Providing a home and care for a pet is a lifetime commitment.
The mission of Pets & People Humane Society, Inc. is to rescue animals while educating the public about responsible ownership. We want every pet to have a home.
People is a volunteer based group that focuses on rescuing dogs and cats from local municipal shelters. These pets are all vet checked, given appropriate vaccinations, microchipped, tested for various diseases, given preventative medications, spayed or neutered and then sheltered until responsible homes are found. Since beginning this mission in 1993 we have rescued and placed over 55,000 dogs and cats.
Pets & People Humane Society, Inc. is a 501(c)3 non-profit, no-kill humane society that rescues adoptable cats and dogs from municipal animal control facilities across the state of Oklahoma on the day they are to be euthanized. We provide a safe harbor for our pets until they are adopted into responsible, loving homes. All are spayed or neutered to help end the vicious cycle of homeless pets.

History
1990: Pets & People Humane Society, Inc. was formed by Pam Wright, Mel Berger, Donelda Wheatley and Jody Harlan, in February, 1990 as a pet therapy program where volunteers visited nursing centers in Yukon, Oklahoma. Later, Pets & People expanded into a full service humane society, which rescues dog and cats from area animal shelters. To support the pets the shelter was rescuing, Pets and People added a foster home program, community projects, and school education projects emphasizing the importance of spay/neuter. Additionally, a thrift store was added. Pets and People became a 501(c)3 non-profit organization.
