Nexus Equine was founded in 2016 to fill a massive void in equine welfare in Oklahoma. The state of Oklahoma is within the top 5 states in the nation for population of horses, yet there are significantly less resources per capita available here than in most other states.  

In 2023, Nexus Equine recognized similar gaps in services and lifesaving efforts for dogs and cats in Oklahoma and, with the support of the board of directors and donors, made the strategic decision to extend the organization’s mission to include not only horses but also dogs and cats. This expansion extends our mission, while our equine programs remain steadfast in their impact.

Operating in alignment with Nexus Equine, Nexus Pets bridges the gaps between people and resources for pets across Oklahoma. Our primary goal is to connect communities with pets, reducing the number of at-risk animals through education, outreach, and adoption initiatives.

With Nexus Equine transitioning to Nexus Animals, our commitment to comprehensive animal welfare deepens. By addressing the needs of at-risk horses, dogs and cats through education, outreach, and placement programs, Nexus is poised to enhance its positive impact in Oklahoma.
