Spay & Neuter
Our primary goal is to provide spay/neuter for dogs and cats through various programs.
Sadly, there are more animals than good homes. Our local shelter is full and making difficult decisions daily. Spay and neuter is the humane way to reduce the population of homeless and unwanted animals!
In 2025, we spayed and neutered over 1,500 dogs and cats. We have something big in store for 2026 – stay tuned!
Pet Assistance
We also help the animals and the people who love them through our owner assistance programs, including vaccinations, microchips, pet food, housing, and medical assistance. These programs help people keep their animals at home and out of the shelter.
During 2025 we administered 2,500 vaccines (rabies, feline distemper, and canine distemper/parvo) and microchips to dogs and cats!
Foster & Rescue
And we are working harder than ever to help those animals that are already here and in desperate need of a lifeline through no fault of their own. Because of the support of our donors, we are able to respond immediately when called.
During 2025 we rescued 660 homeless or unwanted dogs and cats, taking them into our pet foster homes and providing them with medical support and love!
We are an all volunteer 501(c)3 non-profit humane society dedicated to providing spay/neuter assistance, shelter and veterinary care assistance, community education and outreach, and promoting the compassionate care and treatment of animals in our area.
All donations are used for animals in our local area.
Thank you to our Partners!

Does anyone recognize me……I was found roaming around in Galax. We will check for micro-chip in the morning. If you know this dog, please call 276/389-7949. Pretty rough shape. 😔 Let’s see if she has a home 🐾

Today was transport day! Bandit and Belle went to Homeward Trails Animal Rescue and four kittens went to SFC Virginia: The Squishy Face Crew. The dogs were great travelers but the kittens very much expressed their displeasure at being put in jail for the trip. Oh, the protestations! They should all be in their new foster homes very soon and on their way to a happy home.
Thank you to the our local foster and JR Pet Services Waggin' Train Galax for keeping these animals safe and loved until their journey to Staunton.

Courtesy Post: This sweet little girl is ready for a home of her own. She is litter box trained and wants someone to love her. She’s not in TCHS custody but we will cover the cost of spaying her once she is big enough if the adopter reaches out to us at the time of adoption. If interested, please contact 276-238-7963.
