The Rock Springs Humane Society is a non-profit organization dedicated to the placement of previously homeless animals in new, loving environments.
We alter and vaccinate all animals prior to placement, and screen all applicants to ensure a lifelong match between people and pets. We also educate the community about the importance of spaying and neutering pets, proper pet care, and animal welfare. We place dogs, cats and exotic animals in loving, forever homes!
We are also always in need of in-kind donations. Right now we are looking for the following: Paper towels, bleach, garbage bags, disposable latex gloves, postage stamps; ink cartridges (please call), a basic tool kit, kitty beds, and a working vacuum!
If you would like to volunteer at our shelter, help with public events, fundraising, public relations, etc., you will be giving the greatest gift of all: your time and love. We always need loving people to come play with and socialize the wonderful animals every day. Please contact us using the phone number and email address provided below.
We have some special projects now that summer is headed our way: painting, building and maintaining wild bird houses, landscaping and tree trimming, building planter boxes and planting flowers, repairing fencing and installing outdoor lighting.
Thanks to volunteers, staff, and active board members our shelter has undergone new and exciting changes!!! Come take a look!!
Thanks to "Penny Wars" at Home Depot, we are received $969.17! Congratulations to the Cashiers for winning the War. Thank you to Home Depot and everyone within the community who got involved! Our fuzzy friends so appreciate all your hard earned pennies!
All applicants are screened and a home visit is conducted to ensure the best match between you and the pet you wish to adopt. Your honesty during the application process will ensure you adopt the best pet for you...and that the animal receives the best home!
To keep in mind when you're considering adoption: we do not allow dogs to be kept on chains and we do not allow dogs or cats to be kept solely outdoors. The animals in our care are full of joy and affection -they deserve to be your cherished companions!
Our fees are $100 for dogs, $120 for puppies, $80 for cats and $100 for kittens. The adoption fee for exotic animals varies by species. This fee covers the cost of spaying/neutering your new pet, and providing vaccinations.
We also welcome any inquiries from breed rescue organizations concerning the adoption of our pure-bred animals. We have the utmost respect for all the dedicated and hardworking people giving their all for the breed they love, and will be glad to work with any breed rescue organization that believes in spaying/neutering.
From I-80, take Rock Springs Elk Street Exit (Exit 104), turn north/right onto Elk Street/Highway 191 North. Turn west/left on Yellowstone Road. Our shelter is on the right, about a mile past the Mobil gas station. Our hours are 12:00 pm to 6:00 pm, Monday-Saturday. We are closed on major holidays.
