Milo is pleased to meet you!
This neutered 3-year-old Lab/Shepherd mix (whose friends call him "Mimi") has done well with other dogs and small children in the past (although he can forget his size). He hasn't lived with cats, but he is friendly and curious when he's around them. He is house-trained and is used to being on a consistent potty schedule. Milo LOVES to chew; his favorite toys are bones and Kongs.
Milo has been looking for a home for more than a month. We've reduced his adoption fee to $75 plus tax to inspire a few second looks!

Eddie 65 is our resident "turtle cat" - he likes to hide under his cat bed, but he'll happily accept pets 'n' scritches while he's all huddled up.
This 5-year-old neutered cat came to us as part of the Crosby case. He has tested positive for Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), which may affect a cat's immune system. This virus is spread through bite wounds between cats and is unlikely to spread in households where cats live harmoniously.
Learn more about Eddie 65 at our website, or stop in and meet him!

Since Mother's Day is approaching, we'd like to promote Quilla, who came to Tri-County Humane Society with her six puppies. (She's now spayed, though, so no more puppies for this gal!)
Quilla spent time in a foster home to raise those puppies, and while she was there she met other dogs and did well with them. (We're not sure how she would do with cats or children.) Her fosters reported that she is potty trained and is used to being let out on a consistent schedule.
Quilla loves to play and would enjoy lots of durable toys in her new home. She's also a big-time snuggler!

This gem is hiding in plain sight!
Gemma has been at Tri-County Humane Society for more than a month, so we have reduced her adoption fee to $75 plus tax. Please share, and let's get her a home!
Gemma is a 7-year-old spayed mixed breed pup who, in the past, lived with another dog and did well. (Other than that, we have limited information on her history.) Gemma is an excellent walker on a leash, and she's very attentive to her person. She's also a treat-motivated gal, which should help with training.

Meet Estelle - she's coming out of her shell!
Estelle 68 is one of the Crosby cats who's looking for a fresh start. We think this 2-year-old spayed cat would benefit from a quieter home. She seems to be a little nervous about new surroundings, but she is super sweet once she feels comfortable. Estelle has been exposed to Feline Leukemia Virus (FeLV) and Feline Immunodeficiency Virus (FIV), but she has currently tested negative for both. (She should be isolated from other cats until the adoptive family follows up with their veterinarian for guidance on retesting options.)

There has been a lot of good that has come out of the Crosby cat situation - all the community help, donations, and 28 adoptions so far! We've also met some new supporters from outside our community who were very willing to help.
Pictured are TCHS Manager of Fund Development Emily Prodinsky and Bob from Rochester Pet & Country Store; the store took monetary donations and organized a canned cat food drive for the Crosby cats. That's right, a store more than two hours from St. Cloud pitched in to help.
Please thank them in the comments for us - it's good to have friends everywhere!

Yogurt is a former outdoor cat who is quickly becoming enamored of the indoor life. (She especially likes to watch dripping faucets and fish tanks.)
This 6-month-old spayed cat also has a few requests for her new human, when she meets them: She would prefer to be a solo pet, thank you very much, and she wants a cat tree near a window.
Come meet Yogurt today!

Mugsley is trying to pick up the scent of a home!
This 3-year-old neutered Bloodhound mix is a puppy in an adult dog's body - he could learn a few manners, although he has charm to spare. (When he meets people, he gets very excited and must give his new friends a hug.) In the past Mugsley lived with another dog and did well (although he can be selective about his doggie friends); he also been around school-aged children.
Learn more about him at our website, or stop in and meet him!

