Oklahoma Livestock Relief Coalition

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The Oklahoma Sheriffs' Association is a recent Charter and Executive Committee Member of the Oklahoma Livestock Relief Coalition. Recognizing that the current drought and hay shortage may result in unprecedented numbers of neglected and starving livestock, the Oklahoma Livestock Relief Coalition was formed with the mission of providing an opportunity for concerned citizens to donate funds which will be used to respond to the immediate needs of law enforcement in the State of Oklahoma with large animal neglect, abuse, and abandonment cases.  Donated funds will be used to provide feed and reasonable emergency care for seized animals during the initial thirty (30) days phase of these cases.  View the guidelines of the Oklahoma Livestock Relief Coalition.

If you know of someone who would like to make a monetary donation to the fund, they can contact the Oklahoma Veterinary Medical Foundation a 501(c)3 at www.okvma.org   or send to OVMF, PO Box 14521, Oklahoma City, OK 73113. All money raised will go directly to the OLRC fund.

The web link for the OLRC is listed below:

UPDATE 2/3/2012: During the Oklahoma Veterinary Medical Association Conference last week they held a silent auction to raise funds for the Oklahoma Livestock Relief Coalition. We received the following information from Dr. Carey Floyd that they had raised close to $20,000.00 during the auction. All of this will go into the coalition fund for the benefit of law enforcement. Congratulations to Dr. Floyd and all of the members of the Oklahoma Veterinary Medical Association and those who participated in the auction for a fantastic start to this fund.

Surplus Property

The Association has agreed to distribute surplus law enforcement property for the state and Sheriffs. Below you will find links to the items that we have in stock along with those items located at Sheriffs offices across the state. There is no charge for the items located at the OSA and are on a first come first serve basis. The association request that you pick the items up at our office as we cannot ship them to your location. We also suggest that you give us a call about the availability of any item as this list may change before the next posting. We encourage all Sheriffs to consider offering their surplus property to a fellow Sheriff as a opposed to selling it for pennies on the dollar. Remember the old saying "one mans trash is another mans treasure".

NO PHONE CALLS

 

The Oklahoma Sheriffs' Association does not utilize telephone solicitors for any purpose. If you should receive telephone calls soliciting donations for the Oklahoma Sheriffs' Association they are doing so fraudulently and the association recommends contacting the Oklahoma Attorney Generals office to report the phone call.
