It's time again for , when we highlight the work of one of our volunteers or fosters. Today we are spotlighting Jan Stanley, a longtime supporter of ours who has been volunteering with us since September 2023. Jan (pictured on the left with Volunteer Coordinator Olivia Schomer) won our Compassion Award at our most recent Volunteer Appreciation Party. She's known for her sensitivity toward all animals, her fellow volunteers, and customers.
"What's your favorite thing about volunteering?" My favorite things about volunteering - can't choose one - include being part of a talented, dedicated team of volunteers and staff who care deeply about the welfare of animals; interacting with/caring for the animals; meeting folks who want to give an animal a forever home; and that no two days are ever the same. I especially LOVE when a dog or cat that has been at TCHS for a while goes home, even more especially when a bonded pair goes home together.
I have only fostered once - Butchie Goodfellow - and aside from caring for him, the best thing is hearing that he is doing an outstanding job in his forever family.
"What would you tell people about volunteering at TCHS?" I would tell potential volunteers - and that includes everyone who is not yet a volunteer - that though we don't volunteer for the rewards, the rewards are great. See above answer. Even if most of what we end up doing on any given day is dishes or laundry, we know that we make a difference for the animals, and we know that we are appreciated. For me, the best thing about being retired is that I have time to volunteer at TCHS.
"What's your favorite animal?" My favorite animal is the one I am currently interacting with, not counting the puppies that have pooped up their kennel only five minutes after it was last cleaned, though even they are cute. I especially connect with the seniors, maybe because I am also old. Outside of the shelter, this fall I am enjoying the hummingbirds as they migrate through, and the pair of sand hill cranes who are gleaning in the field next to my driveway. And if bugs count, I enjoy that the crickets are giving nightly concerts. In spring it is the red wing blackbirds, the orioles and the frog concerts.

Behold the mighty Zeus! This almost 2-year-old mixed breed pup is looking for his fresh start.
Zeus came to Tri-County Humane Society as a stray and was never reclaimed. He's a happy boy who does the cutest tippy-taps with his feet when excited. He hasn't come across a treat he doesn't like, and he wants to celebrate his adoption with a pup cup on the way home.
Come meet Zeus at Tri-County Humane Society!

It's not only - it's ! Recent TCHS adoptee Bella was lucky enough to go on field trips with Cam H., who deemed her a "sweetheart." We're so happy Bella got adopted - and we know that those field trips helped keep her in positive spirits as she waited for her family!
**
Current TCHS fosters/volunteers, ask a staff member if you're interested in trying a field trip with one of our pups! If you'd like to be able to do this and aren't a current volunteer, please apply to be a foster or volunteer at our website.

These birds of a feather must flock together - they're best buds and a bonded pair!
Calypso (left) and Toffee are inseparable — you’ll often find them grooming each other or bickering like an old married couple. They are 5-year-old parakeets; Toffee is male and Calypso is female.
They’re still getting used to being handled, so they’ll benefit from a bit of extra socialization to feel comfortable around their people.
These two qualify for our BOGO for Besties deal!

OK, we need some help again! The stray cat we're calling "Sam" is spayed, so we believe her human is out there.
We estimate "Sam" is 5 years old; she was found at the intersection of Washington Memorial Drive and University Drive S in the city of St. Cloud. She arrived at TCHS on Sept. 3.
If this is your cat, please contact us ASAP! Otherwise, please share.

It's almost the weekend - time to stretch and relax!
Willbur is an 8-month-old neutered cat who came to Tri-County Humane Society as a stray and was never reclaimed. He's looking for a fresh start - could it be with you?

Update: Adopted!
We think we've spotted your new best friend!
Dottie is a 3-year-old spayed Dalmatian mix who’s looking for a human or household that can match her energy. She enjoys playing tug-of-war and going on plenty of walks. In the past, she’s been around other dogs, cats, and small children, and she did well with all of them.
Meet Dottie at Tri-County Humane Society!
