Heartland Humane Society is a local, not-for-profit animal welfare organization. Founded in Benton County by a number of compassionate citizens in 1966, our mission is To build a more compassionate community by teaching humane messages to our youth, caring for homeless animals and strengthening the human-animal bond.

Our programs include:

The central part of our program: the shelter.

• Running an open-door animal shelter where we care for more than 2300 animals each year
• Visiting every local elementary school with programs that sow the seeds of compassion and teach responsible pet ownership as well as safety around animals
• Providing services for low-income pet guardians such as a pet-food bank and administration of a spay/neuter program in conjunction with local veterinarians
• Behavior counseling and referrals
• Lost and found services
• And many more programs

We have contracts to house impounded strays and the victims of animal abuse for both Benton County and the City of Corvallis. However, these contracts account for less than 18% of our annual budget. The remainder of the money needed to carry out our unique and crucial mission must be raised by donations and fees for service. Please consider getting involved.
