An Oklahoma animal shelter claims the response to its Area 51-themed post has been “out of this world” after photos of the facility’s protective, “alien-fighting” pets went viral. In the days since, OKC Animal Welfare has confirmed that some of the animals featured in the post, including Piper, a pointer-and-boxer mix, and Sam, a Labrador mix, have been adopted.
Over $2,250 has been raised for the Patrons of the Oklahoma City Animal Shelter too. In several alien-themed posts, the shelter referenced the joking online “plan” to raid Area 51 by asking for people to “come storm our shelter,” and included dogs in tin foil hats.
