Episode Details

When Oklahoma’s heat index soared past 115 degrees, the Owasso Animal Shelter turned to a $500 grant from Best Friends Society for a lifesaving solution: a giant shade structure to keep pups and kitties cool during summer’s harshest days. Gone are the days of just one lonely tree — now, animals can play safely outdoors, thanks to this clever, umbrella-style canopy paired with a misting system. Staff say even the most heat-loving pets only stay out 30-45 minutes, wisely knowing when to retreat. With 11 dogs and 3 cats ready for adoption, the shelter’s grateful for the upgrade — and urgently needs volunteers to help these furry friends burn off energy and find their forever homes.
