Hosts Pat Becker and Jon Gary discuss Oklahoma City Animal welfare with guest Lyne Huffman, Field Supervisor, OKC Animal Welfare.
A
Hi
everybody
and
welcome
to
animal
tails,
TV
I'm,
Pat,
Becker
and
obviously
I'm,
not
Julie
bank,
but
julie
has
moved
on
and
we
have
a
new
director,
John
Kerry
I
am
so
proud
that
he's
going
to
be
with
us
on
the
show
today
and
take
over
some
of
the
jobs
that
Julie
had.
He
can
do
a
great
great
job
for
us
now.
We
want
to
talk
a
little
bit
about
the
adoption
animals
at
the
Oklahoma
City
Animal
Shelter.
We
have
so
many
animals
down
there.
Cats
dogs,
I
saw
horses.
D
A
E
A
E
A
E
A
E
I
think
just
the
staff
that
we
have
just
from
innocence,
so
I
get
to
work
a
lot
of
great
people
every
day
and
they
care
so
much
about
the
animals
and
what
we're
trying
to
do
and
they
really
buy
into
the
mission
and
our
goals
there-
that
animal
welfare
and
I
know
that's
with
their
help.
You
know
it's
only
going
to
be
a
few
short
years
and
we're
going
to
reach
the
goals
that
we
set
out
to
several
years
back
so.
E
You
know,
obviously,
we
came
out
and
said
we're
going
to
be
in
a
no-kill
city,
although
we
don't
used
to
turn
no
kill
card
as
often
anymore,
but
our
goal
is
still
the
same
and
we
originally
set
out
to
have
a
75-percent
of
live
release
right
there
at
animal
welfare.
We're
currently
sitting
at
about
seventy
percent.
So
we're
well
on
that
way
to
that
goal
and-
and
we
believe,
will
reach
in
the
next
year,
20.
A
Obviously
it
takes
so
much.
You
know
through
the
shelter,
fosters
the
volunteers,
everything
that
that
is
involved
in
this
kind
of
operation,
because
it
is
huge
and
of
course,
the
thing
that
all
of
us
want
I
being
an
advocate
him
with
my
show
and
everything
I
I
really
feel
that
we
would
be
so
privileged
to
be
put
out
of
business
right.
E
E
A
And
you
know
there
tell
me
everything
that
the
operation
does.
I
know
that
I
visited
recently
and
I
saw
you
had
a
veterinarian
down
there
and
you
do
the
spay
and
neuter
thing
which
is
so
important
and
and
of
course
the
to
me
as
an
animal
advocate
and
as
a
dog
trainer
trainers
are
so
important
and
you
even
get
people
coming
in
there
to
help
train.
Don't
you
yes,.
E
Yes,
we
have
a
large
volunteer
program,
we
have
well
over
100
volunteers.
Now
they
come
in
and
they
do
different
things
around
the
shelter
they
also
provide
fostering
in
their
homes
and
so
not
only
responsible
for
the
sheltering
there
at
the
shelter
we
have
animals
out
in
people's
homes
that
we
that
our
veterinarian
also
is
responsible
for
making
sure
they
stay
well
and
provide
them
treatment.
A
I
think
too,
that
the
next
right
next
door
I
think
central
co
humane
help
set
up
an
organization
there
that
kind
of
takes
them
in
too,
but
when
they
first
come
in
as
I
understand
it
and
kind
of
checks
them
out
to
be
sure
that
everything
is
ok
with
them
medically
in
that
sort
of
thing.
So
you
don't
you
have
less
a
chance
of
the
parvo
and
some
of
these
things
getting
through.
So
that's
an
important
factor,
so
you
do
cats,
dogs.
What
else
do
you
have
well.
A
And
frogs
and
yes,
we
do
well
I
think
it's
a
fantastic
organization
I
always
have
in
god
bless.
You
know.
When
catherine
was
there
such
a
good
friend
such
a
dear
person-
and
you
know
it's
just
exciting
I-
am
so
pleased.
You
know
that
you're
doing
this,
so
you
were
going
to.
We
were
going
to
kind
of
pitch
right
now
to
what
the
welfies.
What
is
this
that
I'm
hearing
that
Julie
used
to
do?
We.
D
A
C
A
C
C
In
the
summertime,
cruelty
seem
to
increase
one
of
the
things
that
people
don't
seem
to
realize
is
lack
of
water
and
shelter
or
shade
can
actually
lead
to
a
situation
that
gets
the
pets
in
trouble.
So
we
see
an
increase
in
the
summer
and
then
in
the
fall
which
we're
about
to
hit
people,
think.
Oh,
it's
getting
cooler
out
and
I
don't
have
to
provide
those
things
well,
they
still
have
to
because
the
daytime's
are
still
warm
enough
that
we
got
to
worry
about.
What's
going
on
with
them
out
there
absolutely.
A
Feel
so
sorry
for
the
Weathermen,
because,
generally
speaking,
there
sometimes
wrong.
So
we
can't
count
on
rain
or
we
can't
count
on
sun,
but
it
does
happen
and
it's
so
true.
