HeRD of WY, Inc. is a registered 501c3 non-profit organization that seeks to help unwanted dogs find appropriate and loving homes. HeRD of WY was formally organized in 2008 out of the recognition that there are many herding breed dogs and mixes that "fall through the cracks” in Wyoming. Herding dogs often struggle in certain homes and shelter environments due to their high energy, intelligence and sensitivity, and then have no safe place to go. The program has been so successful that HeRD now has active foster homes and relationships with shelters in six states and our adopters come from all over North America!
1) Submission of application 2) Review of application and contacting of references 3) In depth discussion with foster home and/or rescue director about the dog(s) applied for to be sure that the dog will be a good match for the home and vice versa. 4) Home check (if out-of-area we will arrange to have a rescue or individual in that area complete the home visit). 5) Potential adopters meet with dog(s) and decide if they wish to adopt that dog. 6) Adoption: signing of contract, adoption donation, and a trip home with your new family member. 7) Follow-up support as needed.
