  • Spay or neuter

    Every HST pet is spayed or neutered before adoption.

  • Vaccinations and prevention

    Age-appropriate vaccinations, deworming, and current heartworm, flea, and tick prevention based on each pet’s individual needs.

  • Eligible health testing

    Heartworm testing for pets over six months old and additional testing as needed based on each pet’s individual needs.

  • Microchip and Fi registration

  • VCA Healthy Start

  • A supported first chapter

    Starter food, a MARS coupon book, and current adopter resources.

  • Fi GPS welcome offer

    A free Fi GPS tracker with a six-month subscription, subject to activation terms.

  • HST Support

    HST staff and volunteers are always available to answer questions, provide resources and support to help you and your pet settle in to their new home.

HST provides each adoptable pet with an appropriate veterinary evaluation and preventative care based on the pet's individual needs and the information available at the time of care. However, no veterinary examination, screening process, or preventative treatment can guarantee that a pet is free from all contagious diseases, illnesses, parasites, congenital conditions, behavioral concerns, or other medical conditions, as some conditions may not be detectable at the time of examination or may develop after adoption.

HST does not place adoption holds, the first approved applicant, ready to take the pet home is granted adoption.

Adoption FAQs

How much are adoption fees and why are they that price?

Adoption fees vary by pet: cats range from $75 to $250, and dogs range from $150 to $450. Every adoptable pet is spayed or neutered, current on age-appropriate vaccinations, microchipped, screened for heartworms, and receiving current flea, tick, and heartworm prevention.

Those services alone can easily cost $430–$900 in Oklahoma. Adoption fees help supplement donations and support medical care, housing, food and other basic needs, utilities, and facility operations for every pet in HST’s care.

HST frequently runs adoption specials.

What’s included with adoption?

Each HST pet is spayed or neutered, has received age-appropriate vaccinations and eligible testing, is current on prevention, and has been microchipped with a Fi microchip that includes free lifetime registration.

A VCA Healthy Start Guarantee voucher, starter bag of food, and other adopter benefits are included from supporting partners.

HST staff and volunteers are available to answer questions, provide resources, and support you and your pet as you settle into your new home. Partner terms and eligibility may apply.

What is the process to adopt a pet?

HST’s adoption process is designed to be simple, transparent, and straightforward. Browse available pets online or visit them in person at the Adoption Center. Once you find a pet you are interested in, complete the digital application at home or in the Adoption Center.

Be prepared to provide your veterinarian’s information, if you have one, and your landlord’s information if you rent. Bringing a lease agreement that confirms pets are allowed can help speed up the process.

Applications submitted during operating hours are reviewed and answered the same day. Once approved to adopt, your new best friend will be ready to go home with you the same day. Contracts and adoption fees are collected digitally when you are on site and ready to adopt.

The first approved applicant on site, ready to take the pet home is granted the adoption. HST does not place adoption holds.

Do I need an appointment to meet adoptable pets?

No. The Adoption Center is open to the public Monday through Saturday from 10:00am to 5:00pm without an appointment. Browse available pets and check current hours before traveling.

Where can I see the pets available right now?

Browse HST’s current dogs, cats, and other pets on the Available Pets page.
