A
Hi
I'm
Julie
bank,
the
superintendent
of
animal
welfare
for
the
city
of
Oklahoma
City,
and
welcome
to
the
februari
edition
of
animal
tales,
TV
the
show
about
animals
in
oklahoma
city
and
the
people
who
love
them
with
me.
Right
now
is
my
co-host.
Scooter
and
scooter
is
a
10
year
old
schnauzer
who
came
to
us
as
a
stray,
as
you
could
tell
he's
a
little
bit
scraggly.
So
he
needs
a
haircut
we're
going
to
get
that
happen
right
away,
but
he
really
is
a
terrific
boy.
A
A
We're
also
going
to
share
with
you
volunteer
opportunities
so
that
you
can
hands-on
work
with
animals
come
into
the
shelter
or
even
work
in
the
community,
to
really
make
a
difference
and
we're
going
to
talk
to
you
about
cats
and
things
that
you
could
do
to
help
cats
that
you
see
in
the
community,
whether
they're,
feral
or
own
cats
that
might
need
support.
We
are
an
organization
that
relies
on
the
help
and
the
support
of
individuals
like
you
and
this
entire
show
is
going
to
be
about
how
you
can
make
a
difference
and
get
involved.
A
B
C
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?
Yes,
the
arts
create
all
kinds
of
beautiful
things
and
making
Oklahoma
and
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
it
takes.
Welcome.
A
Back
to
the
show
right
now,
I
have
two
very
important
people
who
are
here
to
tell
us
about
a
new
organization
that
has
been
formed
to
help
Oklahoma
City
animals
continue
our
growth
and
continue
to
do
great
things
for
animals
with
me
is
Sally
Bentley
and
Alex
Yaffe.
Welcome
to
the
show.
Thank
you
thanks.
E
A
A
E
I've
done
a
lot
of
volunteering
in
the
community
and
I've
always
loved
animals.
I've
always
had
pets,
and
several
years
ago
I
came
to
realize
what
needs
we
had
in
the
community
and
we
had.
We
were
having
a
lot
of
animals
euthanized
and
so
I
really
applaud.
What's
been
done
by
the
animal
welfare
group
here
and
I'm,
hoping
that
this
will
really
help
others
become
involved
and
be
able
to
support
financially
with
their
private
funding.
To
even
extend
to
you
know,
save
more
and
more
animals,
both
cats
and
dogs
and
just
raise
awareness,
great.
D
I'm,
a
man
of
many
hats,
none
of
which
fit
very
well
I'm
a
lawyer
by
day
I
help
run
pediatric
clinics.
My
wife's,
a
pediatrician
I
help
her
do
that
and
I've
been
involved
in
animal
welfare
for
about
ten
years,
I
started
a
Labrador
Retriever
breed-specific
rescue
back
in
2006
and
kids
and
jobs,
and
other
things
got
me
out
of
that
which
it's
still
still
running,
but
got
the
opportunity
to
get
back
involved
in
an
animal
welfare
and
super
excited
about
this
project
in
in
helping
Oklahoma
City
animals.
So.
A
D
The
best
thing
you
can
do
to
support
patrons
of
the
Oklahoma
City
Animal
Shelter
is
give
money.
I
know
that
that
seems
a
very
forward
and
rank,
but
we
can't
survive
and
we
can't
help
animals
without
money
and
and
the
way
the
way
to
do
that
is
to
either
email
us
at
patrons.
Ok,
c
@
gmail.com
or
you
can
send
your
tax
deductible
donation
to
p.o
box,
1,
4,
430,
oklahoma,
city,
oklahoma,
73,
113,
and
that
money
is,
is
going
to
be
used
to
support
specific
needs
of
the
Oklahoma
City
Animal
Welfare
division.
So.
A
On
behalf
of
the
animals
at
the
animal
shelter,
I
can't
thank
you
and
the
rest
of
the
board
and
the
rest
of
the
donors
to
patrons
enough
for
all
the
work
that
you've
already
done
to
make
a
difference
and
how
excited
we
are
about.
What's
going
to
happen,
next,
I
really
want
to
thank
you
very
much
for
being
here
today
and
I
am
excited
to
hear
about,
what's
going
to
happen
with
our
partnership
and
our
growth
and
how
much
money
is
going
to
come
in
to
help
us
as
we
continue
down
the
road.
H
That
dog
has
a
thirsty
looking
as
I
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?
Could
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

G
G
G
J
N
I
Are

gonna
do
with
all
that
leftover
paint
storing
items
like
this
can
be
hazardous
dumping

the
trash

Fortunately,
you
have
a
choice.
Tanks
and
other
household
chemicals
are
accepted
at
Oklahoma,
City's

waste
collection
facility.

