The Okmulgee County Humane Society is appealing to the community to consider fostering or adopting two dogs in their care - a sweet female stray found tied to a pole, as well as Lacey, a young dog who has been waiting at the shelter since May 2025. Both dogs are described as loving and deserving of a second chance at a forever home.

Why it matters

The Humane Society emphasizes that adopting locally is one of the most meaningful ways to help animals in need, as every adoption opens up space to rescue more abandoned or stray pets. Choosing to give these dogs a home would not only transform their lives, but also support the important work of the Okmulgee County Humane Society.

The details

Earlier this week, the Humane Society took in a sweet female dog who was found tied to a pole and abandoned. Despite the heartbreaking circumstances, volunteers say she remains incredibly loving, calm, and trusting. Meanwhile, Lacey, a beautiful young dog nearing two years old, has been waiting at the shelter since May 2025. Volunteers describe Lacey as affectionate, playful, and eager for attention and companionship. Both dogs are fully vetted and ready for adoption.
