Life is challenging. Sometimes it helps to have a big brother showing you the ropes. The Jack Russell mix puppy we called Lewis arrived in early February at Tri-County Humane Society with two siblings. He was adopted only a few days later and renamed Felix. His new home came with a 4-year-old boxer brother, and while they’re mismatched in size,

Today’s Feel Good Fur-Day is about a kitten who’s stolen her new humans’ hearts and only caused a minor amount of damage to their couch and curtains. The kitten we called Freckle came to TCHS in November 2025. She spent some time in foster care (thank you, TCHS fosters!), where she was reportedly a little shy. Not anymore! Freckle was

Francine came to TCHS in November 2025 via Leech Lake Legacy, one of our frequent transport partners. She arrived with both Lyme Disease, spread by ticks, and heartworm, a mosquito-spread infection that can be deadly if not addressed. Our medical team went to work treating her, and she was eventually cleared for adoption with the understanding that she’d need follow-up

Everyone who lives with a cat knows this to be true: You can spend plenty of money on cat toys, but your feline friend may still prefer the box they came in.

One of the many great parts about adopting a shelter animal is seeing them shed their nerves and become the happy pets they were always meant to be. Today’s Feel Good Fur-Day features a stray pup we called “Dot.” The then-4-year-old mixed-breed small pup was found outside in April 2025. Not surprisingly, she was a nervous gal. She found her

There is nothing to solve here – we know that today’s Feel Good Fur-Day subject is 100 percent loved in her new home. The now-3-year-old cat named Scooby arrived at Tri-County Humane Society in February 2025. She was adopted about a month later and got enough feline siblings to partially fill a Mystery Machine van. “Scooby (affectionately called ‘the Scoob’

Today’s Feel Good Fur-Day subject got a new family, complete with a doggie best friend and a new name that suits her Husky mix genetics. (The cold never bothered her anyway!) The dog, then known as Shiloh, came to Tri-County Humane Society in December 2025 and was adopted four days later – that’s a real-life fairy tale ending! Now 8

Today’s Feel Good Fur-Day is about a young cat who overcame some early health challenges to find his groove. The kitten we called “Lovie” arrived at Tri-County Humane Society with siblings in August 2025. He found his match in October, and the now 8-month-old cat has been renamed Disco. “He absolutely is a loving little fella. He loves getting kisses

Happy 1st birthday to today’s Feel Good Fur-Day subject! The pup now known as Tuck recently celebrated this milestone, and life is very, very good. Tuck was formerly known as Cosmo, part of the “C” litter of puppies from Leech Lake Legacy that arrived in April 2025. We had the pups listed as mixed breed, as even our best guesses

Leave it to a spicy cat to bring a kick to his new humans’ lives. The black cat known as Jalapeno arrived at Tri-County Humane Society in June 2025 as part of a Leech Lake Legacy transfer. He was adopted about two weeks later, and the now almost 2-year-old cat is very much loved. “When we met him, he grabbed
