Some shelter dogs have stony exteriors that hide very soft hearts. This adoption story is about one of those dogs, Gypsum, a dog who took a bit to find her perfect match. It’s fitting that we talk about Gypsum because while she’s unique, her story isn’t – there are often adult dogs at the shelter who look nervous – or

Tri-County Humane doesn’t have just dogs and cats, of course. In fact, last year, we placed almost 300 “other” pets, such as guinea pigs, bunnies, birds and reptiles. This adoption story is about a rabbit who’s enjoying her new home, especially her new animal roommates! Zelda is a 5-year-old Rex mix who came to TCHS in late July; she was adopted

Happy Halloween weekend! We have a fun adoption story about a TCHS alum who certainly looks a little spooky (almost like a gargoyle) – but no trick, he’s a treat to live with for his new human. Now, Tri-County Humane Society takes in plenty of cats, but “Velvet” was definitely different for us. The Sphynx mix, now named Harold (or “Harry”

“On Aug. 17, we adopted our new housemate – whom we have renamed Kitzy – from Tri-County Humane Society. We had lost our former cat almost 4 years ago due to old-age problems and knew it was now time to add a new pet. We saw her notice on the TCHS website when she was picked up as a stray

There are times when a stray comes to Tri-County Humane Society and it’s clearly the best thing that could have happened to them. Such is the case with a little dog who earned the name Lucky for that very reason. When Lucky came in, he was full of mats and fecal matter so he was set up for a makeover

Once upon a time, kitten season used to take place from the springtime to the fall. Now it seems it’s 12 months long! But rather than complain about it, we’ll keep spaying and neutering all the cats we can and celebrate the adoptions of the kittens whom we helped find homes. This adoption story is about one of those kittens who

This adoption story is about a dog who has had one heckvua first year in her new home! The Golden Retriever mix we called Dani arrived at Tri-County Humane Society in mid-October 2021 as part of a transfer from the South. She only waited two days to find her new home, which she shares with her two humans and two cat

We at Tri-County Humane Society are grateful for our community’s support every day of the year. Gratitude is something we talk about a lot, and we certainly feel it thanks to wonderful stories such as today’s adoption story. Stripe is a 2-year-old mixed breed pup who came to Tri-County Humane Society by way of Leech Lake Legacy in late September.

Now, we at Tri-County Humane Society love all of our animal guests equally, but there are definitely a few who stand out and leave paw prints on our hearts. This adoption story is about one of them. Milky (AKA the Milk Man) was brought to the shelter in early September. The Milk Man looked like he had seen a thing

This adoption story is about a dog who needed someone to take a chance on him! Then called Ezra, the 2-year-old mixed breed dog came into the shelter in September with a rep of an overly energetic dog who would need a patient owner. Well, this pupper, now named Waylon, found the right human (who found out that Waylon is a
