For the classroom

Oklahoma Humane Society started building a new campus in southwest Oklahoma City. The project costs $40 million and will cover 53,000 square feet. Plans include an adoption center, a clinic that can see many animals, lower-cost veterinary care, classes, and the group's first place for dogs to stay overnight. The opening is planned for spring 2028. A groundbreaking means construction is starting, not that families can adopt there today. The size and the price are the plan for the finished campus.