We
can
wake
up
in
the
morning
with
a
40
degree
weather
and
then
it's
90
degrees
at
the
end
of
the
day
right.
So
how
is
a
person
supposed
to
take
care
of
that
kind
of
thing
with
their
animals?
Won't.
C
C
That
has
three
sides
in
a
roof
and
look
at
it
before
the
cold
weather
starts
coming
in
and
making
sure
it's
secure
and
that
they're
going
to
be
safe
and
comfortable
in
their
water
is
the
other
important
thing
make
sure
if
the
days
are
getting
hot
they're
going
to
need
that
water,
so
I'm
sure
it's
fresh
and
full
before
you
leave
in
the
days.
Oh.
A
F
A
A
C
A
E
I
think
we're
going
to
continue
to
do
what
we've
been
doing
in
I
will
say.
We
have
a
lot
of
things
to
work
on
on
lyndz
side
of
it
with
the
field
services,
but
look
very
much
forward
to
that
channel.
There's
a
lot
of
a
trying
to
come
more
efficient
there
and
try
to
be
able
to
serve
the
public
more
efficient
manner.
Excellent.
A
G
You
want
to
make
sure
that
your
animal
has
identification.
You
want
to
make
sure
that
your
animal
is
microchipped.
You
want
to
make
sure
that
there
are
tags
on
the
collar
with
your
name
and
phone
number
and
perhaps
an
alternate
number,
and
you
want
to
be
able
to
know
where
your
animal
is
at
all
times.
If
you
do
lose
your
animal,
there
are
several
things
that
you
can
do
that
we
can
help.

Did
you
know
that
the
arts
make
a
significant
impact
on
education,
the
economy
and
our
quality
of
life
in
Oklahoma,
providing
more
than
10,000
jobs?
Statewide
filtering
more
than
314
million
dollars
into
our
economy.
The
arts
create
all
kinds
of
beautiful
things
and
making
Oklahoma
an
even
better
place
to
live.
Is
the
most
beautiful
thing
of
all.
It
doesn't
take
a
big
donation
to
make
big
things
happen.
Support
allied
arts
today,
a
little
give
is
all.
I
A
Fun,
this
has
been
for
me:
I
have
so
enjoyed
it,
and
John
I
am
so
looking
forward
to
working
with
you
to
getting
an
update
on.
What's
going
on
the
Oklahoma
City
Animal
Shelter,
and
you
too
my
dear,
it's
always
good
to
know.
What's
going
on
out
in
the
field
as
they
say
so
guys
have
a
really
good
month
and
we'll
see
you
next
month
at
the
Oklahoma
City
Animal
Shelter.
A
J
Come
here
that
dog
has
a
thirsty
look
in
his
eye.
Did
you
know
that
it's
really
not
that
hard
to
save
water
like
here
in
the
sink,
don't
make
me
run
too
much
good
I'm.
Somebody
shut
me
off
now.
This
is
my
kind
of
party,
a
full
house.
Let's
roll
hey
we're
in
a
drought,
which
means
I'm
kind
of
a
big
deal.
So
save
me
really.
I
So
Oklahoma
City
Animal
Welfare
is
the
full
service
animal
organization
for
the
city
of
Oklahoma
City
we're
actually
the
only
animal
shelter
in
town.
So
that
means
we
take
in
any
animal
that
comes
through
our
door,
whether
they're,
healthy
or
sick
or
lost,
or
owner
turn-ins,
whether
it's
a
dog
or
a
cat
or
a
horse,
or
even
a
wild
animal
that
comes
through
our
door.
We
are
there
to
help
and
care
for
so
many
animals
that
are
displaced
and
ultimately
looking
for
new
homes.
K
It's
a
big
responsibility
about
24,000
animals
arrived
here
at
the
Oklahoma
City
Animal
Shelter
each
year,
taking
care
of
them
and
finding
them
homes
takes
a
lot
of
resources,
and
sometimes
there
isn't
enough
money
to
do
everything.
Our
animal
welfare
professionals
would
like
to
do.
That's
why
patrons
of
the
Oklahoma
City
Animal
Shelter
was
for
know.
F
I
Realized
that
there
were
people
willing
to
support
us,
but
we
needed
to
create
a
mechanism
to
help
them
support
us
and,
as
part
of
that,
more
conversation
happened,
and
this
idea
of
patrons
of
the
Oklahoma
City
Animal
Shelter
was
formed
and
before
we
knew
it,
there
were
all
these
people
wanting
to
be
part
of
it
and
all
these
people
creating
the
infrastructure
and
the
mechanism
so
that
they
can
work
with
us
and
raise
funds.
A.
B
City
is
judged
by
how
we
take
care
of
its
animals.
Oklahoma
City
has
shown
a
tremendous
rebirth
in
the
last
15
or
20
years.
One
of
the
areas
that
we
have
grown
significantly
and
have
advanced
significantly
is
in
the
animal
in
the
animal
welfare
realm.
There
is
no
greater
place
to
put
your
money,
no
bigger
impact
that
you
can
have
on
the
oklahoma
city
community
in
the
animal
community
than
by
giving
to
patrons
and
helping
to
support
the
Oklahoma
City
Animal
Shelter.

of
