Beadle County Humane Society
Our Featured Pet...
Our featured pet is "Buddy" he is a Golden Retriever male about 4 years old and is a great dog!! Buddy's only downfall is that he likes to chase cattle. He is good with kids but he likes to jump up so he should be watched around smaller children. We are really looking forward to the day that Buddy walks out of our shelter and into the arms of his new owners!
News
Our new kennels are up!! Stop out and take a look at our new digs, they are very well constructed and easy to clean. We want to send out a huge Thank You to Leadership Huron and Trusbilt as they all worked very hard on this project. We are now hoping to replace the surrounding wallboard in the dog room with stainless steel. If you would be intersted in helping with this project either manually or financially please contact Kim at 352-8955
Save your Coborn's pet points and receipts!! The shelter can earn money from the receipts as well as the pet points and for your convenience these can be dropped off at the drive-thru at both Dakotaland locations, both F&M locations as well as Bank of the West!
The Beadle County Humane Society has a low-cost spay and neuter program available to the public and encourage pet owners to contact us for more information. This particular program is for dogs that weigh at least 45 pounds.
Have you gotten your pet's license for the year? We would like to remind the citizens of Huron that if you are a pet owner your animal must be licensed yearly in order to live legally in the City of Huron. Licenses can be obtained at the shelter or by mail. The fees are as follows: Dogs altered $4.00, Dogs unaltered $8.00, Cats altered $3.00, Cats unaltered $3.00. We encourage people to have their animals licensed as soon as possible, by having your animal licensed, not only does is help us to return animals to their rightful owners but is also allows us to give accurate numbers to foundations in which we seek funding.
Would you be interested in fostering an animal? If so please contact the shelter as we get very full during certain seasons and we could really use your help!
Who We Are
The Beadle County Humane Society was established to address the needs of animal welfare and promote responsible pet ownership. Funding for the organization comes from city and county support for animal control, impound and adoption fees, and donations. The organization is governed by a volunteer board of directors. Among the goals of the Humane Society is to educate people on issues of responsible pet ownership. Of primary concern is the importance of spaying and neutering your pets.
Adopting a friend
Are you really ready for a pet?
1. Pets now live to be 12, 15 even 20 years of age. Are you ready to commit yourself to care for an animal for this extended length of time?
2. Many shelter pets have been abused or neglected. They offer lots of love and loyalty, but they may need special understanding, care, handling, and training. Are you willing and able to deal with and work through any problems that arise?
3. Many of our pets are found homeless, therefore we have no past health record. We strive to give all our animals vaccinations once they enter the shelter, however this does not guarantee the health of the animal before it came to the shelter. Are you willing and able to deal with and work through any problems that arise?
-We will not be rushed through an adoption. It takes about 20 minutes to complete the process.
-We will put an animal on hold for you for 24 hours if you need time to consider enlarging your family with one of our pets.
-You will be required to sign a legal and binding contract promising good care, kind treatment, spaying or neutering, and your ordinance of state, city and federal laws concerning proper care for your pet.
-If you rent you home, we must have a copy of the written portion of your rental agreement stating that you are allowed to house animals on the property. or a written statement from your landlord.
-We will refuse an adoption if we believe it is not the right pet for you or the right home for our pet.
After considering the information above, if you feel this is the right time for you to welcome a new pet into your life, please contact the Beadle County Humane Society.
