“This is a nationwide event we’re proud to have in Oklahoma City,” said Animal Welfare Superintendent Jon Gary. “We’ve been working hard to find a home for every pet in our care, and Saturday should go a long way toward helping achieve that goal.”

Animal Welfare said all adoptable animals are up-to-date on vaccinations, are microchipped and have been treated for worms and spayed or neutered.
