Services
Animal Adoption
Heartland Humane facilitates pet adoptions for cats, dogs, and small animals. Our program includes health screenings, vaccinations, and behavioral assessments to ensure successful matches. Adopters receive spay/neuter services, microchipping, and ongoing support. We prioritize finding forever homes that meet each animal's unique needs while educating adopters about responsible pet ownership.
Foster Care
Our foster network provides temporary homes for animals awaiting adoption. Foster families receive training, supplies, and medical support while helping pets recover from illness, gain socialization skills, or transition from shelters to permanent homes. This program reduces shelter overcrowding and improves adoption outcomes by allowing animals to thrive in home environments.
Vaccination Clinics
Heartland Humane offers low-cost vaccination clinics for dogs and cats in partnership with local organizations. Services include rabies, distemper, and parvovirus vaccines, deworming, and flea control. These clinics promote community pet health while preventing disease outbreaks, particularly benefiting families with limited resources through sliding-scale fees and free vaccination events.
Pet Food Pantry
The Pet Food Pantry provides free food and supplies to pet owners facing financial hardship. This service helps prevent pet relinquishment by ensuring families can feed their animals during crises. We distribute both dry and wet food for cats and dogs, along with essentials like litter, treats, and grooming supplies through regular distribution events.
Community Education
Heartland Humane delivers humane education programs to local schools and community groups. Our curriculum covers responsible pet care, animal welfare ethics, and empathy development. Through interactive workshops and shelter tours, we teach children about compassion, wildlife conservation, and the importance of spaying/neutering pets to reduce overpopulation.

If you're looking to go adopt a dog I will always put this shelter at the top of my list. they take so much care for these dogs they love them with every second they have with them. They dogs are well taken care of and even I have adopted from here and seen the care and it's absolutely perfect. Heartland has a wonderful staff team!

If you want to go adopt a dog from this place, I would advise not. It's in a very creepy location. As well as they have a stupid rule that makes their viewing to the dogs by appointment only and it's not open to the public.

Closed on Monday's and Thursdays. During COVID you need an appointment to see an animal, so take a good look at their website. I showed up on Monday without an appointment, but they were still able to speak to me and give advice

Some one stars say these guys are picky and will decline certain folks, well I am glad to hear that. I have recently surrendered a dog because my family has a life style that is not fair for the dog, we all work full time and or go to school and work also if all you have is an apartment with no yard then I hope you get turned down if you should try and adopt because dogs deserve better. Keep up the thorough vetting of would be adopters.

You know I get it that places close but when someone is still here. I tried to save a mother cat and her five kittens. Due to the fact that my landlord won't allow me to have them because they was abandoned by their owners. So they couldn't be taken into the shelter because they are closed. I guess I will take them back home and see if they have a chance with the people that don't want them there. I don't know what these people are capable of. I feel sorry for the other animals that don't make it because their closed. I would give it less then one star if I could.
