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!
Pet News
Can we take a minute to share a Happy Tails story? I think we can all use one😺
Unfortunately, this story starts with a tragedy, and sadly, we have had so many lately. About a week ago someone reported a dog on the side of the road - tragically, the dog was hit and killed shortly after. But there was another dog! It was hiding in someone's yard and they called us for help.
Fortunately, dedicated TCHS volunteer and experienced animal emergency responder, Laurie Methven, was available and willing to go out and collect this guy to get him to safety. He was terrified (wouldn't you be???), thin, and horrendously matted. There's no telling how long he had been wandering with his buddy - and then to see him get killed like that🥺
It took several hours in total, but Laurie was able to safely collect this poor guy, get him to Dr. Strauss at Carroll Veterinary Clinic for a checkup and a rabies vaccination, and then over to JR Pet Services Waggin' Train Galax and the amazing Jennifer Roberts for some much-needed grooming relief and a safe place to hang out and recover.
Take a look at this gorgeous guy now - what a transformation! He is still shy but feels so much better and is finally safe. But the best news is, Cruise, as he is now called, has found a permanent home! He went for a sleepover and things went great so he now has a new, loving home AND a new best friend 🐶
Thank you to all who made this happen and gave Cruise a new chance at life!❤❤❤

Courtesy Post: These 3 cuties are ready for a home to call their own. They aren’t in TCHS custody so please text or call (276) 266-5132. They aren’t quite old enough to spay/neuter yet but if adopters contact us at time of adoption, we will cover the cost of spay/neuter once they are big enough. Please share so we can help find them a great home.
