Oklahoma is gearing up for a different kind of title run — where every adoption is a win.

From August 24–30, shelters and rescue groups across the state are teaming up for Adopt Your MVP (Most Valuable Pet) a statewide adoption event where every cat and dog adopted brings Oklahoma one step closer to becoming a no-kill state.

Dozens of shelters are offering fee-waived or fee-reduced adoptions all week long. No draft picks required — just a leash, a little love, and room on the couch.

Your new MVP is waiting.

About Best Friends

Best Friends Animal Society is working to save the lives of cats and dogs all across the country, giving pets second chances and happy homes.

Just a few short years ago, cats and dogs were killed in staggering numbers in this country simply because shelters didn't have the community support or the resources to save their lives. That number is now less than half a million per year, but there’s still work to do to ensure a bright future for every dog and cat in America. 

Best Friends operates the nation's largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals and is committed to saving the lives of homeless pets by working with shelters and passionate people like you. Together, we will bring the whole country to no-kill. Together, we will Save Them All.
