There are so many animals across Minnesota, Iowa, and South Dakota who need  loving homes. Thankfully, one Sioux Falls pup no longer has to wait for a new family.

After waiting behind shelter walls for 113 days, Tico was finally adopted from the Sioux Falls Area Humane Society. Happy days and happy paws are here again for Tico!

Officials with the Sioux Falls Area Humane Society could not be happier that "this ball-loving boy has finally found his new loving home." Tico wouldn't have his happy ending if it wasn't for you the Sioux Falls community.

Thank you to our incredible community for always stepping up when we ask.

YOU helped this sweet boy get seen, get his chance, and find the home he needed right when he needed it most.

The Sioux Falls Area Humane Society shared Tico's happy moment with its Facebook and Instagram followers.

Tico is just the latest dog finally have a second chance at life. Every animal who finds their family is a big celebration for the Sioux Falls Area Humane Society and Sioux
Empire.

From Frybread to Pheasants - Here are South Dakota's Official State Things

Every state in our nation has chosen things that represent the state in one way or another to be official state things. Like a flower, or animal. South Dakota is no different.

The Mount Rushmore has a state flower. But did you know we also have a state tree and a state fish? Yes, we even have a state code.

Here is what we have so far in Wyoming. Thanks to the South Dakota Secretary of State's Office for the info:

5 Things South Dakota Gave the World

South Dakota may not get much respect. We get a blizzard and it's a footnote on the national scene, but if Florida gets a bit chilly it's breaking news. But, maybe it's fine to be forgotten about. We kind of like being left alone on our quiet piece of the plains.

South Dakota has given a lot to the world though. Not just giant mountain carvings and settings for HBO shows, but awesome things that the rest of the world should thank us for.