You.
A
Welcome
back
to
the
show,
we've
been
hearing
all
about
ways
that
you
can
get
involved
with
animals
in
Oklahoma,
City
and
right
now.
We're
going
to
talk
to
you
about
our
volunteer
program
at
the
shelter
with
me
is
Madeline
Llewellyn,
one
of
our
volunteers
and
Tina
Rimmer.
Our
volunteer
coordinator,
welcome
to
the
show,
thank
you
for
being
here.
Tina
tell
us
about
this.
Guy.
S
S
A
S
Do
a
variety
things
of
the
shelter
we
have
lots
opportunities,
some
of
our
volunteers.
Do
laundry
and
cleaning
a
lot
of
them
walk
the
dogs
spend
time
socializing
cats
and
dogs
at
the
shelter.
We
also
have
opportunities
for
people
for
administrative
help,
foster
program
and
things
that
they
can
do
from
home
or
at
the
shelter.
So.
A
K
I'm,
a
photographer
come
out
to
the
shelter
about
once
a
week
to
take
pictures
of
all
the
many
dogs
and
cats
that
need
homes
and
I.
Just
noticed
that
when
looking
at
the
pictures
online
that
sometimes
it's
really
hard
to
see
what
the
dogs
really
look
like
when
they're
behind
the
cages-
and
so
I
wanted
to
be
able
to
come
in
and
get
good
pictures
of
these
dogs
to
help
get
them
at
home.
And
how
does
it
make
you
feel
to
be
a
volunteer?
Oh,
it's
so
much
fun.
A
K
S
S
It's
really
exciting
because
we
know
about
a
lot
of
different
areas
where
we
need
a
lot
of
help,
and
so
it's
really
exciting
to
see
new
volunteers
come
in
all
the
time
it
kind
of
helps
motivate
our
older
volunteers
they've
been
there
a
while
it
makes
them
feel
good
to
see
new
volunteers
come
in,
so
they
know
that
all
that
is
not
on
their
shoulders.
You
know
to
try
to
help
us
with
all
the
work
that
we
have
to
do
to
take
care
of
the
animals
did.
A
S
Take
all
different
types
of
volunteers:
yes,
we
have
volunteers,
we
have
our
kids
for
OKC
animals
program
for
younger
volunteers.
They
do
have
to
be
with
the
parent
if
they're
under
the
age
of
18,
and
they
come
up
to
the
shelter
to
volunteer
and
they
have
to
be
over
the
age
of
13
to
be
able
to
handle
the
animals.
But
we
have
volunteers
ranging
from
all
ages.
Young
and
old.
We
have
a
volunteer
that
comes
in.
Does
laundry
that's
inner
late
80s,
so
we
have
opportunities
for
everyone.
Now.
S
A
Thanks
for
sharing
information
about
becoming
a
volunteer
and
special
thanks
to
you
for
giving
of
your
time
all
the
time
to
come
in
and
make
a
difference,
it's
folks
like
you
that
are
really
helping
us
do
what
we
need
to
do,
and
we
thank
you
for
all
that
right.
Now
we're
going
to
hear
our
welfare
tip
of
the
month.
It's
about
community
cats
and
I'm,
going
to
turn
you
over
to
David
Wagner.
M
Hi
everyone
I'm
Dave
Wagner
today,
I'd
like
to
talk
about
community
cats.
That's
one
of
the
many
programs
we
have
here
at
Oklahoma,
City,
Animal,
Welfare.
The
community
cat
program
is
one
of
the
main
things
we
do
here
in
Oklahoma,
City,
Animal
Welfare
many
neighborhoods
have
not
only
feral
cats,
but
just
free-roaming
cats,
and
it's
left
unstated
or
anoud.
That
population
can
quickly
get
out
of
control.
So
what
we
do
is
we
take
these
cats
we
spay
or
neuter
them.
M
Vaccinate
them
ear
tip
them,
so
we
can
identify
them
as
community
cats
and
we
put
them
back
in
the
population.
Eventually,
those
colonies
will
phase
out
addition
to
the
community
cat
program
that
we
do
in
conjunction
with
Central
Oklahoma
Maine
society.
We
also
have
a
program
called
the
barn
cat
program.
If
you
do
have
a
barn
and
a
rodent
problem,
we
can
release
one
of
these
feral
cats
in
your
barn
and
they
will
help
with
the
road
population.
That's
our
tip.
For
the
month,
I'm
Dave
Wagner.
A
You
want
to
adopt
any

the
animals
that
