Trinity Animal Shelter Auxiliary

                                                                              

Trinity Animal Shelter Auxiliary (TASA) is dedicated to the health and wellbeing of animals in need; the abandoned, the injured, the abused, the sick and undernourished. We believe that all shelter animals deserve a second chance.  And we strive to make that second chance of life with love and happiness possible.

TASA was established in 1994 as a nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to the welfare of the animals at the Trinity County Animal Shelter (TCAS) and in the greater community. We are 100% volunteer based and we help fund several programs for and through the shelter:

• Spay/neuter for shelter animals
• Spay/neuter companion animals for low income households in Trinity CountyMedical costs for shelter animals
• TNR (Trap-Neuter-Release) for our feral cat populations
• Education for children about animal welfare and the importance of spay/neuter

Our hearts are deeply embedded in helping the strays and abandoned animals that are brought into the Trinity County Animal Shelter. Many require medical assistance upon arrival - broken limbs, malnutrition, neonates and heartworm treatment are just a few examples of cases that TASA covers the costs for. We are forever thankful to our Trinity veterinarians whom offer their services at a reduced cost so that TASA can assist as many animals as possible every year.

In 2024 TASA: 

• Spayed/Neutered 26 Shelter Animals 
• Issued Spay/Neuter Vouchers for 31 Adopted Dogs & 43 Adopted Cats 
• Spay/Neutered 10 Dogs & 14 Cats for low-income families
• Spayed/Neutered 161 Feral Cats (TNR)
• Paid for the veterinary medical care of a multitude of animals at Trinity County Animal Shelter 
• Assisted the County financially to keep the Adoption Program open at the Trinity County Animal Shelter

TASA holds several fundraisers throughout the year to raise funds for the work we do. We grow each year and continue to assist more and more animals in need. We are proud of what we achieve and strive to continue help all animals in need. TASA could not achieve these goals without the generous financial support from people like you.
