Experience Hendrix: Today's Pet of the Week!

Hey Joe (or Tom/Jenny/Sue/anybody)! Calm down and check out Hendrix, today's Pet of the Week from Tri-County Humane Society!

Hendrix doesn't wail on the guitar, but he is a bear-like gentle sweetheart! He came to TCHS as a stray, so they don't know much about his history (maybe he used to wail on guitar?). He takes treats gently and has been sweet & playful with staff. Any introductions to children or other pets should be done gradually under supervision. TCHS' GoodPup virtual training would be perfect for Hendrix!

Top Ten Reasons to Spay or Neuter Your Pet

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

Everyday items that our pets love more than their expensive toys

We spend a fortune on brand new toys for our pets. Chances are that they will completely destroy those at some point. But before that destruction happens, there are some normal, everyday items that we have in our homes that our pets would rather play with. The best thing...these "toys" are usually way less expensive.
