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!

"This beautiful Pit Bull Boxer mix was left out on her own until brought to the humane society. She was so scared hiding in the back of her kennel and at only 6 months and all alone who wouldn't be? I called my husband and within 30 minutes she was coming home with us. Her breed has such a bad rap but she is living proof that they aren't all bad.
