Meet Kody: a shy-but-sweet pupper with loooooong legs who is today's Pet of the Week from Tri-County Humane Society!

Kody came to TCHS as a stray, so not much is known about his history. What we DO know is that Kody loves belly rubs! He can be a little timid at first, but will come out of his shell will love and patience! We suggest GoodPup virtual training (more on that below) to help boost his confidence. Kody is 50lbs with long legs that gives him a kind of "supermodel" walk...bonus points if you have a runway for him to walk!

Need a Barn Cat? Call Tri-County Humane Society!

Not all cats are lazy overlords! TCHS often has "working cats" (or barn cats) who prefer the great outdoors. They do best in pairs or groups. Working cats are still spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and qualify for the "Name Your Price" adoption fee promotion!


Top Ten Reasons to Spay or Neuter Your Pet

  1. Your female pet will live a longer, healthier life.
  2. Neutering provides major health benefits.
  3. Your spayed female won't go into heat.
  4. Your male dog won't want to roam away from home.
  5. Your neutered male will be much better behaved.
  6. Spaying or neutering will NOT make your pet fat.
  7. It is highly cost-effective.
  8. Spaying and neutering your pet is good for the community.
  9. Your pet doesn't need to have a litter for your children to learn about the miracle of birth.
  10. Spaying and neutering helps fight pet overpopulation.

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!
