Sallisaw Dog Pound

The third Saturday of every month is free adoption day at the Sallisaw Animal Shelter. The $15.00 adoption fee is waived on this day.

We are a 501(c)3 Non-Profit organization with license #SLT00073 from the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry.

In 2014, after identifying a need for animal welfare in our neighborhood, we began removing animals from the neighborhood kill shelters. A total of 2700 dogs and cats were saved between January 2019 and August 2020. By helping to save companion animals and find homes for them, or by selecting them to be transported and subsequently adopted into loving homes, we have assisted over nine kill shelters in our area to become no-kill shelters.

A no-kill facility, HSCC is financed by contributions, fundraising initiatives, membership fees, and grants. The group does not receive funding from the municipal, state, or federal governments.

Whether it's to socialize the animals, maintain the facility's cleanliness, or give the kennels food and water, volunteering is incredibly helpful to the animals. Volunteers are always needed.

Within the boundaries of Tahlequah City, stray and abandoned animals are rescued and recovered by Tahlequah Animal Control Officers.
