Animal Shelter

Happy Paws Animal Shelter is a no-kill, non-profit animal shelter in Checotah, Oklahoma. All animals are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, wormed and groomed if needed before being transported to other facilities or adopted out. There is no adoption fee and we depend heavily on donations and fundraisers. The C.A.T.S. Foundation has funded the shelter operations in the amount of over 2 million dollars to date.

The Spay Center

Happy Paws is able to serve surrounding counties and neighboring animal shelters in Oklahoma through the Spay Center, a separate building designed specifically to meet the need of spay and neutering services. Spay/Neuter days happen on a weekly basis, with 80-plus animals seen on those days. In its first eight years, the Spay Center has treated over 37,000 animals.

Appointment required. Please contact us to schedule spay and neutering services.

Animal Transportation

Happy Paws additionally serves Checotah and surrounding communities through animal transportation. We assist in transporting homeless animals from community shelters that don’t have space to properly care for the animals. We’ve had the opportunity to transport over 14,000 animals since 2014, and it is our goal to get as many animals as possible transported into the loving and caring homes that they deserve.
