Best friends begin here! 🐾 We love seeing the special bonds that start at Animal Humane Society. Karla met their perfect match here and shared this Happy Tail:

“September 10th, our world changed forever in the best way! The moment I met Bronco, I just knew he needed to come home with me. Fun fact: I went to AHS to see a different pup, but when I met Bronco, I just knew he would be the perfect addition to our family! He is my first dog in all 41 years of my life, and my heart feels so full! He’s settling in great, and we’re learning a lot about one another. He is such a sweet and smart boy!”

Have a Happy Tail of your own? We’d love to hear it! Share your story here: ahs.mn/AdoptionStory.

Violet was found completely alone — no mom to protect her, no siblings to play with, and no human family. A concerned community member brought her to Animal Humane Society for care. Right away our team noticed a large, angry wound on this tiny kitten's back, and we knew we had an emergency on our hands.

Violet was quickly prepped for urgent surgery. Our skilled vets were able to close the gaping wound, but Violet isn't out of the woods yet. She needs a steady stream of antibiotics, frequent wound care, and continued observation to ensure she heals. She is also receiving treatment for round worms, and she's on a feeding plan to help her gain weight after her time as a stray.

We can't be sure how Violet ended up in this condition, but we do know all she wants is to play, cuddle, and find a home where she'll be safe and loved. Will you donate to AHS today and help us give this sweet girl her second chance?

October is Pit Bull Awareness Month and we’re celebrating sweet pups like Daphne, our Purina-Pet-of-the-Week! 🐾🩵

This 6-year-old pit bull mix has stolen the hearts of our staff and volunteers with her gentle personality and love for snuggles!

Daphne may be shy at first, but she has so much love to give. She enjoys leisurely walks, watching the world go by, and practicing her sit skills for tasty treats. Most of all, she loves soaking up affection!

Daphne is looking for a calm, low-activity home where she can build confidence and blossom at her own pace.

Could Daphne be your perfect match? Get to know Daphne and all of our deserving adoptable animals at ahs.mn/adopt.

🐾BIG NEWS-WE'RE WALKING TOGETHER! 🐾

One Leash Two Lives; Recovery Walks and Animal Humane Society are proud to announce the launch of Recovery Walks — a new program that brings together people in recovery with dogs in AHS’s shelters.

Recovery Walks will provide people in recovery with the opportunity to help socialize dogs at the shelter through outdoor time, enrichment and leash skills, and guided reflection — creating purpose, responsibility, and connection for the participants while providing meaningful attention and enrichment for dogs awaiting their new beginning.

One Leash. Two Lives. is an animal-assisted recovery initiative built around exercise, enrichment, positive socialization, and reflection to create meaningful connections for people in recovery.

Animal Humane Society's mission is to engage the hearts, hands, and minds of the community to help animals. Its work extends far beyond animal adoption and includes low-cost public veterinary care, resources to keep pets with their families, protecting animals from abuse and neglect, education programs for people of all ages, and more.

With a shared commitment to serve animals and the people who love them, One Leash. Two Lives. and Animal Humane Society are coming together to facilitate healing on both ends of the leash.
