My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Meet Paisley — A Gentle Observer with a Quiet Heart 🐾

Paisley is a soft-spoken, thoughtful cat who’s still learning that the world can be a safe and loving place. She’s not one to seek out the spotlight or demand attention—instead, she finds comfort in peaceful spaces, soft bedding, and the quiet companionship of her sister, Wednesday.

Rather than chase toys or compete for affection, Paisley prefers to watch from the sidelines, taking in her surroundings with quiet curiosity. She's naturally shy and still figuring out how to trust people, but there’s a gentle warmth in her that shines through once she feels secure.

What Paisley needs most is a calm, patient home—one where she can move at her own pace, free of pressure or expectations. A household without young children or lots of hustle and bustle would be ideal for her sensitive nature.

She may never be a lap cat, but for someone who understands that love can be quiet and steady, Paisley has the potential to become a deeply meaningful companion—the kind of friend who values just being near you.

If you're someone who sees the beauty in quiet connections and is ready to offer Paisley the gentle encouragement she needs, she just might be the one for you.

More about this shelter

Heartland Humane Society is a Private NonProfit 501(c)3 organization governed by a volunteer Board of Directors. We are limited admissions facility - meaning we that we take in animals by appointment and only when appropriate space and resources are available to care for them.

As a non-profit we rely 100% on private donations. We generate funds through your generous contributions, adoption fees, fundraising events, and sales of merchandise and services. All funds collected go directly back to the general budget to care for our animals.

HHS was established in 2006 from a group formerly known as the Yankton Area Humane Society. We serve Yankton and Clay counties primarily with an additional twelve-county area often receiving our services.

All of our animals receive proper vet care, including vaccinations and prevention of common pet diseases and infections. We test for Heartworm in our canines and feline leukemias in our felines. We contract with local vets to perform all surgeries and animal care at our facility. Each animal is microchipped and all animals old enough are fixed before being placed up for adoption.

In 2014, Heartland moved its operation to our forever home on Highway 50, allowing the shelter to double the number of animals it serves annually.

HHS again doubled its numbers in 2017 by opening an additional 4,000 square feet of facility at the shelter. At full operations, the shelter will be able to serve up to 850 animals each year.

Our shelter, now officially remodeled, boasts 19 kennels on our adoption floor plus four quarantine kennels and five kennels for our holding facility. We have 18 cat kennels on our adoption floor plus two community cat rooms where folks can snuggle with adoptable cats. We also have 16 quarantine cat kennels plus four kennels in our holding facility.

Volunteers have access to both an inside and outside play yard for our dogs and cat volunteers have their own room for socializing our felines. Our lobby also includes a merchandise area with top quality cat and dog products.

Come visit us today and learn more - 3400 E Highway 50 / Yankton, SD. We provide tours by appointment.
