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.

  • Clover

    Clover is a 4.5 year old Australian Cattle dog mix. She has been at the shelter since February 1, 2025. She spent weeks running loose across several miles in Kennewick evading capture. Finally, a well-meaning good Samaritan was able to catch her. After all the time fending for herself, it was clear Clover had been through a lot. She was underweight and suffering from painful skin infections. She was treated immediately and is now in good health. Clover is a very high energy dog and will need a family or doggie companion that can match her zest for life. She loves people and enjoys fetching toys in the yard. She will need a sturdy fenced yard and lots of love and patience to help her decompress and adjust to home life.
