Tulsa Animal Services teams up with local partners to offer essential vet care following overwhelming interest in the city’s new voucher program
Tulsa Animal Services, in partnership with the Humane Society of Tulsa and Tulsa SPCA, and funded by the Banfield Foundation, is hosting two Pop-Up Spay/Neuter and Vaccine Clinics on Tuesday, April 29, and Tuesday, May 6, at the Tulsa Expo Square (4145 E. 21st St).
Mobile veterinary units will be on-site to perform low-cost spay and neuter surgeries and provide essential vaccines to pets. These clinics aim to expand access to basic veterinary care and reduce pet overpopulation across Tulsa.
“This is a direct response to the overwhelming interest we received after announcing our new voucher program for residents ticketed for having unaltered pets,” said Sherri Carrier, Director, Tulsa Animal Services. “We had people asking to be ticketed just to access the vouchers. It really highlighted the demand and need for affordable spay/neuter and vaccine options in our community.”
Spay/neuter procedures will be offered at a reduced rate of $30 per pet, while core vaccinations to prevent parvo, distemper, and rabies will be available for $15. These low-cost options are intended to remove financial barriers for pet owners while supporting public health and responsible pet ownership.
Spaying and neutering help prevent unwanted litters, reduce the risk of certain cancers, and curb behaviors like roaming and aggression. Vaccinations protect pets from life-threatening illnesses and are critical to long-term health and wellness.
“We're incredibly grateful to the Banfield Foundation for making these clinics possible. Their support helps us provide affordable, accessible veterinary care to Tulsa pet owners who need it most," said Gina Gardner, Executive Director of the Humane Society of Tulsa. "This partnership strengthens our shared mission to keep pets healthy, reduce shelter intake, and support families where they are. Everyone benefits when we bring services directly into the community, especially the animals."
“Our mission is rooted in compassion and collaboration,” added Renee Russell, Chief Operations Officer for Tulsa SPCA. “These clinics are examples of what can happen when organizations join forces to meet Tulsa residents' everyday needs. We’re proud to be part of this important initiative.”
Pre-registration is required, and walk-ins will not be accepted. Information on how to register for the clinic will be available on the Humane Society of Tulsa's Facebook page. Pet owners must register in advance at https://clinichq.com/online/0b5c0e16-9cdb-4100-9cb8-1468e10dcde9.
