Become a Partner in Building a Pet-Inclusive Community

The Cheyenne Animal Shelter is transforming what it means to be a community shelter, and we want you to be part of it! Our Pets! Welcome program invites businesses, nonprofits, and community groups to join us in creating a city where families stay together, pets are welcome in public spaces, and affordable veterinary care is within reach.

What is the Pets Welcome! program?

Launched in 2023 with support from Mars Petcare’s Better Cities for Pets initiative, Pets Welcome! is more than a sponsorship—it’s a collaboration to build a pet-friendly, people-friendly community. Partners don’t just write a check; they co-create solutions.

As a partner, you can:

Support families with access to affordable veterinary care, pet food, and crisis housing.
Help create pet-friendly public spaces by lifting “no-pet” restrictions.
Host or sponsor low-cost vaccine clinics, spay days, and community events.
Promote inclusive housing policies that keep pets and families together.

What is included in the Pets Welcome! partnership?

In return for your support, the Cheyenne Animal Shelter provides partners with exciting opportunities to engage with the community, showcasing their commitment to pets and the people who love them.

As a Pets Welcome! partner, you’ll receive:

Branded signage and recognition as a Pets Welcome! Partner.
Customizable pet policy templates for your business or organization.
Educational resources to promote responsible pet ownership.
Exclusive advertising with Cheyenne Animal Shelter audiences.
Prominent logo placement on our website.
Social media shoutouts across our bustling platforms.
Opportunities to strengthen workforce recruitment and community connection.
