please contact your local municipal shelter or animal control agency, as they are responsible for law enforcement in these cases.
How to Request Assistance
If you are worried about an animal and believe we can help, please complete the form below. All submissions must include contact information, and you will be required to follow up with our Animal Welfare Coordinator before we take further action. Anonymous reports will not be accepted.
Our team will assess each request and determine how we can best support the situation, whether through providing pet care resources, connecting the owner with low-cost veterinary services, or offering humane education.

When to Contact Your Local Authorities
If an animal is in immediate danger or experiencing severe neglect, such as lack of food, water, shelter, or urgent medical care, please report it to your local municipal animal control agency. Tulsa residents can contact:

How We Support Our Community
Our goal is to empower pet owners with the tools and knowledge they need to care for their animals responsibly. If someone is struggling to provide adequate care for their pet, we work to connect them with solutions—whether that’s access to low-cost vet services, food assistance, pet behavior advice, or temporary boarding options.
If you know someone who may need assistance with their pet, encourage them to reach out to us directly at (918) 428-7722 ext. 1023 so we can provide compassionate, judgment-free support.
SPCA News
📣 Important Microchip Update‼️
By now you may have heard that Save This Life, a microchip company, has closed. This impacts 80 public customers and 53 adopted animals from Tulsa SPCA.
What we're doing:
✅All 53 adopted animals have been successfully registered with another microchip company.
For the 80 public customers who received a Save This Life microchip, we are registering these microchips with Fi Nano to ensure pets remain protected.
Public Customers Keep Reading:
If your pet has a Save This Life microchip, we are handling the registration for you, and you’ll receive an email soon with more details.
If your pet has a different microchip brand from Tulsa SPCA, the microchip is registered to Tulsa SPCA, but you will still need to register it in your name to ensure proper identification.

Adopted 4 years ago from TSPCA the chip was registered but don't know what company. Lost paper work misplaced.
We will be closed tomorrow, 2/17, due to inclement weather. Cuddle up with your pets and stay nice and warm!

For her 8th birthday, Sloan didn’t ask for toys or gifts—she told her mom she already has everything she needs. Instead, she wanted to collect donations for the shelter, making sure the animals in our care have what they need.
At just 8 years old, Sloan is showing us all what kindness looks like. 👏💛 #KindnessMatters #HappyBirthdaySloan #GivingHeart
