It is our mission to protect and enhance the lives of companion animals by promoting healthy relationships between pets and people.

 
 


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.

As of 2011, we are a licensed animal shelter in the state of Nebraska. All of our animals receive proper vet care, including vaccinations and prevention of common pet diseases and infections. We test for Heartworm in our canines and feline leukemia in our felines.

NEWS!!

Vermillion, South Dakota – May 21, 2013 – On Wednesday, May 22, members of Heartland Humane Society will team up with Cedar County Veterinary Services and the City of Vermillion to perform the humane society’s first TNR project.

To stabilize and ultimately reduce the feral cat population, many animal and governmental organizations are turning to trap, neuter and return (TNR), a method of managing cat colonies that involves trapping the animals, spaying or neutering them, vaccinating, and returning them to where they were found.

The project is being made possible with a grant from the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelity to Animals (ASPCA.)

“We are very excited to perform this TNR clinic and we’ve had wonderful support from Cedar County Vet and the city of Vermillion,” Kerry Schmidt, Executive Director of Heartland Humane Society, said. “Studies have shown that such clinics like this one can reduce the cat population by as much as 60 percent over time.”

A project goal of 50 cats has been set. Letters went out to area residents in the targeted Duke Street area earlier this month.

 

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:

 Mondays - Friday from 10AM -5PM and Saturday from 9 AM - 1 PM.

We are closed Sundays.

We believe everyone should spend time with their pet before adoption.  Please be sure to come in and plan to spend at least 20 minutes with your pet of choice.  Adoption paperwork takes approximately 20-30 minutes.

If you are coming in to adopt,
please arrive no later than 30 minutes prior to close.

Thank you!
