Free Charlie (Literally, He’s Free): Today’s Pet of the Week!
The best things in life ain't free? Tell that to Charlie: today's Pet of the Week from Tri-County Humane Society!
Charlie is a neutered year+ mixed-breed high-energy boy who loves durable chew toys and is great on a leash (he pulls just a little bit, but he's also a 64lb beefcake). Charlie knows how to "sit" on command. It's unknown how he is around cats, children, or other dogs...although Tri-County Humane Society staff have noticed that Charlie doesn't react much when he walks by other dogs. Charlie's adoption fee has been generously donated in loving memory of Elodie Baker; so if your home is a perfect fit, price isn't a barrier!

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!
