Questions to ask yourself BEFORE adopting a pet.


Please be aware that the Heartland Humane Society has a very limited physical facility/shelter at this time that can only house a small number of cats.

We rely on our Foster Caregivers to provide homes for some of the cats and all of the dogs that come under our care. 

We also post Lost/Missing pets & Found animals on this site in hopes of finding their owners or a new home.

Feel free to contact us by phone or by email.

Heartland Humane Society is a limited admissions shelter, which means that we take in animals by appointment and only when appropriate space and resources are available to care for them.  We are located at 601 1/2 Burleigh Street in Yankton.  Our regular business hours are Monday - Friday from 9:00 am - 5:00 pm and by appointment in the evenings and on weekends.

If you have a stray animal or an animal that you would like to find a new home for, please call the shelter before bringing it in so we can ensure appropriate space and resources are available to care for the animal.

Heartland Humane Society is a private 501(c)3 non-profit organization. We rely on donations from supporters like you to help the animals of the communities that we serve.  We do not receive funding from and are not associated with any city, county or state government agencies, the Humane Society of the United States, or the United Way.

FOSTER HOMES NEEDED

If you have a love of animals and would like to help in some way, we have a great need to increase our foster family network.  If you have a place in your heart and your home to help in this way, please consider becoming a foster home.  With a limited facility, we rely completely on these wonderful families who open up their homes to animals in need. Check out the Fostering page for more details. If you would like more information, please give us a call at 605-664-4244 or email us at hhs@midconetwork.com

We will keep Board meeting dates posted here, and all are welcome to attend.
