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!

LOST DOG: Please keep an eye out for Willow. She went missing near Rebeltown Market and the Hub Restaurant on Main Street in Galax. If you have seen her, please comment or send us a message. Please share so we can help get her home.

🚨🚨🚨FREE VACCINATION CLINIC ALERT!!!!🚨🚨🚨
TCHS, in conjunction with Carroll County and Petco Love, will be hosting a free pet vaccination clinic on Saturday, April 25 in three different locations spanning Carroll County.

10-12 Dugspur Community Center - 118 Double Cabin Road
12:30-2 Oakland Elementary School - 4930 Pipers Gap Road
Don't panic if you don't live near any of these areas or can't get there on the 25th! We will be having follow up clinics in Hillsville and Galax, and the Galax Shelter will also be hosting some free clinics over the summer.
Please be sure to get there well before the end of the clinic as we will need to pack up and head to our next location at the ending times for each clinic.
Dogs and cats are welcome, but please have your dog leashed or kenneled and have all cats in carriers. If you would like a 3 year rabies vaccination for your pet you will need to bring proof of CURRENT rabies vaccination from your veterinarian or previous clinic.
