Townsquare Pet Patrol
This week, the Pet Patrol welcome three new groups to the fold, adding to the number of animals we have for you to take a look at every week, when making the decision to add a furry, four-legged family member. We would like to welcome about the Wichita Falls Humane Society, and the Animal Shelters in both Geronimo and Altus.
There are many organizations throughout Southwest Oklahoma dedicated to pets and pet adoptions. From shelters to foster and adoption groups, there are many different options when you are looking to add a new four-legged member to your family. Every week Townsquare's Pet Patrol will be highlighting adoptable pets from throughout the Southwest Oklahoma area, hoping to find furr-ever homes for shelter pets from throughout the region.
This week we are highlighting animals from 12 shelters, and hope to add more as momentum builds for this project. We will also be featuring information on upcoming events at our local shelters, as well as bringing you information on upcoming fund raising activities for these organization.
April is Heart Worm Awareness month, and the Pet Patrol would like to remind you to have your pets checked for heart worms this month. The Pet Patrol is brought to you by Midtown Animal Hospital. We would also like to thank Just 4 K9s and Kitties 2, your home for grooming supplies, as well as all of your pets' needs, from food to beds to toys. Please remember to spay and neuter, and of course to adopt, not shop!
SUCCESS STORY
On Saturday, April 15th, Friends Fur Change held an adoption event at PetSense in Chickasha. On Saturday 11 furry friends, 9 dogs and 2 cats found their new families and went to their new fur-ever homes. Great job in Chickasha! Remember, they've got a national adoption event coming up May 5th. You can find out more about that event further on in the Pet Patrol.
Tinkerbell, the Chihuahua mix from Carnegie that was surrendered by her owners because she had trouble staying in her back yard has found her new home.

This week, The Stephens County Humane Society is featuring another Pittie mixes. This week, he's a fun, energetic youngster called Pope ...
Pope is young, active, eager to learn, affectionate and ready to give some family a lifetime of love and devotion! He is an 11-month old Pit Bull Terrier mix who has so much love to offer and so much life to live. An active family with children and a big back yard would suit Pope just fine!
Pope is good with other dogs and children who can handle his larger frame but does need a cat-free home. Pope loves to lay in his human companion's lap and make a bed out of your legs. He see's nothing wrong with the fact that he weighs 44 pounds. For more information about this smiley, beautiful young dog, please call SCHS at 580-252-7387.
