American Crystal Sugar awarded Scruffy Tails Humane Society a check for $5,000 to help with badly needed renovations to give the dogs and cats a safe, secure, and enriching environment.
The Humane Society of Polk County, Inc was founded as a 501(c)(3) in January 1982 with a desire to help animals. Over the past 40 years, the society, with the help of numerous volunteers and donors, has worked hard to help the animals that have come into this facility by finding owners of lost pets and loving homes for pets in need of rehoming.
In April of 2022, they assumed the name Scruffy Tails Humane Society in recognition of the strides they have taken to grow and develop a friendly, inviting organization for pets and community members. This society is entirely supported by generous donors and contributors. This organization will not euthanize due to a lack of space, time, or funding. Their mission is to aid in the reunification and rehoming of cats and dogs, to support the human-animal bond through community education, and provide safe shelter when needed. Their vision is to lead and inspire a community dedicated to saving the lives of pets and supporting the humans who love them.
The shelter provides impound services for Crookston and Marshall County and supports surrounding communities. These funds will be used to assist with extensive renovations as the shelter was built in 1993 and has seen hundreds of dogs and cats pass through the doors resulting in a lot of wear and tear.
If you are interested in volunteering, please contact Scruffy Tails Humane Society, 720 E Robert St, Crookston, MN 56716, or call 218-281-7225.
