No adoption fees this Friday at Minneapolis Animal Control
The Minneapolis Animal Care and Control (MACC) will be waiving adoption fees for animals over 7 months old on Friday.
All animals are microchipped, up to date on vaccinations and spayed or neutered before adoption, according to a post from Friends of Animal Care and Control, a group that volunteers at the shelter. The “Clear the Shelter” event will be at the MACC office, 212 N. 17th Av.
The building houses dogs, cats and small animals. Typically dogs adoption fees are $50 for Minneapolis residents and $250 for nonresidents, cats are $50 for Minneapolis residents and $100 for nonresidents and small animals are $10 or $50.
Moses, a 55-pound chocolate and white Labrador retriever and pit bull terrier mix, the shelter’s longest resident has been under MACC’s care for more than two months, according to the volunteer group.
Those looking to adopt must be at least 18 years old, have a valid government-issued ID, have consent from their landlord to bring an animal onto the property. All other pets in the house must be up to date on their rabies vaccinations, according to MACC’s website.

Prosecutors file sealed brief detailing allegations against Trump in election interference case
In their new indictment, Smith’s team ditched certain allegations related to Trump’s interactions with the Justice Department but left the bulk of the case intact, arguing that the remaining acts — including Trump’s hectoring of his vice president, Mike Pence, to refuse to certify the counting of electoral votes — do not deserve immunity protections.
Chutkan is now responsible for deciding which acts in the indictment, including allegations that Trump participated in a scheme to enlist fake electors in battleground states he lost, are official acts and therefore immune from prosecution and which are private acts.
She has acknowledged that her decisions are likely to be subject to additional appeals to the Supreme Court.
“I honestly think he used to understand how tariffs work,” Cuban said. “Back in the 90s and early 2000s, he was a little bit coherent when he talked about trade policy and he actually made a little bit of sense. But I don’t know what happened to him.”
Speaking in Pittsburgh on Thursday, Trump’s running mate, Ohio Republican Sen. JD Vance, pushed back against the Harris campaign’s claims that tariffs would hurt the economy. Vance described the tariffs as a way of discouraging imports and boosting American manufacturing.
“If you are a business, and you rely on foreign slave labor at $3 a day, the only way to rebuild American manufacturing is to say, if you want to bring that product made by slave labor back into the United States of America, you’re going to pay a big fat tariff before you get it back into our country,” Vance said.
Back in Wisconsin, Amara Marshell, freshman at UW-La Crosse, said she showed up to support Harris because she is concerned about what a second Trump presidency could mean for reproductive rights. Like her friend, sophomore Avery Black, Marshell is also excited about the possibility of electing the nation’s first female president.
“Women deserve to have power over their own bodies,” Marshell said. “We shouldn’t have to not be able to get an abortion just because of a president.”
Mary Holman, an 80-year-old retiree from Fort Atkinson, Wis., said she hasn’t been to a rally since former President Barack Obama’s first campaign in 2008. But Holman said she decided to get off the sidelines this cycle because she views the election as a fight to preserve democracy.
The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources will auction off state lands in popular northern counties next month.
The public land — in Aitkin, Cook, Itasca, and St. Louis counties — will go up for sale during the Department of Natural Resource’s annual online public land sale from Nov. 7 to 21.
“These rural and lakeshore properties may appeal to adjacent landowners or offer recreational opportunities such as space for a small cabin or camping,” the DNR said in a statement.
Properties will be available for bidding Nov. 7 through Nov. 21.
This all can trim for print: The properties include:
40 acres in Aitkin County, with a minimum bid of $85,000
44 acres in Cook County, minimum bid $138,000
1.9 acres in Itasca County, minimum bid $114,000
