I got a second chance

Last year, nearly 7,000 stray and unwanted animals were sheltered and cared for at the Humane Society of the Black Hills. Half were adopted.

Will you help me?

Each animal that is adopted from the Humane Society of the Black Hills leaves the facility already spayed/neutered, with at least one set of vaccinations, has a nationally registered microchip, and comes with a certificate for a free veterinary exam.

I'll be a good dog

Shelter animals are not "bad" pets. Nearly all shelter animals were brought to us for reasons that did not include the animal's behavior. Often, people simply don't take into consideration the level of responsibility involved with a new pet!

The Black Hills shelter was originally established in November 1956 and was disbanded following the flood of 1972. In April of 1976, the shelter wasopened in the former wastewater treatment plant. It was remodeled with double high stacked small cages that drained into an open sewage trough designed to handle about 2,500 total animals annually, with 75 dog runs and 45 cat cages. The Pennington Humane Society was established November 1968. Later the name was changed to the Humane Society of the Black Hills (HSBH).
