Sonic and McSniffles

The adopter of today’s Feel Good Fur-Day subjects acknowledges their stories are bittersweet. She is hopeful that readers can keep these two little ones in their thoughts as they continue to navigate health challenges. The kittens then known as Walker and Apocalypse were part of our 94-cat intake in April 2024 from a Crosby home. They tested positive for Feline

We hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season! As we approach 2026, we’re thinking about new beginnings. Thanks to our community of adopters and friends, we’re able to give thousands of animals a second (or more) chance every year. And sometimes the glow-up is dramatic – like today’s Feel Good Fur-Day subject! The stray dog we called “Gizmo” had

Today’s Feel Good Fur-Day begins with a 10-year-old girl who had her heart set on adopting guinea pigs. She saved her allowance and promised she would be the primary caregiver (no Mom cleaning cages). Flash forward to Honey (formerly Honey Cappuccino) and Luna (formerly Espresso Bean) living great lives in their new home and with their young human, Reese. The

Today’s Feel Good Fur-Day subject is bringing a lot of energy to his new home. The kitten known as “Itty” was adopted in early July.

Wasp, now Baylor

Here’s the buzz about today’s Feel Good Fur-Day subject: A formerly shy puppy is growing into a confident dog who’s keeping her family on their (sometimes sock-less) toes! The mixed-breed puppy we called Wasp arrived in mid-August and was adopted about a week later. Her new family renamed her Baylor. “When we first brought her home, she was reserved, always

Working cats Betty and Eddie

Today’s Feel Good Fur-Day is about two working cats who were “hired” in May. They are on the job and doing well – even if one is elusive. “We already have inside cats, but were looking for some ‘working cats’ to help control the mice in our feed room. I was hesitant because I’ve heard the stories about outside cats.

Kratos, now Potato

Today’s Feel Good Fur-Day subject is a goofy dog now named Potato – and his family only has eyes for him. The 2-year-old mixed breed we knew as Kratos arrived at Tri-County Humane Society in May, and he was adopted after about three weeks, one of which he spent in foster care. “He brings endless joy to each day and

Rebecca, now Bex

Today’s Feel Good Fur-Day subject was kind enough to email us an update after her September adoption. (TCHS alumni are so literate!) The 4-year-old cat we knew as Rebecca wrote this: “It’s Rebecca here, but I now go by Bex! I just wanted to say that I’m loving my new home. My new humans take the best care of me

Paisley

The average length of stay for any Tri-County Humane Society animal is eight days. We think that’s a pretty fast turnaround, but there are those who “set the curve” – such as today’s Feel Good Fur-Day subject. She was adopted the same day she arrived at TCHS! Paisley is a 3-year-old pug mix who found her new home – very
