THIS WEBPAGE IS UPDATED DAILY! IF A PET IS ON THE WEBPAGE, IT IS AVAILABLE.

ARF does not ship our pets. If you are interested in adopting a pet you can print out an application, fill it out, and fax to 918-744-4489. If your application is approved you will then need to come to Tulsa to meet the pet and make sure it is right for your family. Keep the original application and contract, you will need them when you adopt the pet.

WE DO NOT ADOPT baby PUPPIES/KITTENS (under the age of 6 months) OUT OF THE TULSA AREA, as they are not spayed/neutered until 4-6mo of age. If you are not in the IMMEDIATE Tulsa area please do not apply for a puppy or kitten, and please do not ask us to make an exception to this rule... WE WON'T.

We do not adopt any adult pets outside of the Tulsa area without an excellent Vet reference. Adoption fee is $105 for dogs and $90 for cats, and covers spay/neuter, tattoo, heartworm test, current vaccinations and an ID tag. (Some "specialty" dogs may be more.) You will also have to purchase 6 months of heartworm preventative for the dog at this time.

You will need Adobe Acrobat Reader (a free download from the Adobe site) to open these files.

Please fax the application and the contract pages to 918-744-4489.

If you have not been contacted by ARF by the following Thursday after your application was submitted, e-mail noritaarf@cox.net (please note the name of the pet for which you applied, your name and the date the application was faxed). ARF applications are worked Sunday through Wednesday. If you submit an application on Thursday, Friday or Saturday, it will be started on Monday morning.

PLEASE NOTE: If you are faxing your application, make sure it is completely filled out. We will not work incomplete applications.

Several volunteers will participate in screening your application. This process involves reviewing your completed application and contacting references.

If multiple applications are received on the same animal, and two or more of those are appropriate homes, the animal will be adopted to the qualified home which submitted their application first.

You will be contacted by one of our volunteers to discuss any questions they may have regarding the answers you have given on your application.

If your application is approved, you will be notified by one of our volunteers. They will put you in touch with the person fostering the animal to make arrangements for picking up the animal at one of the following clinics or boarding facility:

15th Street Veterinary Group
6231 E. 15th St.
Tulsa, OK 74112

Cedarwood Veterinary Clinic
1412 South Harvard.
Tulsa, OK 74112

South Memorial Animal Hospital
7924 East 55th Street
Tulsa, OK 74145

Veterinary Associates
6925 South 69th East Avenue
Tulsa, OK 74133

Four Paws Spa
12820 South Memorial, Suite 118
Bixby, OK 74008

At the office, you will pay the adoption fee ($105 for dogs, $90 for cats) in either cash or check made payable to the Animal Rescue Foundation. This fee helps us cover some of the cost of spaying/neutering, tattooing, vaccinating, and lab testing. When you pick-up your new pet, the vet will ask that you purchase a six month's supply of heartworm preventative medicine for your new pet. This usually costs around $25, depending on the size of the animal. At this time, you will receive a copy of your adoption contract. Medical records on your pet and information from the AKC backed tattoo-a-pet service will arrive by mail.
