Everybody's Leftovers

A mermaid found a swimming lad,
Picked him for her own,
Pressed her body to his body,
Laughed; and plunging down
Forgot in cruel happiness
That even lovers drown.

- "The Mermaid" by W.B. Yeats

In Need of Homes

These are just some of the dogs at the Oklahoma City Animal Welfare Division - OKC's largest kill shelter. Adopting one of these dogs is literally saving a life, as many are put to sleep each week.

There are FIVE ROOMS of dogs to look through at the shelter. One room is all puppies! The adoption fee is $50 and includes spay/neuter, shots and health check and free obedience lessons. The shelter is at 2811 S.E. 29th St., phone # 405-297-3100. Use pet's ID # when inquiring. Special Adoption Fees: In the following cases, the adoption fee is $25-if more than one pet is adopted, if the pet is 4 years of age or older, if the pet has been in the adoption center more than 2 weeks.
