The Oklahoma City Zoo has announced its latest initiative to help find forever homes for dogs in need. In collaboration with the Oklahoma City Animal Welfare, the zoo will be hosting a series of adoption events at its Rosser Conservation Education Center. •
- These events will take place on the first Saturday of each month until October, providing a regular opportunity for potential adopters to visit and interact with the dogs.
- The adoption events will run from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. each month, giving families ample time to visit the zoo and find their perfect match.
- The events will be held in front of the Rosser Conservation Education Center, located at the east end of the zoo’s parking lot, making it easy for guests to access the area.
The Oklahoma City Animal Welfare is excited to partner with the Oklahoma City Zoo to provide a platform for their adoptable dogs to meet potential adopters. As Ronnie Schlabs, Superintendent of the Oklahoma City Animal Welfare, put it: “We’re incredibly thankful for the zoo’s hospitality and heart. By opening their doors to our adoptable dogs, the zoo is proving that whether it’s tigers or terriers, conservation and compassion go paw in paw.”
The adoption events will not only provide an opportunity for families to find their new pet, but also allow them to enjoy the zoo’s exhibits and activities while taking their new companion home. The zoo’s press release stated: “Guests who want to visit the zoo after adopting a dog may leave their new furry friend with the animal shelter team to pick up afterwards.”
To make the adoption process as convenient as possible, the zoo is waiving adoption fees for all of the dogs participating in the events. Families can visit the zoo without purchasing general admission, and parking is free. The Oklahoma City Zoo’s Rosser Conservation Education Center will be the venue for the adoption events, which will take place on:
- August 2nd
- September 6th
- October 4th
By hosting these events, the Oklahoma City Zoo is demonstrating its commitment to finding forever homes for dogs in need. As Ronnie Schlabs noted: “By working together, we can make a real difference in the lives of these amazing animals and the families who will be adopting them.”
The special adoption events at the Oklahoma City Zoo are a testament to the power of compassion and conservation. By providing a platform for adoptable dogs to meet potential adopters, the zoo is proving that even the most unlikely of friends can become a loving and loyal companion.
