Adoption Stories

Adoption Stories

We receive wonderful stories of TCHS alumni on a regular basis, and we want to offer our sincere thanks to all who take the time to share them with us. We are invested in each and every pet we care for, and we want the best for them!  This is why we do what we do. Why you give, volunteer, adopt, and encourage your friends and neighbors to do the same.

Share Your TCHS Adoption Story:  email your story with photos to pets@tricountyhumanesociety.org or message us on our Facebook page for future publication. We love to hear how our alumni are doing!


Waffle, now Molly

We love getting updates from TCHS alumni.  It’s especially sweet when we get to see a puppy or kitten we adopted out going through the stages of growing up! The puppy known as Waffle arrived as a transfer from Leech Lake Legacy, one of our frequent rescue partners, in early January. She was adopted a few weeks later, and things are going great so far! Her name is now Molly, and her first few months at home have been full of all kinds of learning.

“She has adjusted well and loves her big adopted sister,” her human writes. “She loves playing chase and, of course, treats! Her favorite is sweet potato chicken wraps.” Molly has potty training mostly down – “she sits by the door and just stares at us, and that look in her says, ‘Are you going to let me out?’ ”

Of course, this 4-month-old pup has a lot to learn still – like getting used to car rides, for example. But she’s all about bonding with her people. “She loves to snuggle and give lots of licky kisses.”
