Welcome to Heartland Humane Society

"Connecting Great Pets and Great People."

HHS is a limited admissions shelter. Appointments for adoptions are encouraged but walk ins are welcomed. If you are wishing to adopt, call us at 605-664-4244 and we will return your call as timely as possible. Adoption services are Tuesday-Friday, 10:30am to 5:00pm and Saturdays 10:00am to 2pm. We do encourage calling to check on an animal's status before traveling. Some animals are in foster care and require an advanced appointment.

Due to limited staffing and safety concerns, we do NOT allow the general public to walk the dog kennels. We can introduce any dog you may be interested in adopting. Our cat floor is open to the public to visit but only volunteers are allowed to open kennels. HHS does have two community cat rooms available for public snuggles during business hours. 

Our intake process is appointment only. We DO NOT accept walk-in surrenders without an appointment as we only can take animals when appropriate space and resources are available to care for them. Our intake hours are Tuesday- Friday. Please call our shelter first if you plan on re-homing an animal.

All animals currently adoptable are profiled on our "Available Pets" page.

Thank you for choosing animal rescue over other options.
