Rachel's Story

Hi there! My name is Rachel, and I’m a 3-month-old Australian Cattle Dog/Australian Shepherd mix with a huge heart and an even bigger zest for life! I may be little, but I am smart, curious, and so eager to bond with my people. I’m one of those puppies who watches your face, tries to understand what you’re asking, and then gives it her all—I learn quickly and love using my brain. The best part? I’m incredibly sweet and affectionate. I adore people, love being doted on, and am happiest when I’m close to someone who makes me feel safe. I’m great with other dogs too and enjoy having buddies to play with. Because I’m both clever and active, I’m going to make an amazing adventure companion—hiking, exploring, road trips, you name it! Whether it’s a fun outing or a cozy evening on the couch, I’m just excited to be part of someone’s life. I’m too young to be spayed just yet, but I’m up-to-date on all my vaccines and ready to meet my forever family. I’m currently in Riverton, WY, but my foster friends can help transport me just about anywhere for the perfect home. ??

Friends of Wind River Humane Society's Adoption Policy

At Friends of Wind River Humane Society, our adoption process is designed to set both dogs and adopters up for long-term success. We take the time to ensure each placement is a thoughtful match, prioritizing the well-being, safety, and happiness of every animal and family. Our adoption process includes the following steps: 1. Submission of online application by prospective adopter - this includes collecting key information such as household details, existing pets, vet references, landlord approval (if renting), and experience with animals. 2. Detailed application review by a member of our team - one of our dedicated volunteers/team members carefully reviews each application, looking for the best match for the animal’s needs. 3. Phone/virtual screening by a member of our team - one of our dedicated volunteers/team members, often from one of our foster caregivers, walk through the application questions in more detail, giving our team a solid understanding of the prospective adopter's lifestyle, expectations, experience with animals, etc. 4. "Meet and greet" with dog(s) of interest/compatibility - prospective adopters are invited to meet the animal, ideally in person if location permits or via video; if adopters have other pets and location permits, a controlled meet-and-greet might be arranged at this stage. 5. Final approval and adoption - if our team and the prospective adopter feel positive and wish to proceed following the "meet and greet, " an adoption agreement is signed and transport is arranged for the dog to their new home; depending on distance, this could include transport support provided by our organization; adopters are provided documentation of all medical history, microchip information, etc.
