Meet Today’s Pet of the Week!


You're my boy, Blue! And he's today's Pet of the Week from Tri-County Humane Society!

Blue is a neutered 4-year-old medium mixed breed boy who came to TCHS as a stray. He's currently staying in a foster home and his foster parents say he's a happy pup with a tail that just doesn't stop! Blue can co-exist with another dog, but prefers to have all of the attention and doesn't like to share said attention. It's unknown how Blue is around cats or children. Blue loves popcorn, squeaky toys, and cuddles.

One Day Remains For MnSNAP at TCHS!

October 6th is the last day that the Minnesota Spay and Neuter Assistance Program (MnSNAP) brings its mobile surgery unit back to Tri-County Humane Society.

Learn more about income qualifications and pricing here.


“Name Your Price” Adoption Fee Promotion For Adult Cats!

Adult cats one year and older qualify for the TCHS “Name Your Price” Deal! No strings attached; save the strings for playing with your new-to-you fur baby!


Need a Barn Cat? Call Tri-County Humane Society!

Not all cats are lazy overlords! TCHS often has “working cats” (or barn cats) who prefer the great outdoors. They do best in pairs or groups. Working cats are still spayed/neutered, vaccinated, and qualify for the “Name Your Price” adoption fee promotion!


Top Ten Reasons to Spay or Neuter Your Pet

  1. Your female pet will live a longer, healthier life.
  2. Neutering provides major health benefits.
  3. Your spayed female won't go into heat.
  4. Your male dog won't want to roam away from home.
  5. Your neutered male will be much better behaved.
  6. Spaying or neutering will NOT make your pet fat.
  7. It is highly cost-effective.
  8. Spaying and neutering your pet is good for the community.
  9. Your pet doesn't need to have a litter for your children to learn about the miracle of birth.
  10. Spaying and neutering helps fight pet overpopulation.

Book Buddies Reading Program

Pets love to be read to. If you have a kiddo (age 5-15 years preferred) in your household who would LOVE to read to a shelter resident, then the Book Buddies program is for you (them)! Pets don't care about mispronounced words, and it's beneficial for both the kiddo (who gets practice reading aloud) and the resident, as shelter life can be stressful.


For Pets' Sake!

Thursdays through Saturdays from 2pm to 5pm, For Pets' Sake Thrift is open next to the animal shelter! Get gently used collars, pet beds, leashes, apparel, and accessories, with all profits staying to take care of the residents!


GoodPup

Tri-County Humane Society wants you and your new family member to succeed, so they've teamed up with GoodPup to provide a customizable, affordable, and positive dog training program that you both can work on from home!
