Mission

The mission of the Cheyenne Animal Shelter is to enhance the quality of life for animals and people through compassion, respect and education.

About

THE ANIMAL SHELTER SERVES AS AN ADVOCATE FOR THE SAFETY AND WELFARE OF ANIMALS IN THE COMMUNITY, PROVIDING HUMANE SHELTER TO HOLD AND ADOPT ANIMALS, PROMOTE HUMANE EDUCATION, AND REUNITE LOST ANIMALS AND THEIR OWNERS. THE CHEYENNE ANIMAL SHELTER MEDICAL CLINIC HAS EXPANDED ITS SCOPE TO PROVIDE EMERGENCY MEDICAL CARE TO PETS WHOSE OWNERS MIGHT NOT OTHERWISE BE ABLE TO AFFORD IT. CLIENTS MUST BE REFERRED BY A LOCAL VETERINARIAN OR BE ABLE TO SHOW PROOF OF INABILITY TO PAY FOR SERVICES. IN THE FISCAL YEAR 2019, THE CHEYENNE ANIMAL SHELTER CARED FOR 58 "OWNED" ANIMALS (DOES NOT INCLUDE BIG FIX PETS). OUR BIG FIX PROGRAMS PROVIDE FOR LOW-COST SPAYING/NEUTERING OF "OWNED" ANIMALS. CLIENTS MUST BE INCOME-QUALIFIED. AS WELL, AT LEAST THREE TIMES A YEAR, WE OFFER A "SPAY DAY" FOR CLIENTS OF ANY INCOME LEVEL. THE COST OF DOING SO IS OFFSET BY A SPONSOR FOR EACH SPAY/NEUTER CLINIC. SINCE 2005, OUR CRITTER CAMP HAS ATTRACTED HUNDREDS OF KIDS FROM AROUND THE COMMUNITY. CRITTER CAMP IS A WEEKLONG DAY CAMP FOR KIDS AGES 6-11 HELD SIX WEEKS DURING THE SUMMER. ATTENDEES LEARN THE HUMANE TREATMENT OF ANIMALS AND HOW TO BE SAFE AROUND ANIMALS. EACH WEEK COVERS A DIFFERENT TOPIC SUCH AS DOMESTIC ANIMALS, FARM ANIMALS, DINOSAURS, INSECTS, ETC. OUR TRAP, NEUTER, RELEASE PROGRAM HELPS TO TRAP FERAL CATS OR THOSE LIVING IN CAT "COMMUNITIES," SPAY OR NEUTER THEM AND THEN RE-RELEASE THEM BACK IN THEIR ORIGINAL HABITATS. CATS CAN STILL REMAIN "WILD" BUT WILL NOT BE CREATING MORE UNWANTED LITTERS AND THEIR NUMBERS WILL DECLINE THROUGH ATTRITION. THE CHEYENNE ANIMAL SHELTER WORKS CLOSELY WITH SAFEHOUSE, THE COMEA SHELTER (HOMELESS), CHEYENNE REGIONAL MEDICAL CENTER AND THE LOCAL VA HOSPITAL TO PROVIDE CARE FOR ANIMALS WHOSE OWNERS ARE CURRENTLY IN ONE OF THESE NAMED PROGRAMS. WE HAVE A 30-DAY WINDOW OF CARE FOR THEM AND OFTEN THE OWNERS COME JUST TO VISIT THEIR PET WHILE THEY ARE AWAITING SERVICES.
