🚨 Shelter Dog Capacity Update: 🚨

We are consistently reaching or exceeding our capacity for both small and large dogs here in the shelter. Currently, every dog space is filled, and we’ve had to set up pop-up kennels just to accommodate the critical overflow. We urgently need the community’s help to find loving homes for these incredible dogs.
We have a diverse group of dogs—different ages, colors, breeds, sizes, and personalities—each one desperate for a safe, permanent home. If you’ve been considered adopting a dog, **NOW is the time**. Prior to adoption, all of our amazing shelter dogs are altered, microchipped and up to date on vaccines as age appropriate.

📍 To View Available Animals Visit us at TriCitiesAnimalServices.com
🕒 Days/Hours: Tuesday – Saturday 10 am to 5 pm
📞 Contact: 509-545-3740

If you find a lost dog here are some steps to help you help them find their way home and stay out of the shelter:

1. **Check for Identification:** Look for a collar with tags and have it scanned for a microchip. If the dog has ID, contact the owner immediately.
2. **No Identification? Ask Around:** Knock on doors in the area where you found the dog. Someone might recognize them and know where they belong.
3. **Post on Social Media:** Share a photo and description of the dog on local community groups or lost pet pages. This can help reach a larger audience quickly.
4. **Check the Lost and Found Website:** You can do this at www.animalsheltertc.com by going to the “Find a Missing Pet” tab where you can report the found animal and check local lost reports that have been filed to see if it has been reported as missing.
5. **Call the Shelter:** If you're considering bringing the animal to the shelter, please call ahead. This way, we can inform you whether we're able to accommodate the dog at that moment.
6. **Provide Temporary Shelter:** If you can safely contain the dog, provide temporary shelter in your home or a safe space (like a fenced yard) until the owner can be found.
7. **Don't Take More Than You Can Handle:** If you are unable to safely contain the dog should the shelter not be able to immediately take it in, it is advisable to not take the animal from its current location and make a call to animal control to report the situation.

Remember, your safety and the dog's well-being are top priorities. By following these steps, you can increase the chances of reuniting a lost dog with their family safely and effectively.

🐾❄️ It may be cold and snowing outside, but this story is sure to warm your heart! A huge thank you to our friends at News Radio 610 KONA for putting together this amazing recap of all the furry friends who’ve found their forever homes through their Pet of the Week radio show. 🐶🐱 Your dedication and support have made such a difference, and we’re beyond grateful for this incredible partnership.

Adopting from TCAS not only changes the lives of animals in need but also helps free up space so we can continue our mission to help even more pets find loving homes. A big thank you to our animal loving community for sharing their stories, choosing adoption, and being a part of this journey! 🐾❤️

Time has a funny way of escaping us. As we've continued to feature animals that need new homes, we've forgotten to update you on all the success stories you, as our community, created.
