Waite Park Stray Animal Fees

 
All stray animals found in Waite Park will be taken to the Tri-County Humane Society, located at 735 8th St NE, Saint Cloud, MN 56304.
 
Before claiming an animal at Tri-County Humane Society, the owner must first pay a $60.00 at-large fee, plus any on-call fees for a city employee to pick up the animal, and also license the animal, if not already licensed in the City.  Current proof of rabies must be furnished.

If the owner claiming the stray is not from Waite Park, they will still need to pay Tri-County Humane Society the at-large fee, plus any on-call fee for a city employee to pick up the animal, before the animal will be released.
