You'll go bananas for the delightful Dixie: today's Pet of the Week from Tri-County Humane Society!

Dixie is a spayed 3-year-old American Pit Bull/Terrier/Mix who has stolen the hearts of the staff with her sweet personality. She loves to sleep with blankets, and her favorite human food treat is...a banana! Dixie loves car rides; and knows how to sit, shake, lay down, stay, jump up, and wait (commands). She likes to play fetch, but her prey drive leaves stuffies (and cats) out of the question. Dixie does well with dogs but is more selective about dogs smaller than her, and gets excited around younger kids...but probably a little too excited. Dixie is an obedient and happy pupper waiting for you!

Book Buddies Reading Program

Pets love to be read to. If you have a kiddo (age 5-15 years preferred) in your household who would LOVE to read to a shelter resident, then the Book Buddies program is for you (them)! Pets don't care about mispronounced words, and it's beneficial for both the kiddo (who gets practice reading aloud) and the resident, as shelter life can be stressful.


For Pets' Sake!

Thursdays through Saturdays from 2pm to 5pm, For Pets' Sake Thrift is open next to the animal shelter! Get gently used collars, pet beds, leashes, apparel, and accessories, with all profits staying to take care of the residents!
