The Casper Humane Society is a 501(c)3 Non-Profit Organization. Before 1956, Casper did not have an organized humane organization to care for homeless animals. Velma Funda saw the need for one and in 1956, she established a network of foster homes where animals were cared for until permanent homes were found. In 1969, the Mountain View site was purchased, and an existing garage was utilized until a structure was built in 1978. After several years of fundraising, the present "state of the art" shelter was opened in 2003.
Step 1: Call the shelter to make an appointment. This gives any adopter a chance to see what we have available for adoption. We will have one of our animal handlers show you around and tell you more about each animal individually. Step 2: Choose an animal. Before we can start the process, you have to find the animal that you want to adopt! You must spend time with them personally before you can fill out the application, just in case their personality does not match the appeal of their appearance. Step 3: Fill out the application. We only have a paper application available at the shelter. If you are a renter, we will require a landlord note prior to giving out an application. Step 4: Processing. It typically takes 1 to 2 business days to process an application. We process applications in the order that they are received. The first approved application will be able to adopt the animal. Along with the application, we look for previous vet history for current or past pet owners, as well as check to make sure current pets are up to date on shots and are spayed or neutered. If you are adopting a dog, we also perform a yard-check to make sure the area is safe and clean. We require meet-and-greets between dogs to ensure the animals will be compatible. Step 5: Finalizing. Once the application is processed, a representative of the shelter will contact you. If your application is approved, you will pay for the adoption fee when you pick them up from the shelter. If your application has been denied, we will contact you to let you know the reasoning.
