Shepherd and Mixed Breed Dogs Available for Adoption in Rock Springs, Wyoming

Champ here came to the shelter as a stray, he is a younger adult and has quite a bit of energy. So far he has done well with some of the shelter dogs but will still need to be introduced to the family K9 if there is one in the house. We are unsure of his breed and his exact age, but he would love a family with children to run and chase.
