The mission of the Cheyenne Animal Shelter is to enhance the quality of life for animals and people through compassion, respect and education.
For nearly 40 years, the Cheyenne Animal Shelter has extended the hand of kindness to neglected and abused companion animals in Cheyenne and Laramie County. Today, we are involved in an ever-expanding effort to accomplish a mission that goes beyond sheltering the homeless and unwanted pet population. Our goal is to find a home for every adoptable companion animal brought to our door. To reach this goal, we must increase the number of pets we place and decrease the number of pets relinquished. We hope to achieve this goal through ongoing community relations programs, such as humane education, offsite adoptions and outreach.
Night Drop Boxes
Did you know we have night drop boxes in our receiving hallway? We open them every night after hours and the animals placed in them after we close for the evening are taken care of first thing in the morning. They are heated, have fresh water and a blanket in them to keep the pets happy until morning. If you ever find a lost pet at night you can still bring them to us incase you just cannot have them in your home until we open again.
Lost & Found Support
We are proud to introduce the after hours lost and found support hotline. If your pet has gone missing or you have found a pet after Cheyenne Animal Shelter hours of operation we now have a volunteer who is able to help you reunite that found pet or help you look for your missing pet. Please call (307)214-5779, please note this phone line is NOT for animal control calls. If you have a concern with animal control please contact them during regular business hours or if you have an animal related emergency please call 911.

The Challenge does not start until June and goes through August, and in that time, in order to win we will be challenged to double the adoptions we had during that time last year! I know it sounds difficult but we are more than excited to be a part of this program.
