2025 impact

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.

Don't forget the TCHS/Carroll County/Petco Love free pet vaccination clinic tomorrow! It's first come-first served, rain or shine! (But don't fret if you can't make it - we will have more clinics throughout the summer as will the Galax Shelter.)

And for those attending the clinic, please bring your patience! The vaccination team has some very short travel times to get from place to place and will need to leave right at the end time for each clinic and might still be a few minutes late to the next clinic. We will have volunteers at each location to start getting paperwork filled out, provide information, etc. until the vaccination team arrives!😸
