Join The Fun At Paws & Pumpkins On October 24th

It’s hard to believe it’s already been almost five years since the Tri-County Humane Society moved into its beautiful new shelter in St. Cloud. In that time, they’ve been busy doing what they do best — caring for animals and helping thousands of pets find loving homes. But between all the adoptions, rescues, and daily wagging tails, they never really had a chance to celebrate their new space.

That’s finally changing, because they’re throwing an open house — and everyone’s invited!

PAWS AND PUMPKINS

The Paws & Pumpkins event is happening Friday, October 24th, from 4 to 6 p.m. at the shelter, located at 735 8th Street NE in St. Cloud. It’s completely free to attend and promises to be a fun, feel-good evening for animal lovers of all ages.

Guests can look forward to treats, cider, and fall-themed fun like doggie stencils and photo ops. There will also be local vendors to browse, a pet photo booth by About a Dog Photography, and delicious drinks from Scooter’s Coffee. It’s a great way to meet other pet parents, learn more about what the shelter does, and see how you can get involved.

TCHS TOUR TIME

If you’ve ever wondered what goes on behind the scenes at TCHS, this is your chance to find out. The staff will be offering shelter tours, giving visitors a closer look at the incredible amount of care, love, and teamwork that goes into helping every animal that walks — or wags — through their doors.

While you’re there, be sure to check out one of the newest additions to the shelter: the TCHS Tribute Wall, located just outside the dog meet-and-greet room. For a $250 donation, supporters can purchase a custom metal tag engraved with the name of a special pet or person. Each tag is placed on the umbrella-shaped wall, creating a lasting and meaningful way to honor a loved one while supporting the shelter’s mission.

So grab your friends, bring the family, and stop by for a little fall fun with a lot of heart. The animals, and the people who love them, would be so happy to see you there.
