Tulsa animal services outlines staffing, budget plan for new shelter as intakes climb City animal services told the council the new shelter will require more staff and space to handle rising intakes and improve live‑release outcomes. Staff proposed phased FY27–FY29 personnel additions and flagged an estimated $500,000 roof need and roughly $190,000 in annual maintenance at the existing facility.
