Event summary

Join us for the 3rd Annual Poppy Love 5K on Saturday, June 3, 2023, in the vibrant heart of Oklahoma City, Oklahoma!

This year's Poppy Love 5K is not just a race; it's a celebration of community and compassion.

"Serving as a lifeline of support, hope, and care for the people of Oklahoma and their pets."

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 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.
