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 Mon - Fri from 9AM - Noon and 1 PM - 5PM with new Saturday hours from 9 AM - 1 PM.

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.
