Animal Welfare
08/22/23 PSA from the Moore Animal Shelter
Due to a recent outbreak of a highly contagious and deadly upper respiratory infection that has spread at another local animal shelter, the Moore Animal Shelter will not be accepting strays brought in from the public or owner-surrendered pets until further notice in order to prevent the spread of the disease and protect the animals in our care. Officers will still be responding to service calls in the community and picking up animals at large. We are asking the public not to pick up strays and instead call the shelter if you see or find a stray. Please be patient, as we cannot guarantee immediate pickup. Moore Animal Shelter's number is (405) 793-5190.
We take in homeless, abandoned, injured or sick animals in need, including cats, dogs, rabbits, other small mammals, reptiles, birds, farm animals, and wildlife within the city limits of Moore.
We also respond to reports of animal cruelty, injured animals, loose dogs, animals that are dangerous or a nuisance and enforce Moore’s animal ordinances.
It is recommended that residents do not detain or collect any stray but to call animal control with details about the animal’s location. We realize that may not always be possible and currently, our staff is available to run on calls of reported stray animals; both at large and detained during open hours of operation. To report a stray animal during open hours of operation, call 405-793-5190. During non-operating hours, residents who elect to detain an animal must be willing to do so until the shelter re-opens. Any emergency situation should be reported by calling 911.
