If, at the end of a day, we have spared or enhanced the quality of an animal's life, then we have served our hearts.

Our Story
As goes the story with so many animal shelters, operating budgets are tight and difficult decisions must be made regarding the "worth" of an animal's life. The cost to care for animals who are healthy is expensive, but adding in animals with special medical or behavioral needs can blow away a shelter's budget in the blink of an eye. Sadly, when funding is low and unexpected expenses arise, it is the animals that pay the ultimate price.
Friends of Tri-Cities Animal Shelter (Friends of TCAS) is a local, all-volunteer 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to serving the lost and abandoned animals at Tri-Cities Animal Services (TCAS). It is our goal that every animal passing through the doors into Tri-Cities Animal Services receives necessary care. We need YOUR HELP and invite you to join us in fulfilling this endeavor. Click below to see how you can help these special animals.
Featured Pets at Tri-Cities Animal Services

Chalet
Chalet has been at the shelter since 9/3/2024. She is a 2-year-old German Shepherd mix who was found on Columbia Drive.
She is a lovebug with her people. Chalet knows basic commands and even some tricks, like speaking on command. She is super eager to please those around her. She loves toys and cuddling with her humans.
She does have a few quirks, such as being reactive to some dogs and some resource guarding of her toys with other dogs. Also, when a stranger approaches her kennel, Chalet has a tendency to put on her “big tough” face and bark, which can make her seem intimidating at first. A good fit would be a home with plenty of love, playtime, and adventure.

Dorita
Dorita is a 5-year-old Australian Cattle Dog mix who has been at the shelter since 10/9/2024.
She is a sweet, spunky and totally lovable girl. Her favorite part about the day is playing with her squeaky toys in the yard. After playing, she is very content crashing on the couch and snuggling up.
Dorita is social and friendly. She gets along with other dogs and adores humans of all sizes - big and small.

Clarice
Clarice is a 6 ½ year old Belgian Malinois mix who has been at the shelter since 10/9/2024.
Clarice is quick to learn, eager to please & loves to stay active. She is a social butterfly and loves meeting new people. She loves her stuffed toys; however, she loves them so much that she will pull them apart and spread stuffing around her. This just means she would do best with plenty of enrichment to keep her happy and mentally stimulated.
She would do best as the only pet in the household because she is reactive toward other dogs and has a strong prey drive.
