Huzzah! The weather has leveled off so I’m able to head back to Tri County Humane Society in St. Cloud and photograph the adoptable dogs (and sometimes cats too!). Tuesdays are the magical day.
And prior to this week we were in a subzero funk that affected us for two weeks. Everyone was tired of the subzero, it was too cold to do much. Then the weather swung and now we’re in 40s & 50s (20 degrees above average) and all of the snow is melted and swampy mud has arrived, alluding to spring. But it still is February…
I was quite glad that the temps rolled to warmer, though the snow would have added a neat touch. And Tri County Humane Society was a little muddy, little icy and a little swampy (I think there were two volunteer ponds that showed up…). But the dogs didn’t care! They enjoyed being outside.
Clyde!
This adorable dude is Clyde! He’s been at Tri County for a bit, just waiting for the right person to give him a new home. He’s a lovely yellow color, has epic head wrinkles and is food motivated. He didn’t yank me around on the leash and he knows how to sit. Clyde arrived as a transfer from another facility so his history isn’t known. He seems pretty chill with the other dogs.
BTW his adoption fee is half off!
Remember, if you have a dog and you’re adding a new one to your family to do a meet and greet and do slow introductions to have the interactions go seamlessly!
Abby!
Look at those wrinkles! This lovely lady is Abby! She’s been at Tri County for a while and is quite excited to head to a new home. She arrived as a stray, so there’s no history about her, but she is sweet, energetic and full of bouncy puppy energy. She LOVES food, but may have some allergies which has made her lose some of her fur. (Ask TCHS if they know why she may have lost some fur). She is a fun, pint sized pittie who will bounce into the right heart.
Her adoption fee is half off!
Petunia
This lovely lady is Petunia! She’s a food lover and energetic, though a little goofy in her kennel (she may not like her barky neighbors.) She was found as a stray so little is known about her. She knew sit, but was very energetic about the treats. Highly food motivated with a big energetic drive, this girl is going to be a great hiking, adventure or dog sports companion.
Her adoption fee is half off!
Petra
This teenie weenie puppy is Petra! Don’t let her little size fool you, this lovely lady is full of personality! She also loves snuggling and being as close to a human as possible.
As of this posting, she does have an adoption hold!
Magic
This big guy is Magic! He’s a little particular about other dogs, preferring bigger dog friends vs small dogs. Initially his energy level was rather bouncy, but he quickly leveled out and was happy to work for snacks.
He will need slow introductions if you have another dog at home since he is a bit particular about his dog friends.
His adoption fee is half off!
Lucy
This lovely border collie lady is Lucy! She was shy, preferring to tuck next to my side instead of sti in front of my camera. Once the treats came out, she became braver! She even offered her paws in a shake!
As of this posting it seems she has been adopted!
Lucy Linguini
This lovely lady is Lucy Linguini! She was a stray so there’s no information about her history. She is very very sweet. She’s petite with an epic tail that curls to touch her back. She worked the camera for snacks and would be a sweet, fun companion. I loved her tail and how her ears each had different ideas of how to hang.
Kipper!
This happy go lucky lab mix is Kipper! (What an epic dog name!) He is a little too interested in kitties, so a home without them would be ideal. He was energetic and food motivated. Originally he came as a transfer so his entire background isn’t known. But that smile! He’s a happy dude who would love an active home.
Jackal
This lovely lady is Jackal! She was a stray but spent time with the family who found her. They say she crates well, was friendly with the older kids and a little too interested in cats. Overall her personality is shy and it does take her a bit to warm up to new people. Once warmed up, it seems she is a high energy lady who would love an active household.
Ellie
Ellie is a lovely petite lady. She is quite energetic and enjoyed the tasty snacks (and getting as close as possible). She was polite on leash and has great eyebrows!
As of this post, she has an adoption hold!
Coco
What a sweet face! Coco is a sweet pup, originally a transfer from another facility. She worked for food (which means training will be a breeze) and walked nicely on leash. She’s got an eternal puppy face – she’s listed at just over a year old.
Blaze
This squishy little dude is Blaze! This cute puppy was part of an oops litter, the last one left looking for a home. He wasn’t particularly interested in food, wanting instead to crawl on me and be as close as possible. By the way, he’s got a great little tail that curls with a “painted” tip.
Bear
This stunning black pup is Bear! He’s energetic, works for food, has epic ears and a short docked tail. He is looking for a new home due to his previous owner moving. He is house trained, kennels well during the day and tolerates baths when peanut butter lick mats are involved. He would love an active household that would take him on epic adventures!
Bently
This little squish is Bently! Originally he came with his siblings as a transfer. He was adopted but wasn’t the right fit and now is looking for his perfect home. This dude is bouncy – as in literal hops. He’s got lots of playful energy and was interested in treats (which means training should be relatively easy). When he was in the back kennel he play pounced when I walked by with Magic. He will be a bouncy, fun loving dude. Plus he’s got some neat ears!
These are the adoptable dogs I photographed on Tuesday. If you’re interested in any of them stop in to Tri County Humane Society and meet them in person!
