Sioux Falls Area Humane Society in Sioux Falls, SD
The Sioux Falls Area Humane Society has served the community since 1919, making it the largest animal shelter in eastern South Dakota. It takes in abandoned, abused, homeless, and unwanted dogs, cats, and other critters, caring for them until they find permanent homes, guided by its mission to be a safe haven and human voice for all animals in need. Located about 4 miles southwest of Sioux Falls, South Dakota, in Minnehaha County, the shelter is one of five animal shelters and rescues serving that county. Beyond adoptions, it offers community programs such as a working cat program, a pet food bank, microchipping, and community cat/TNR services.
