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.

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!
