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.

New Sponsorship!

We are pleased to announce Pivot Financial Group has selected Friends of Tri-Cities Animal Shelter for a full year of Sponsorship! We greatly appreciate their support and look forward to working with them closely throughout the year. Thank you, Pivot for selecting our organization.

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 the 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

  • Joseph

    Joseph is a 5-year-old Akita/Siberian Husky mix! He has been at the shelter off-and-on since 9/17/23 due to no fault of his own. This is a very special dog that is stable and confident. He looks pretty intimidating to some due to his strength and independent attitude. He loves his treats and doesn’t mind playing with his humans but he can also entertain himself. He enjoys chasing toys in the yard and doing zoomies. He likes to cool off in the pool but is not a fan of baths. His prey drive towards cats is strong. He briefly lived in a house with other dogs and wanted to play but he played too intensely and too rough for the dogs in the household. Another dog needs to be a good match but it is possible.

  • Luna

    This stunning 6-year-old Belgian Malinois mix is patiently waiting for her perfect match at TCAS since December 6th, 2023! She has been adopted twice and brought back due to no fault of her own. Luna is a dream dog for anyone seeking a well-mannered companion. Breed-savvy adopters are required per shelter staff. Here are some of her best qualities: Obedience on point, knows her basic commands, is eager to please, sweet, and gentle. Ball retrieving is her favorite pastime and she would love a big backyard to run around and patrol for her family.

  • Henry

    Henry (3 years old) had a tough start in life, growing up in a backyard with another dog who didn’t get along with him. When Henry first arrived in December 2023, he was in rough shape, suffering from wounds and skin issues caused by allergies that he’ll need to manage for life. At first, Henry was sad, scared, and withdrawn. He barely wanted to move, often “stuck” at a corner of the fence, needing gentle encouragement to take a step. His favorite thing to do once in the dog yard is searching for treats. Henry is a sweet, laid-back soul who is a treat-loving cuddlebug who would thrive in a calm, quiet home. While he puts on a bit of a “tough guy” act at his kennel door, outside of it, he’s just a big softie ready to relax with his favorite people. Because of this past, Henry would do best as the only pet in the home. His history with cats is unknown, but he’d flourish in a peaceful environment where he can soak up all the love and attention he deserves.
