Siouxland Humane Society

A world in which animals are not abused or neglected. A community where every pet is cared for by responsible and loving people. That is our hope for the future. Until then, the Siouxland Humane Society works each and every day to help all types of animals through our many programs and services.

Here are some highlights!

Through our adoption/surrender program we provide shelter, food and veterinary care to nearly 3000 pets each year. We find forever homes for 100% of the adoptable pets left in our care. Our adoption program has reasonable adoption fees that include preventative vaccinations, deworming, microchipping and a free veterinary visit.

The Siouxland Humane Society works cooperatively with law enforcement to bring justice for all animals. We assist law enforcement with investigation and prosecution of abuse and neglect cases. We also engage in selected advocacy activities through legislative and judicial processes.

We promote an appreciation of the human-animal bond through education and outreach programs to schools, youth and senior groups and civic organizations. We regularly visit many nursing homes and residential facilities and we educate thousands of children every year about responsible pet care, the humane treatment of animals and stress the importance of spaying & neutering.

Low income persons or those with a hardship can depend on us for help. Spay/Neuter assistance programs include SHS adopted pets, non-SHS adopted cats and Spay the Mom Cat for those with kittens. A program pays initial veterinary exam fees for pet owners with an injured pet, who cannot afford it. We provide shelter for animals whose family’s home has been destroyed by fire or those needing a safe haven while their family resides in a domestic violence shelter. The SHS provides pet food for those needing food for their pets. When people have hard times and need help, we are here!

The Siouxland Humane Society offers competitively priced euthanasia and cremation services. Pet Loss Support is available to help young and old alike cope with the loss of a beloved pet. Pet microchipping and registration are available at a nominal fee at the Shelter. We also sell pet toys and supplies with proceeds helping to operate the Shelter.

People unable to adopt can make a difference to pets in our care through the Sponsor a Pet Program. A donation to sponsor a pet helps harder to place pets find new homes. The Senior Pet Program matches hard to adopt loving pets to senior citizens. They may be older or simply overlooked. These pets are perfect for seniors who don’t want to deal with puppies or kittens. Breed Rescue moves animals both in and out of the Shelter. When space permits pets are brought into the Shelter. When needed we send them out to other shelters or rescue groups.

Without the help of our volunteers we would be unable to meet our mission or operate the Shelter. Our “Best Friends” are a group of volunteers who donate their time and talent to our programs such as In Shelter Animal Care, Fundraising, Education, Advocacy, Pet Therapy, Foster Care and Outreach Programs. They all have one thing in common – a love of animals.
