💔🐾 This sweet old gal is looking for a soft place to rest her head and spend her golden years surrounded by love. At around 10 years old, shelter life is just no place for a senior baby like her.

She deserves warm blankets, gentle pets, peaceful naps, and someone to remind her every single day just how loved she is. 🥺❤️

If you love Chihuahuas and have room in your heart and home for a sweet senior girl, please give us a call or send us an email. We would love for you to come meet her and see just how special she truly is.

Thinking about adding a furry best friend to your family? 🐾❤️ Please consider stopping by Tri-County Animal Shelter and meeting some of our amazing dogs and cats waiting for their second chance.

Looking for a loyal sidekick to go on adventures with? We have wonderful dogs ready to become your new best friend. More of a cat person? Our shelter is full of loving adult cats just hoping someone will take a moment to see how special they truly are. Adult cats make some of the sweetest, calmest, and most devoted companions. 🐱

Right now, our shelter is very full, which means there are so many sweet animals hoping for someone to give them a chance. Every adoption truly makes a difference. When one of our animals finds a loving home, it opens space for another animal in need to come through our doors and begin their own journey to a better life. ❤️

Please consider adopting one of our sweet babies and helping us continue giving homeless animals the love and care they deserve. 🐶🐱

📍 Stop by and meet them:
Wednesday–Friday: 1 PM–5 PM
Saturday: 11 AM–1 PM

🚨 MISSING CAT 🚨

Please help us bring Chester home! 🐾💔

Chester has been missing since Thursday night near the Body Rd. and Old 17 area. He is wearing a white flea collar. His family is heartbroken and misses him terribly.

Cats can sometimes hide nearby when they are scared, so please check under porches, in sheds, garages, barns, bushes, and wooded areas. Even the smallest sighting could help bring Chester back home safely.

If you have seen Chester or have ANY information, please contact Tri-County Animal Shelter:
📞 252-221-8514

Please share this post to help spread the word and get Chester back to his family where he belongs. ❤️🐱

🐾 Are you in search of a new furry best friend? 🐾

Do you love long walks, lazy couch snuggles, wet nose kisses, and having someone follow you to the bathroom like you’re the most important person in the world? 😆 Then it might be time to visit Tri-County Animal Shelter!

We have lots of adorable furry friends just waiting for their happily ever after. Big dogs, little dogs, goofy dogs, couch potato dogs, and every size in between! 🐶

More of a cat person? Don’t worry — we’ve got you covered there too! We have playful kittens, sweet adult cats, long-haired fluff balls, short-haired cuddle bugs, and professional biscuit makers ready to steal your heart. 🐱💕

Some are silly, some are shy, some are full of zoomies, and some just want a warm lap and someone to love. But every single one of them is hoping their new family walks through our doors soon. ❤️

So come by Tri-County Animal Shelter and see if your new best friend is waiting for you! 🐾

Would you like to make a difference in the life of a homeless animal? 🐾 Do you love tiny kittens and sweet, loving momma cats? Then we need your help!
Tri-County Animal Shelter is looking for compassionate foster homes for nursing mothers and their babies. These sweet families deserve a warm, quiet place where they can relax, grow, and receive the love and TLC they need while waiting for their forever homes.
Fostering saves lives by giving these mommas a safe and comfortable environment to care for their kittens away from the stress of the shelter. We provide the supplies — you provide the love. 💕
If you would like to help give these precious babies the best possible start in life, please reach out to us. Even fostering one family can make all the difference. 🐱🍼
