I am a huge animal person. I still cry over my dog that died 9 months ago. I hate coming home without my dog. Me and my dad decided not to try and get another pet until we were completely over Bear.(that was my dog's name). So even though this might be unoriginal, it is still a very important topic to me. Pets and People Humane society is an amazing organization in Yukon, Oklahoma that gets homeless cats and dogs off the streets, and provides a home for them while trying to find them another home to become a part of. This is their mission statement :Pets & People Humane Society is a 501(c)3 non-profit, no-kill humane society that rescues adoptable cats and dogs from municipal animal control facilities across the state of Oklahoma on the day they are to be euthanized. We provide a safe harbor for our pets until they are adopted into responsible, loving homes. All are spayed or neutered to help end the vicious cycle of homeless pets.

In 1992 they associated with PetSmart to begin a separate non profit organization.And sooner after the their organization just rapidly grew. They opened the first dog park in Oklahoma in 1999. They have sheltered thousands of cats and dogs, and helped find good homes for many of them as well.

Personally, i love this organization, because this is the organization that I adopted Beard from, and he was the best dog I ever had. (well the only one) But hes was an amazing dog. I still miss him everyday. I volunteer at Pets and People every once in awhile, and even though it's really depressing to see all these animals without a home, it's still nice to be able to volunteer and spend some quality time with them. I like the way they run their animal shelter, because they organize volunteers to come out and help with taking care of the dogs and cats. They have a huge play ground to spend time with the animals, and even though it's pretty smelly in the building, they have a really nice place, and take really good care of these animals. So I already participate in Pets and People, but I will definitely continue volunteering there. Especially during the summer when i have alot of free time throughout the day.
