Supporting Shelter: Humane Society of Cherokee County

Supporting Rescue: Tulsa SPCA

Pros: A hard-working and dedicated group

Cons: Swamped by stray, abandoned, and injured dogs and cats

This no-kill shelter is an oasis in the midst of a population largely indifferent to the fate of cats and dogs. It has grown and consolidated over the last several years so that it now has two buildings on a four acre site housing a dozen cats and seventy or so dogs. The only paid worker is the cleaner and feeder for the dogs. All the medical treatment, walking, record keeping, adoptions, publicity, fund-raising, and who knows what else, are done by dedicated volunteers. All the bills are paid (so far, anyway!) out of donations and the fund-raising events. It keeps going because of totally volunteer efforts, and with the talent and determination of this small group of people, the Humane Society of Cherokee County has become one of the best things about the area.
