We are excited to announce the 3rd Annual Poppy Love 5k "In Memory of Poppy"!

Through help from Bella SPCA's Veterinary Assistance Program, we are happy to report that Poppy made a full recovery and the client wanted to help with a fundraiser! Sadly, Poppy passed away in February of 2025 so we are continuing to honor her memory through this annual event.red heart

_"SERVING AS A LIFELINE OF SUPPORT, HOPE, AND CARE FOR THE PEOPLE OF OKLAHOMA AND THEIR PETS."_

BELLA SPCA https://www.bellaspca.org 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 through Bella SPCA's Non-Profit Veterinary Hospital

Every year thousands of animals are euthanized or die because the people who love them cannot financially absorb the cost of veterinary care. At Bella, we believe every animal deserves to receive the best possible care regardless of the owners ability to pay. When an owner brings an animal into Bella SPCA's Non-Profit Hospital for care and cannot afford the cost, the organization can help through our veterinary assistance program.
