Animal Control

Mission

Our Animal Control Officers aim to keep citizens and pets safe throughout Cheyenne and Laramie County. Our three main priorities are citizen and animal well-being, public education, and when necessary, ordinance/State Statute enforcement. Our officers respond daily to animal-related concerns or complaints called in throughout Laramie County and are available 24-7 as backup to other emergency response agencies. 

Animal Control would like to thank the citizens and visitors of Cheyenne for their help in reporting animal control issues. We'd also like to thank the citizens of Cheyenne for always helping each other reunite lost pets with their loved ones! We all play an important role and together we can best provide a safe and sustainable quality of life for our animals.
