Through its partnership with the oklahoma city animal shelter, the organization is able to transfer dogs and cats at risk of euthanasia into its adoption and relocation programs. Through its spay and neuter program, the organization prevents the birth of unwanted pets and helps reduce intake at the oklahoma city animal shelter. Humane education programs promote compassion toward animals and teach responsible pet ownership.

Programs: In 2017, almost 18,000 dogs and cats were received at the oklahoma city animal shelter and approximately 26% were euthanized. To save animals at risk of euthanasia, central oklahoma humane society transfers them into its adoption and relocation programs.