Kitten season is just around the corner, although it seems to last a little longer every year! We’re preparing for our virtual Kitten Shower (May 16 and 17) where we ask for kitten food, milk replacer, cat litter, and, most importantly, foster homes! Of course, with fostering comes the temptation to “foster fail” - to adopt the pet instead of bringing it back for adoption. Hey, we understand! And many of us have “failed,” too, including TCHS staff member Bre W. Today’s Feel Good Fur-day comes from her.
Bre said she was heartbroken when her childhood cat passed away last summer. “I told our foster care coordinator, Bryn, that I didn't know when I would be ready for foster kittens again. About a week later, this 2-month-old, 208-gram, sickly, crusty, alien-looking kitten came in, and I was in love.” Bre asked to foster the little kitten, whom she named Dreamsicle, to see if she could help get him healthy.
“We weren't even sure if he would survive despite the supportive care we were giving,” Bre wrote. “But he pushed through! Once it came time to bring him back to the shelter, I felt that same heartbreak all over again. I couldn’t do it, so I made the decision to foster fail for the first time.”
Dreamsicle will turn 1 on May 21st; he had a rocky start, but he’s now a spunky, spirited little man. His hobbies include riding on Bre’s shoulder (when he was smaller he liked to sit on top of her hat), carrying toys around the house, and ripping apart bags of cat food.
“Dreamsicle came to me when he needed me the most and when I needed him the most. It is not an exaggeration to say that this cat saved my life and continues to save my life every day (even when he drives me crazy).”
Bre encourages people to consider signing up to foster. “Fostering saved Dreamsicle’s life and saves the lives of so many vulnerable kittens.” And who knows – you might meet your new best friend!

We have an unfortunate pattern today: We have another stray dog who is neutered, so he must have or have had a home at some point.
The dog we're calling "Meatball Sub" was found in the 1000th block of Northway Drive in the city of St. Cloud. We estimate this Alaskan Husky mix is about 2 years old; he was brought to the shelter today.
If this is your dog, please contact us ASAP!

Hey, , we need your help again - the stray puppy we're calling "Tigger" is new at the shelter. We estimate this Australian Cattle Dog mix is 4 months old; he arrived at the shelter today after being found on the 700th block of 15th Avenue SE in the city of St. Cloud.
If this is your puppy, please contact us ASAP! Otherwise, please share.

Nate keeps his eyes on the trees - he's often looking for squirrels!
This 2-year-old neutered Coonhound/Beagle mix, in the past, has done well with other dogs and children. (He has not lived with cats, but he is very curious about them. Nate does have a prey drive, however!)
Nate can be a little wild on a leash and could use some help learning how to walk like the proper gentleman we know he can be. He is house-trained and will ring a bell to let his human knows that nature is calling. Nate also knows "sit" and "stay" and would love to work on learning more cues!

Foster S.O.S.!

We have a foster S.O.S. - mom dog (Quilla) and her six puppies need a foster home ASAP! It's great to have mom dogs like Quilla - they do a lot of the work with the puppies in terms of feeding, cleaning, and socializing. (And Quilla is a great mom!) As far as fostering for TCHS, here's what you need to know: TCHS provides all the supplies and medical care for the animals; the fosters provide the home (and the love). This fostering assignment would likely be anywhere from three to five weeks. (The puppies are about three weeks old.) If you are not a current TCHS foster, please apply at www.tricountyhumanesociety.org/foster, or pick up a paper application at the shelter. Not in the position to foster? That's OK - but please share this post! #TCHSdogs #tchspuppies #FosterforTCHS #TeamTCHS 320-252-0896 www.tricountyhumanesociety.org

Update: Hired! (Adopted!) Frank's career objective: To find work as an office assistant. The only problem? He can only "type" with his butt. Oh, and he doesn't know English.

Thank you to everyone who participated in our first Pints for Pets brewery tour! We had a great time, raised a lot of money for our shelter, and, of course, drank great beer! Thanks to our event sponsors, the four breweries, and all our guests!

We’re crossing all the stops off our list on our Pints for Pets brewery tour!

We are ready to toast to a fantastic weekend! On Saturday, March 23, Tri-County Humane Society is hosting its first brewery tour to benefit our shelter. (And it's sold out!) For everyone who has a ticket, the event will start at 1:30 p.m. at Back Shed Brewing in Waite Park. (It's at 624 Sundial Drive near Crafts Direct.) From there, the tour will go to Bad Habit Brewing Company, Pantown Brewing Company, Beaver Island Brewing Company, and back to Back Shed to end the tour. We are especially grateful to our sponsors, Marco (event sponsor) and Trobec's Bus Service (transportation sponsor), for making this event a reality. Thanks to Erbert and Gerbert's for supplying us with sandwiches, too! We'll have plenty of snacks, giveways, and so much more! Let's have fun, drink responsibly, and raise a lot of money for the animals! #TCHSevents #GivetoTCHS #TeamTCHS
