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.

๐ŸŽƒ Meet our final featured black kitty for the month, Diablo! ๐ŸŽƒ

๐Ÿญ We estimate Mr. Diablo to be about 3 years old. He has not been with us for long, but he has become quite a favorite. Diablo will look at you with the most sweet and loving eyes. He is ready for his forever home! We are still learning more about his personality everyday. When he first came in he was not a super happy camper. However, he warmed up to everybody very quickly. He wanted all the cuddles and attention he could get instantly. Looking for a mouser? Look no further, Diablo would be a great fit! He loves to chase and play with everything in sight. From what we have seen here, Diablo would be best fit in a home with no other furry friends. He likes to be the center of attention!

๐ŸŽƒ If this handsome guys sounds like the puurfect fit for you, please call 307-674-7694 or visit www.dogandcatshelter.org

And once again, Happy Halloween!!!

๐Ÿฆ† Hi, my name is Ducky! ๐Ÿฆ†

๐Ÿ’š โ€œYep, yep, yep!โ€ The shelter has estimated me to be a 1 year old Shepherd mix. I have not been at the shelter for very long, but I have fallen in love with everyone Iโ€™ve met so far! Meeting new people can be a little scary for me, but I am a brave boy. I warm up pretty quickly to people and once Iโ€™m fully warmed up, I like to let out my goofy side! I have started to gain quite a bit of confidence during my stay here. My favorite thing to do is play, zoom and twirl around outside. My favorite game is to play ball, but only if I donโ€™t have to give it back to you!

๐Ÿ’š Iโ€™m still a young lad so apparently I still have a lot to learn. Iโ€™d really like to get adopted soon so I can learn a few new tricks. Not only that, but I want a best bud to spend the rest of my life with. You have to really like to cuddle because I am a huge cuddle bug. Oh, and you have to love going on walks and giving treats too. That is a โ€œmust, must, must!โ€ I have gotten along well with the other dogs here and made a few friends. I may do well in a home with cats, Iโ€™m not too sure yet. โ€œNope, nope, nope!โ€ All around, I think Iโ€™m a pretty cool guy, not to brag or anythingโ€ฆ

๐Ÿฆ† What do you think? Do I sound like YOUR next best bud? Call 307-674-7694 or visit www.dogandcatshelter.org

๐Ÿ Meet Genesis! ๐Ÿ

๐Ÿ„ Genesis is our gorgeous 3 year old spotted land seal! Genesis had a very difficult upbringing. She originally came to us extremely malnourished and very untrusting of people. She has shown so much growth since her first day here. She has also gained the healthy amount of weight she needed to be the happy dog she is today. Genesis can be timid but is SUCH a brave girl. Given her history, she is not socialized and is searching for someone to give her that extra love and attention. Not only that, she needs a lot of patience and time to be able to build a loving bond.

๐Ÿ„ Genesis enjoys spending time outside and would be the best companion to go on adventures with. Just look at that sweet smile of hers, she is so ready for her next journey in life. With the proper introductions, we believe Genesis would do great with other animals in a household. Once this girl is comfortable and understands that life isnโ€™t so scary, she will flourish!

๐Ÿ If youโ€™re ready to take on the darling pooch, please call 307-674-7694 or visit www.dogandcatshelter.org

๐ŸŽƒ Introooducing our 3rrrrd black kitty for Octooober! ๐ŸŽƒ

Meet Hilde!

๐Ÿ‘ป We estimate Miss Hilde to be about 9 years old, she is our sweet elderly lady that resides in our cat hallway. She needs to always be in or near our food room. She is an absolute lover of food and snacks so she needs to be close to them. Hilde has such a sweet soul and is desperate to find a home that is just as loving as she is. Not only is she as sweet as pie, but she is easy going as well. When she first came in she was a bit shy, so she might hide when getting used to new surroundings. Sheโ€™s not a fan of being picked up but she loves to cuddle and snuggle. One of the things that makes Hilde so unique is her meow! She has a deep raspy meow that you canโ€™t help but fall in love with! She will let you know what is on her mind anytime of the day. Especially when sheโ€™s begging you for treats. From what weโ€™ve seen here, she could do well in a home with a few other calm animals.

๐ŸŽƒ If Hilde seems like the cuddle bug for you during this crisp fall month, please call 307-674-7694 or visit www.dogandcatshelter.org

๐Ÿ–ค Meet Celeste ๐Ÿ–ค

๐ŸŒ Continuing to feature the black cats of October, we just knew this 2 year old beauty had to be next! Celeste is your typical black kitty. She is very observant if you couldn't already tell by her colossal pupils. She loves to watch over everything. She can get stressed out in new and overwhelming environments, but hey, we all do. Celeste likes to take her time meeting new people and would rather build a bond before she puts her whole heart out there. She's a very very playful girl and loves to chase after toys. She would make for a puurfect mouser! From what we've seen here, Celeste would prefer to be the only animal in the household. Because Celeste and overwhelming environments do not mix, a home without young children would be best suited for her.

๐Ÿ–ค If Celeste sounds like the perfect October kitty for you, please call 307-674-7694 or visit www.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 didnโ€™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.
