Animal Control and Facility

The City of Yukon Animal Control and Facility and Pets and People Humane Society are two separate entities. Though both used to share a building, they are independent of each other. Neither organization can answer questions for the other and neither has information on the other's animals or procedures.

To reach the City of Yukon Animal Control and Facility call 405-350-4PET (4738).

To reach Pets and People Humane Society call 405-350-PETS (7387).

Both organizations are short staffed at the moment and phones are not able to be answered at times throughout the day but both organizations have voicemail so please leave a message with the appropriate organization.

Please google Pets and People for further information on their organization.

Adoptions

• All animal adoptions will be completed by appointment only.
• Animals available for adoption can be viewed on the Yukon Animal Control’s Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/yukonanimals/. To schedule an appointment, call 405-350-4PET (4738).

Stray or Found Animals

Stray animal intake at the Yukon Animal Control facility has resumed contingent on available space.

Due to anticipated increases in calls and possible response delays, residents are encouraged to not detain or collect any stray or found animals unless they are willing to house and care for the animal until the owner is located.

• Residents can report a found animal they are keeping in their custody online at http://www.yukonok.gov/report-a-problem/animals-lost-found/.
• Residents who identify a stray animal that remains at large or appears dangerous can report the location of the animal by calling 405-350-4PET (4738). A Yukon Animal Control Officer will respond to the area.

Owner animal surrenders are by appointment only. Animals being surrendered for the sole purpose of being euthanized will not be accepted, we do not have the staff, training or equipment to euthanize animals.

Loaning, retrieving, relocating any animals in any city owned or personally owned traps will be done as time allows. No traps will be set, either city or personally owned, if the forecast includes storms or temperatures over 85 degrees. The city does not own large traps for raccoons or larger animals. Feel free to contact Oklahoma Wild Care at 405-872-9338 to get advice or assistance with wild life.   

Visitation of court held dogs is suspended until further notice.

 If you call the Animal Control facility and no one answers, please know we are cleaning, disinfecting and taking care of the animals, we will call back when we have time to do so.
