🐾 Altus, we need your help. 🐾
The Altus Animal Shelter - City Government Department is hosting a Regional Adoption Event on November 15, and our dream is simple — to give every animal a chance to be seen, loved, and maybe even find their forever home.
But to make that dream possible, we need YOU!

We’re looking for:

✨ Vendors who want to be part of something meaningful
🍔 Food trucks willing to help draw a crowd
🎶 Entertainers who can fill the day with joy

Our budget is small, but our hearts are huge.
If you’re willing to lend your time, talent, or presence — not for profit, but for the pure goodness of helping animals and bringing our town together — we would be beyond grateful.
Even if every animal doesn’t get adopted that day, the love, laughter, and support from our community will remind them (and us) that they are not forgotten. ❤️

📅 November 15 | 10 AM – 6 PM
📍 Altus Community Center | 401 Falcon Rd
💌 Please email HGilpatrick@altusok.gov

⚠️ **Gas Line Maintenance Notice**⚠️

The gas company will be purging and performing maintenance on gas lines around mid-morning today in the southwest part of Altus, near the 824 Hickory Street area.

Residents in the surrounding neighborhoods may notice a temporary gas odor during this process. This is expected and does not indicate a safety concern.

We appreciate your understanding as this routine work is completed.

🚨SCAM ALERT🚨
The Altus Police Department has been inundated with reports regarding various scams. The most recent report we have received involved scammers posting fake rental ads onto social media for homes they do not own and/or control.
In these scam ads, scammers may send rental applications and lease agreements by email, requesting application fees, rent, or security deposits. After payment, victims are never given access to the home.
💡Some tips to help protect yourself 💡
✅Do not send any money before you tour the property.
✅Do not sign a written lease without first verifying the owner or a licensed property manager.
✅Confirm ownership through county records or by requesting identification and proof of ownership.
✅Search the address and photos online to see if the listing appears elsewhere.
✅Insist on meeting at the property.
✅Be cautious if the price is far below market or if the “owner” changes phone numbers every few days.
✅Avoid gift cards, wire transfers, and bitcoin.
✅Use secure and traceable payment methods.
✅Be cautious when you see a "for rent" sign in the front yard on the ad photo. A lot of these are photoshopped into the photo.
If you suspect a scam... stop contact with the scammer and do not send money. Save screenshots, messages, receipts, phone numbers, and profile links. Report the incident to the Altus Police Department non-emergency line at 580-482-4121, or in person at the police department. And lastly, share this notice to help others stay safe.
