My story

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

🐾 Meet Mac! Your Future Adventure Buddy 🐾

Hi there! I’m Mac, a 3 ½-year-old Australian Shepherd with a big smile, a big heart, and big dreams of finding my forever family. I’m currently hanging out at Heartland, charming everyone I meet while I wait for my perfect match.

I’m a happy, people-loving guy who enjoys friends of all ages. I’m polite with other dogs, though I haven’t met a cat yet — but I’m open to making new friends as long as they’re kind to me!

Like any good Aussie, I come with plenty of energy. If you love adventures, staying active, or just need a cheerful sidekick to keep life exciting, I’m your guy. And when the day winds down? Don’t worry — I’m a top-tier cuddler.

Now for a little honesty: I’m partially house trained, but I’m working hard on mastering it. With a bit of patience and encouragement, I know I’ll get it down in no time. I also have a bit of an “escape artist” streak, so a home with a secure fence is a must to keep me safe and sound.

If you’re looking for a loyal companion who will brighten your days, boost your steps count, and warm your couch, I might just be the one for you. Give Heartland a call to set up a meet-and-greet — I can’t wait to wiggle up and say hello!

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.
