Wind River Furry Friends

Wind River Furry Friends No-Kill Animal Shelter is a non-profit organization that was established in January 2006, located in Fort Washakie, on the Wind River Indian Reservation in west-central Wyoming, home of the Eastern Shoshone and Northern Arapaho Tribes. There are many stray, unwanted and abused animals on the Wind River Reservation. Fremont County animal control does not have jurisdiction on the Reservation; therefore, we work closely with Eastern Shoshone Housing Authority, since they lost their funding and no longer can house any unwanted animals. Furry Friends is staffed by volunteer efforts and we are relying on donations and contributions to support our start-up shelter on the Rez. We have created a tribal youth group that we hope to train and then they can go into the schools to talk about animal care and pet spay and neutering. We also advocate for people to go to local shelters and adopt unwanted pets instead of buying pets through expensive pet stores. We have created an alliance with the following organizations, and we would like to thank them for their generous assistance: The Pet Connection in Lander; Hines General Store in Ft. Washakie; Lander Mills who has donated animal food; and Lander Animal Hospital, who provide spay/neutering and discounted animal health checks
