Lost pets living at Midwest City shelter

About 20 displaced residents have taken their pets to the Midwest City Animal Welfare shelter for temporary keeping, said Jay Eskey, a code officer helping Animal Welfare officials. About 10 lost animals have been brought to the shelter after the fires last night. To report a missing pet, call the Animal Welfare division at 427-6640 or stop by the shelter, 7221 NE 36.

Animal workers helped reunite animals to their owners Thursday night, said Catherine English, superintendent of Oklahoma City Animal Welfare. About a dozen loose animals were captured and returned to their owners.
