Tulsa Day Center

At the Tulsa Day Center, we don't think that having a pet should mean losing access to shelter. We have (limited) capacity for guests who bring pets, and are always accepting donations to support these four-legged family members. Whether you give online at tulsadaycenter.org, or bring pet supplies like dog food, leashes and medications to our facility 415 W Archer St., your donations help us provide a safe space for our clients and their companions. #MoreThanAShelter #EndHomelessness #TulsaDayCenter
