Bella SPCA is a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization based in Oklahoma City created to assist low-income, elderly, or terminally ill pet owners with the cost of veterinary care when it cannot be afforded, and to provide foster homes and find permanent loving homes for rescued animals. Every year thousands of animals are euthanized or die because the people who love them cannot financially absorb the cost of veterinary care. Stray and abandoned animals have even fewer options when brought into a clinic or veterinary office with no owner to pay for their care. At Bella SPCA, we believe every animal deserves to receive the best possible care regardless of the owner’s ability to pay.

The Oasis Sanctuary is a Rescue and Retirement facility for exotic birds, predominantly CITES I and II endangered birds. We offer birds a stable and loving home for the duration of their natural lives. We do not sell or breed birds. We do not offer birds for adoption. Many of The Oasis birds come from other rehabilitation and/or adoption programs where qualified personnel determined it was not in the bird's best interest to be placed in private homes. Some of our birds have "special needs", are physically handicapped or challenged requiring unique living or feeding situations. Several have been bounced from home to home, often being physically and/or emotionally abused and have simply become too fearful of people to be companions any longer. A number of The Oasis birds are "retired" breeders, or other birds originally imported for production purposes, which, due to age, infirmity or temperament often would be facing euthanasia. Because many of our birds are not interested in or are incapable of human interaction, they are housed with the same or similar, compatible species in non-breeding pairs or small flocks in large outdoor flights.

SO WE WENT FROM A RAT RESCUE TO A SMALL ANIMAL RESCUE; BASICALLY NO CATS, DOGS, OR BIRDS. WE EVEN TAKE IN REPTILES, BUT THAT IS BECAUSE WE KNOW THE PRESIDENT OF THE HERPETOLOGICAL SOCIETY (WHO THINKS OUR AMBASSADORS ARE AWESOME) AND HE HELPS BY CARING FOR SURRENDERED REPTILES.

SMALL BUT WE HAVE A LOT OF HEART AND PASSION FOR WHAT WE ARE DOING. WE HOPE TO CHANGE MINDS AWAY FROM THE SIGMAS ABOUT RATS AND OTHER ANIMALS.

Like all humane groups, MAGDRL is in the unique position of helping both humans and pets. In our case, the pets are Great Danes and mixed Dane dogs, and the people are all those who have or want the companionship of the breed or, often, just dogs in general. MAGDRL helps people to determine the right breed of dog for their lifestyle, find healthy and companionable Danes that fit their circumstances, find loving replacement homes for Danes they can no longer keep, become knowledgeable about the care and training of their Great Danes, resolve their Danes physical/behavioral problem, overcome the grief at the loss of their loved pet, and stretch their tax dollar by assuming the Dane burden from public shelters. MAGDRL helps Danes by providing for the rescue and care of those who have been abandoned, neglected, and/or abused by their previous owners, spay/neuter and provide medical treatment as necessary to return the Dane back to good health, supply training/socialization to ensure their adaptability to new, good homes, and work to place rescue Danes to people who provide secure, loving, and healthy homes.

Food Empowerment Project seeks to create a more just and sustainable world by recognizing the power of one’s food choices. We encourage healthy food choices that reflect a more compassionate society by spotlighting the abuse of animals on farms, the depletion of natural resources, unfair working conditions for produce workers, and the unavailability of healthy foods in low-income areas. By making informed choices, we can prevent injustices against animals, people, and the environment. We also work to discourage negligent corporations from pushing unhealthy foods into low-income areas and empower people to make healthier choices by growing their own fruits and vegetables. In all of our work, Food Empowerment Project seeks specifically to empower those with the fewest resources.

To work within our community to create personal connections between people, animals and their shared environment. By bringing humans and animals together in educational settings, we hope to cultivate a greater appreciation for the animals with which we share this planet. We also seek to help specific animals in need through our rescue, rehabilitation, fostering and adoption activities. Our work is guided by the belief that we are a better species when we connect with other species on a personal level.
