Atlas is on a shortlist but NOT a short leash, and he's today's Pet of the Week from Tri-County Humane Society!

Atlas is a neutered 5-month-old Australian Cattle Dog (ACD)/Mix. He has that puppy energy AND the ACD intelligence! He's done well with cats and other dogs after proper introductions, but hasn't yet met children. Slow and proper introductions to new family members is always the recommendation. Atlas has lots of energy and loves long walks/runs to burn it off. Bring Atlas home for a great price through Friday (6/28/24) ONLY! Atlas and five other pups are on the 50% off adoption fee shortlist.

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!
