Two Pets of the Week Are Even Better Than One!
A pair of sibling pups are today's Pets of the Week from Tri-County Humane Society.
Freya and Thor are spayed/neutered 10-year-old Labrador Retriever/mixes who grew up together and would love to stay together, so Tri-County Humane Society is offering a BOGO for Besties deal for adoption! Pay one fee for both besties! They're used to the outdoors, so an indoor lifestyle will take some getting used to. They're both sweet and playful with other dogs and with children, but have not had a chance to meet cats. A big yard for Freya and Thor to run around would be ideal, and they love to swim, too!

Top Ten Reasons to Spay or Neuter Your Pet
- Your female pet will live a longer, healthier life.
- Neutering provides major health benefits.
- Your spayed female won't go into heat.
- Your male dog won't want to roam away from home.
- Your neutered male will be much better behaved.
- Spaying or neutering will NOT make your pet fat.
- It is highly cost-effective.
- Spaying and neutering your pet is good for the community.
- Your pet doesn't need to have a litter for your children to learn about the miracle of birth.
- Spaying and neutering helps fight pet overpopulation.
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!
