Editor's note: Some animal shelters may still have restrictions due to illness. Please contact all area shelters before visiting.

Bethany Animal Control Shelter: Closed for adoptions due to vet clinic closing. Hours are 8 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Fridays, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. the first Saturday of the month, 5100 N College, 405-789-3431.

Pita, ID #426457, came into the shelter as a stray on Feb. 22. She's not a purebred dog, but she is pure fun. This 8-month-old, 33-pound husky mix pup prances around and enjoys the moment. Playtime with dogs and people is her favorite thing. Pita can climb a chain link fence so her new yard needs a 6-foot wood fence. The adoption fee is waived for any dog that has been at the shelter more than 30 days. To meet Pita, go to the Oklahoma City Animal Shelter at 2811 SE 29 between noon and 5 p.m. Tuesday through Saturday.
