Learn about TNRIn spring 2024 we bought our first permanent building. Thanks to our community, the roof, heating, electrical, and flooring are done. Now we are transforming it room by room into a warm, healing space where animals begin their next chapter.
Every gift moves us closer to opening the doors.
Follow the project
Meet some of our amazing animals looking for loving homes. The majority of our animals are being cared for in wonderful foster homes throughout our community while they wait to find their forever families.
We train and support foster families so animals we would otherwise have to turn away for lack of space get a second chance and the specialized care they need.
Our volunteers humanely manage feral cat colonies around Laramie, spaying, neutering, and vaccinating, then returning or rehoming as working cats.
We help Albany County families keep the pets they love by providing food and supplies during hard times, so a temporary setback never means surrendering a pet.
