These four dogs now have FREE adoption fees - thanks to a donation made in loving memory of Elodie Baker. We are so thankful to the TCHS donor for helping get them closer to homes!
They are (clockwise, from top left): Scout, Scooby, Titan, and Kiplan Asher. Learn more about them at our website, or stop in during shelter hours.
There's nothing "bad" about these pups except their luck - let's share this post and see if we can get that luck to change!

We have decked the halls - and shelves - in our For Pets' Sake Thrift store! It will reopen Thursday (Nov. 21) from 2-6 p.m., and you won't want to miss some of the great deals. We're talking a massive cat tree, crates and crates, winter pet apparel, holiday items, and more.
For Pets' Sake Thrift is located next to our shelter. Cash and check are preferred; all profits go back to our animals.

We know Cloud will bring a lot of sunshine into her new human’s life!
This 7-month-old spayed cat came in with the “weather” group – and she would love to go home with a feline friend. Cloud is a social butterfly who’s always on the move. She loves playing with toy mice, and her favorite treat is tuna.
Like all TCHS cats and kittens, Cloud’s adoption fee is 50 percent off in honor of TCHS’ 50th anniversary.

Update: Reclaimed by owner!
Someone is missing this guy!
The stray dog we're calling "Melbourne" is neutered and came in wearing his winter jacket just minutes ago. He must have gotten away from his human!
We estimate he is 2 years old; he was found at the intersection of North Benton Drive and Benton Oaks Drive in the city of Sauk Rapids.
If this is your dog, please contact us ASAP! Otherwise, please share.

This picture of TCHS hamster Sony reminded us of Thanksgiving as a kid when you just wanted to enjoy your pumpkin pie, and Mom kept telling you to eat the green bean casserole.
Sony is clearly not the biggest fan of peanut butter. But we know she'll be a fan of finding a new home! Meet this little gal at Tri-County Humane Society.

We're 24 hours away from Give to the Max, the biggest giving day for Minnesota nonprofits. Tri-County Humane Society will be asking for your support.
It's because of your support that we're able to do big things like take in 94 cats from a residence in Crosby.
It's because of your support we're able to do routine things like ensure animals are vaccinated and examined on intake.
It's because of your support that we're able to place almost 5,000 pets in homes every year.
It's because of your support that we're able to ensure every dog/cat/kitten/puppy/rabbit is spayed/neutered before adoption.
It's because of your support we're able to take on big medical cases that would not have been imaginable even a decade ago. (You'll hear about some of them tomorrow!)
Our success is your success. And we'll never stop dreaming big about what we can do even better for the animals - but we need your help!
**
Give to the Max Day is Thursday, Nov. 21, but you can give anytime this month - here's how:
* Give at www.tricountyhumanesociety.org/gttm

Halloween seems like years ago instead of weeks ago - but we have a spooky-fun update for everyone!
We had a social media contest Nov. 1 to submit new names for the dog we called "Frankenstein" since his name was outdated after Halloween. We loved the submissions/suggestions - "Dennis Ball" was a favorite - but the good news is Frankenstein got adopted shortly after that post. Of course, his new family got to officially name him: He's Frankie.
**
"Just wanted to give you a quick update on Frankie! He is doing great. Half the time we forget he's here with how perfect he is! He loves being outside 90 percent of the day - I swear like six hours a day just chillin'. No matter how hard we try to get him in! But he's actually so perfect for us. And our daughter loves him! He lays on the floor in her room for a little bit each night."
**
Good boy, Frankie! If you'd like to submit your happy TCHS adoption story for a social media post or Feel Good Fur-Day, please email [email protected]

OK, we need some help again - the stray cat we're calling "Chameleon" is spayed, so she must have had a human at some point!
We estimate she is about 3 years old; "Chameleon" was found on the 1700th block of 14th Avenue S in the city of St. Cloud. She arrived at TCHS on Nov. 18 (Monday).
If this is your cat, please contact us ASAP! Otherwise, please share.

We love Freckles!

Freckles has been at the TCHS for a few weeks, and she would love a new home and to have it be YOURS!

Meet our littlest guest - Sony!
This 1-year-old hamster is a sweet gal who likes to be handled on her terms; she mostly just enjoys being around her people. She enjoys hamster-appropriate treats, especially apples and grapes! She has done well with a child in the past. Her favorite thing to do is to run on her wheel.

OK, , once again we need some help!
The formerly stray cat we are calling Milly was going to undergo her spay surgery this morning. It turns out, she's already spayed! She must have had an owner at some point.
Milly was found on the 2300 block of 200th Street East in the city of Clearwater. She arrived at TCHS on Nov. 10. We estimate she is about 1 year old.
If this is your cat, please contact us ASAP! She has an adoption hold and is way past her stray hold. Otherwise, please share!

Update: Charlie was adopted!
November is Adopt a Senior Pet Month, and Charlie here puts the super in super senior!
This 12-year-old neutered Chihuahua mix came to Tri-County Humane Society after his owner passed. This friendly and happy boy enjoys outside time during the summer, and he'll sit pretty for a treat. His favorite sleeping spot is in bed next to his humans.
Charlie's got a few miles on him, but he's still got plenty of spring in his step and love in his heart. Come meet the 6-pound dude today!

Meet some of the new kids at the shelter! (Kitten season doesn't seem to have an end.)
Clockwise, from top left: Julius, Bandit, Chow, Bella, and Chopper.
These little ones - and all TCHS cats/kittens - are 50 percent off in honor of TCHS' 50th anniversary.

Wow - thank you, Pet Supplies Plus - Waite Park, MN! This will be a great year-end gift for our animals.

Tucker is a bit of a work in progress. (Aren't we all?)
This 7-month-old neutered Border Collie/Beagle mix is a high-energy guy who would have no problem playing 24/7. Tucker would do best in an active household ready to put in the time and patience to guide him as he grows.
Tucker's gotten a great head start on his house-training and crate-training. Consistency will help set him up for further success.
Learn more about Tucker at our website, or stop in and meet him!

We want to give a big paws-up to this family, Lilly, Layla, and their mom, Kateri! The girls save a portion of their allowance every time they receive it to give to a charity of their choice - and they picked us! (Yay!) They used the money to buy items off our wish list. Thank you!

Is someone missing their working cat?
The stray cat we're calling "Tiger" is neutered and ear tipped, so he may be someone's working cat or a friendly community cat. We estimate he is about 2 years old; he was found on the 1300th block of University Drive SE in the city of St. Cloud. He arrived at the shelter on Saturday, Nov. 16.
If this is your cat, please contact us ASAP! Otherwise, please share.

Santa made sure to stop in the shelter in between Santa Paws photo appointments to ask the animals what they want for Christmas. Tuvok told Santa that he'd love some new toys - but his biggest request is a home.
**
Thank you to everyone who participated in this past weekend's Santa Paws! We are especially grateful to the volunteers who made it possible, including photographers Lisa Crayford, Samantha Miller, and Dave Schwarz, as well as our sponsors: Country Gallery Photography, Kloster Collateral Resources, Motors in Motion, Modern Barnyard, and Unique Movers.

Tri-County Humane Society has 115 available animals staying with us right now. Help us spread the word - they need homes!
