🐾 Found a lost pet in Owasso? You can now check for a microchip yourself!

The Owasso Animal Control Division has installed new self-service Check the Chip Scanning Stations, giving Good Samaritans access to microchip scanners 24/7.

These stations can help reunite lost pets with their families more quickly — without requiring a trip to an animal shelter or assistance from a pet care professional when it isn’t needed. Keeping lost pets out of shelters also allows staff to focus more resources on animals that are neglected, surrendered, or otherwise need care.

📍 Self-help scanners are located at:

🐶 Owasso Police Department, 111 N. Main St. — customer parking area
🐱 Owasso Fire Department, 11933 E. 116th St. N. — customer parking area

Thanks to Best Friends Animal Society for providing the stations (designed by AKC Reunite) through their “Return to Home” grant.

Rogers County: Countywide 14-day Burn Ban in Effect

Quick facts: The Rogers County Board of County Commissioners enacted a 14-day countywide burn ban during an emergency meeting this morning on September 2, 2026 effective immediately, citing extreme fire danger conditions across the county.

——

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Rogers County Burn Ban Takes Effect Following Emergency Commissioners Meeting

CLAREMORE, OKLA. - The Rogers County Board of County Commissioners approved an emergency burn ban during a special meeting held on September 2, 2026, after determining that extreme fire danger conditions exist throughout the county.

The resolution was adopted based on severe drought conditions identified by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), minimal rainfall forecast over the next three days, and a significantly higher-than-normal number of fire incidents occurring across Rogers County and the region. The action was taken with the documented concurrence of a majority of local municipal and rural fire department chiefs.

Under the burn ban, it is unlawful to set fire to grass, brush, forests, crops, or other wildlands, as well as conduct outdoor burning activities such as campfires, bonfires, or burning trash and debris that could potentially start a wildfire.

The burn ban will remain in effect for up to 14 days, through September 15, 2026, unless lifted earlier by the Board of County Commissioners.

County officials urge all residents to use extreme caution with any outdoor activities that could create sparks or ignite dry vegetation. With ongoing drought conditions and elevated wildfire risk, public cooperation is essential to protect lives, property, and emergency responders.

Approved by Commissioners:
Dan DeLozier, District 1
Steve Hendrix, District 2
Ron Burrows, District 3 Chairman
