Story
Meet Chip! Chip is a sweet and gentle boy who is looking for a family to help him build confidence and show him what it means to be loved. He can be a little shy when meeting new people or experiencing new situations, but once he starts to feel comfortable, his loving personality shines through. Chip may need awhile to warm up in his new home and can become vocal before he becomes fully adjusted. Chip is also wary of new people especially men but with a little patience, support, and treats he will be sure to win over anyone's heart. Like many young dogs, Chip may need some training and guidance as he settles into his new home. With consistency, patience, and positive reinforcement, he'll be well on his way to becoming a wonderful companion. Chip is a sweetheart at heart who just wants a chance to feel safe and loved. If you're looking for a loyal best friend and are willing to help him learn and grow, Chip may be the perfect addition to your family.

Story
Meet Koda, a spunky and energetic one and half year-old Cane Corso/Labrador Retriever mix who is ready to find his forever adventure partner! This handsome, neutered boy is already housetrained and absolutely loves tagging along for car rides. Koda is great with children and coexists well with cats, though his "puppy brain" means he can sometimes be a bit mouthy when he gets excited during playtime. He is searching for a home with another energetic, playful dog to keep him company, but since he hasn't met many pups yet, he will need a family committed to providing slow, patient introductions. If you’re looking for a loyal, high-energy companion to complete your pack, Koda is ready to fill your life with fun and affection!For more information, contact the City/County Animal Shelter at (307) 686-5249.

Story
Meet Damascus Say hello to Damascus, a 1-year-old Pit Bull with a heart as big as his smile! This sweet boy is cuddly, affectionate, wiggly, and always ready to show his people just how much he loves them. Damascus may still be working on his manners—he’s young, enthusiastic, and sometimes forgets that his excitement needs to have an off switch—but that just means he’s looking for someone who will patiently help him learn and grow. With a little guidance, consistency, and lots of love, this handsome guy has so much potential. He already knows how to sit, and he’s absolutely mastered the important skill of looking handsome. Give him some affection and he’ll happily wiggle his way right into your heart. If you’re looking for a fun-loving, affectionate young dog who is ready to learn, cuddle, and become your best friend, Damascus might just be your perfect match!

Meet Mars! This handsome Boxer mix has had a tough time lately, but things are already looking brighter. He came to us needing some help after his person was unable to afford the veterinary care he needed for an injury to his tail.

He’s good with cats, dogs, children, and even the elderly. He’s housetrained, crate trained, travels well, and has plenty of energy for whatever adventures come next.For now, Mars is safe, cared for, and recovering while we get to know him better. We’ll share more about this sweet boy as we learn what makes Mars, Mars.Please call 307-883-PETS to learn more.

Story
Willow is available through our Foster to Forever (FTF) Program rather than our standard adoption process. Please read all information below in its entirety before applying. To apply, please complete the Foster to Forever application. The application begins with a page titled “Your Animal Information.” Please enter Willow there — that page is asking which of our puppies you would like to bring home, not about a pet you already own. Enter Willow again further down, where the form asks which LAWS puppy you are applying for. Full Foster to Forever Program details and requirements are provided below. Thank you for taking the time to review the information carefully. Willow Willow is a petite, sweet puppy who came to LAWS from the Wind River Reservation. She is one of our younger puppies and is beginning her journey toward finding a forever family through our Foster to Forever Program. Willow is a gentle and curious puppy who enjoys exploring her surroundings and learning about the world around her. She has a sweet personality and loves spending time with her people and her puppy friends. Although she is small right now, Willow has a wonderful spirit and is growing more confident each day. She enjoys playtime, attention, and the little adventures that come with being a puppy. She will benefit from a family who is excited to continue helping her learn, grow, and experience everything life has to offer. Like all puppies, Willow is still learning important skills such as potty training, puppy manners, and socialization. She will thrive with patience, consistency, positive reinforcement, and a family committed to helping her become the best dog she can be. We estimate Willow was born around June 1, 2026. If you are looking for a sweet, gentle puppy who will grow alongside your family and become a loyal companion, Willow may be the perfect addition to your home. Because these puppies came from the Wind River Reservation and we do not have previous history on them, we are unsure of their breed mix. Important Notice – This Puppy is Available Through Our Foster to Forever (FTF) Program This puppy is available exclusively through the Laramie Animal Welfare Society's Foster to Forever (FTF) Program. The adoption process will begin through the FTF Program; however, the adoption will not be finalized until all required veterinary care has been completed, including the mandatory spay/neuter procedure at 16 weeks of age. The Foster to Forever Program is designed for young puppies who are not yet old enough to complete their required spay/neuter surgery. Approved FTF families will welcome the puppy into their home as a foster with the intention of adopting. Before applying, please understand: • Applicants must reside in Albany County, Wyoming. • FTF families must be committed to fostering the puppy with the intention of adopting. • The puppy will remain under LAWS' care and legal responsibility until all required veterinary requirements are completed and the adoption is finalized. • FTF families are responsible for providing the puppy's daily care, including food, treats, and supplies during the program period. • Families must attend all scheduled LAWS veterinary appointments, including booster vaccinations and the mandatory spay/neuter procedure at 16 weeks of age, and maintain regular communication with their Adoption Coordinator throughout the program. Please review the complete Foster to Forever Program requirements before applying: https://www.laramie-animals.org/foster-to-forever-application
