Dog & Cat Shelter, Inc.

Dog & Cat Shelter, Inc. Our Vision: Every home has a loving pet and every pet has a loving home. Our shelter also has individual outdoor runs with inside loafing areas.

Our mission: To be a safe haven for stray and surrendered pets until they can be adopted, rehabilitated or returned to their owner. We have room for individual accommodations for 38 dogs and 98 cats, but have had up to 65 dogs and 165 cats at one time. The shelter has accommodations for new arrivals, for those ready for adoption and for sick or injured animals. We have three 160' x 44' play areas

and a half mile circular walking path, where volunteers regularly exercise the dogs awaiting adoption. The Shelter houses an average of 150 animals per day. We are a No Kill shelter which means we only euthanize for extreme injury, illness or extreme aggression. Our special programs include Better Canine and Senior Dog Project.

‼️ WE NEED YOUR HELP! ‼️

Meet Petunia! Petunia came to us as a stray with HORRIBLE teeth. We estimate her to be about 11 years old and overall really healthy. But we can tell her mouth is hurting so bad and it is affecting her day to day. We are looking to raise funds to get her a much needed dental! Petunia will likely need most of her teeth extracted. If you would like to help this pretty little flower, please consider DONATING!

HOW TO DONATE:
🐾 Stop in at 84 East Ridge Rd with cash, check, or card donations.

☀️ Meet Leo ☀️

🐾 We estimate Leo be a 7 month old Shepherd mix. This energetic and handsome guy is ready to find his forever home! He is such a good boy and is always ready for a fun adventure. He can be a little timid at first with meeting new people, but it doesn't take long for him to show his brave side. He is extremely playful and loves to be around the other dogs as well. He does still seem to have that puppy mentality so some basic obedience training will be beneficial for him. With still being a young dog, he can tend to get on the other dogs nerves. He's just being his silly self! He absolutely loves treats and will do almost anything for them. From what we've seen here, he would most likely do well in a household with other dogs. We are unsure how he would do in a household with cats as of right now.

☀️ If Leo has stolen your heart like he has with us, please call 307-674-7694 or visit www.dogandcatshelter.org

🌼 Meet Vesper 🌼

🌱 Miss Vesper is estimated to be about 4 years old. She is officially our longest resident here at the shelter! She blessed us with her presence back in May of 2022. For over 3 years now, she has not had a cozy home to call her own. This girl is bright and full of sunshine. She loves to play and express her silly self. Vesper came to us with her two siblings, who have since been adopted. She's ready to experience the world outside the shelter, just like her siblings have been able to do. Vesper is the perfect mix of introverted and extroverted. In general, she's the most perfect cat you could ask for. She enjoys being outside, so she could be a perfect shop cat as well! She gets along well with the other cats here but would do best in a cat only environment. Just like a typical cat, she's not the biggest fan of dogs.

🌼 If Vesper sounds like the puurfect kitty for you, please call the shelter at 307-674-7694 or visit ww.dogandcatshelter.org

Our Story

We have room for individual accommodations for 38 dogs and 98 cats, but have had up to 65 dogs and 165 cats at one time. Our new shelter can accommodate roughly 3 times the animals that the old shelter could handle (18 dogs & 48 cats). The old shelter didn’t have facilities to separate animals but the new one has accommodations for new arrivals, for those ready for adoption and for sick or injured animals. The new shelter also has individual outdoor runs with inside loafing areas. We also have three 160' x 44' play areas and a half mile circular walking path, where volunteers regularly exercise the dogs awaiting adoption.
