💛 THE LONELY HEARTS CLUB: MEET RIPLEY! 🐾

369 days in our care. Let's help Ripley find his people!
At just 1½ years old, Ripley has spent much of his young life waiting for a home. But this fun-loving guy hasn't lost his enthusiasm for life!

Ripley is full of energy and loves to run, play, and splash around in water! He's also a cuddle enthusiast who enjoys spending time with his favorite people. ❤️

He's a rock star in our doggy playgroups, getting along with all dogs and doing a great job reading social cues and adjusting his play style.

🐾 His ideal home? An active, patient family who understands that transitioning from shelter life takes time. Ripley will benefit from consistent routines, positive reinforcement, regular exercise, and enrichment to help him settle in and thrive.

❤️ Good with: Dogs, adults, and kids. Cats are unknown.

After 369 days, Ripley deserves more than a chance. He deserves someone committed to helping him succeed!

📍 Northern Oklahoma Humane Society
900 W. Prospect Ave., Ponca City
Tue–Fri 11–5 | Sat 12–4

🐾 Happy Tails! 🐾

We’re celebrating eight cats and dogs who found homes over the past two weeks!

🐱 Cats: Harry, Wilson, Jackson, Whitney, and Tori
🐶 Dogs: Justice, Holly, and Teddy

Teddy’s first home wasn’t the right fit, but he was adopted into a new home within a week of coming back to us. We’re so glad he got another chance to find his match.

Here’s to forever homes, lasting bonds, and a lifetime of love together! 💛

A huge thank-you to the RCB Bank volunteers who chose the NOKHS Conex cleanout as their United Way Day of Caring project! 💙

Last Wednesday, even with the rain coming down, this team rolled up their sleeves and helped us tackle a project that had been building for years. We sorted through everything in the Conex, cleared out items we no longer needed, set aside supplies we can share with adopters and pet owners in need, and organized the rest into labeled totes and onto shelves.

That work makes a real difference for the shelter. Now our team can find and access supplies more easily, make better use of the space we have, and get useful items to the people and pets who need them. It’s the kind of behind-the-scenes project that helps our day-to-day work run more smoothly and supports animals both inside and outside the shelter.

We’re so grateful to the RCB Bank team for giving their time and energy to help NOKHS. Thank you for showing up on a rainy day and making such a lasting difference! 🐾

🎤 Meet Snoop and Adam! 🐾

These two came to us from Ponca City Animal Control and are now available for adoption.

We’re still getting to know Snoop and will share more about him as we do. Adam has a few good things going for him: he’s potty trained, knows basic commands, and is good with kids.

Stop by the Northern Oklahoma Humane Society to meet them and learn more!
