So You Want To
Adopt Your New Best Friend?

Pauls Valley Animal Welfare Society considers adoptive families from across the state of Oklahoma! Our mission is to find the perfect rescue match by carefully considering the background of each dog or cat and the specific needs of your family. Each animal is unique in personality, temperament, energy level, comfort with children and other pets, medical requirements, and more. We prioritize these factors to ensure a lasting match for their forever home.

Our adoption process is straightforward:

1. Fill out the application.
2. Schedule a visit.
3. Meet with our staff or volunteers to ensure compatibility.
4. Pay the adoption fee.
5. Bring your new companion home!

We strive to make the adoption experience smooth and fulfilling for both you and your new furry friend.
