Our Mission

Our mission is to partner with Tri-City Animal Shelter to improve the welfare of homeless, neglected, and lost animals. 

Tri-City Animal Shelter is a municipal agency. While the facility is located in Cedar Hill, the shelter is funded by and serves the citizens of Cedar Hill, DeSoto and Duncanville. Friends of Tri-City Animal Shelter is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that partners with the shelter to increase adoptions and ensure every animal is healthy and sterilized before joining their new family.
