There is a dirt access road right beside the old utilities building. You can access our parking lot from there. If you have any questions, please call us and 307-721-5385.

🐾ADOPTION SPOTLIGHT 🐾: BIG HEART, BIG VOICE, TINY MANNERS! 📣❤️
Meet Bubba! ✨ This approximately 2-year-old German Shepherd mix is 50+ pounds of pure, unadulterated joy. Bubba is the definition of "happy-go-lucky" he’s just a little bit loud about it! 🗣️🐕
Why you’ll love him:
He is incredibly sweet and truly loves people! 🥹🫂
He is the world’s most enthusiastic fetch player (bring two balls, trust us!) 🎾🥎
He’ll keep you active and laughing every single day! 😂
Things to know: Bubba is still working on his manners. 🎩
He’s a big boy who isn’t quite aware of his size yet 🫣,
He likes to "shout" at other dogs to tell them he wants to play! 📢 We don't know how he feels about cats or kids yet. 🐈👶❓
If you have a fenced yard and a love for the "big dog" life, Bubba is waiting for you! 🏡🌳🐕‍🦺
Come to the shelter today to meet this sweet boy! 🐕❤️
