16 OKC Pets • March/April 2021 Earl’s Rib Palace Born and bred right here in OKC, Earl’s Rib Palace has been the definition of Oklahoma BBQ since 1996. Earl’s is owned and operated by lifelong friends who grew up in OKC. Their passion was, and will always be, to create BBQ and a welcoming destination for anyone wanting affordable, authentic BBQ. Earl’s BBQ is about more than a good sauce. “It’s about the process and the people.” At Earl’s Rib Palace in Bricktown, you’ll not only find delicious BBQ but also a staff that’s wel- coming to both you and your pet. Pet owners can bring along their pets to enjoy spring days on the shaded pet-friendly patio while taking in scenic river views. Dogs of all sizes are welcome and receive water bowls, dog treats and maybe a head rub or two from the pet-loving staff, says General Manager Sidney Brown. “Pets are a big part of many families, and with us being a family-centric restaurant, we couldn’t imagine asking you to leave out one of your family members,” says Brown, who owns two cuddly black cats of his own. McIntyre Law As a pet-friendly business, McIntyre Law believes pets are important, bringing enjoyment and emotional support to their owners. Many McIntyre Law employees have pets of their own and a soft spot for all animals in general. One of McIntyre’s pet-friendly attributes is allowing employees to bring their pets to work. “At McIntyre Law, it’s not uncommon for employees to bring their dogs to the office on occasion,” says Attorney Jordan Klingler. “We also enjoy having guests with pets in our office,” she adds. “Any time a pet is in the office, we all light up and come out of our offices to love on the dogs and hang out. “Whenever there is a stray dog near the office, someone makes a point to try and help the animal, find the owner, and get food and water,” says Klingler. “We even feed the geese in our parking lot every year.” Wyndam Place Senior Residences Wyndam Place Senior Residences, located in Norman, recog- nizes the importance of pets to many in its senior community. Oftentimes, residents live alone, and animals provide much needed companionship. Small animals (20 pounds and under) are always welcome. In addition to its pet friendliness, Wyndam Place provides ac- tivities to further give residents a social connection and improve their quality of life during the golden years. First-rate mainte- nance staff and top-notch community managers work diligently to create a place you will be excited to call home. With Fido or Fluffy by your side, you can make Wyndam your new home sweet home.
