Puppers with full-body wiggles are our weakness. Meet Wiggles: today's Pet of the Week from Tri-County Humane Society!

Wiggles is a neutered, 2-year-old medium mixed breed who loves to show guests his favorite blankie (see GIF below)! He's a big softie who loves affection and cuddles. He's taken treats very gently. It's unknown how he is around other animals or children. Wiggles lives up to his name by greeting you with full-body wiggles (a simple tail wag just isn't enough)!

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

  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!


GoodPup

Tri-County Humane Society wants you and your new family member to succeed, so they've teamed up with GoodPup to provide a customizable, affordable, and positive dog training program that you both can work on from home!
