Safe Housing Program

Started in 2002 to address the link between domestic violence and animal abuse.

It is an unfortunate fact that domestic violence and animal abuse often coincide. Sometimes, these occur simultaneously and in some instances, animal abuse is the method of spousal control and violence. As difficult as it is for a person to leave a violent relationship and enter a shelter, the decision can be made more painful when a beloved pet is left behind. Some people will choose to stay with the abuser and the pet rather than seek necessary shelter. Similarly, people who have lost their homes may choose to stay in a car or on the streets because they are unable to keep their pets otherwise. At the Mario Pastega House, some people have declined services and delayed medical treatment because they did not have care for their pets. Others drove hours each day to continue caring for their pets.


Expanded in 2010 to address crisis in its many forms and serve more people and pets in need.

The Safe Housing Program serves the animal companions of people seeking assistance or receiving aid from local social service organizations. This program is designed to enable people to get the assistance they need in a crisis situation without worrying about the care of their pets.


Safe Housing is a client referral program serving the clients of:



Pet Surrender

In addition to housing stray pets, our municipal shelter takes in animals whose owners can no longer care for them. We manage the intake of owner-surrendered pets by scheduling them in advance to ensure we have the space and resources to care for them.


Intakes of surrendered animals are by appointment only. 


If you live in Benton County or Corvallis, please fill out the appropriate profile below. Staff will contact you via email with any additional questions, to let you know if we are equipped to work with your animal, and when we are able to schedule your surrender appointment. If we are unable to work with your pet, we will let you know as soon as possible. Because we are receiving many stray pets this time of year, you may have to wait several weeks for an appointment.


For further inquiries about surrender information, the waitlist, or other general questions, please send an email to adopt@heartlandhumane.org.



Working Cat Program

Do you have a barn, shop, or other outbuilding? Our shelter frequently works with cats that are not suitable to be traditional pets. These cats would love the opportunity to earn their keep by controlling rodent populations and patrolling your barn, farm, or rural/industrial property!


Please note: This life-saving diversion program is for cats that are already part of the shelter system. We are not able to intake feral or semi-feral cats specifically for this program. If you have such a cat on your property, please contact staff to discuss our Trap, Neuter, and Return (TNR) program.

Before adoption, working cats are:

  • spayed/neutered
  • microchipped
  • ear-tipped
  • vaccinated (FVRCP and rabies)
  • dewormed

Things to Know:

  • Barn cats require a consistent source of food and fresh water as well as shelter where they can keep out of the elements and escape predators.
  • Find information on settling your working cat into their new home here

For more information, please email adopt@heartlandhumane.org.

Dog Training

Keeping dogs in homes with GoodPup

The key to a happy life with your dog? Training.
Behavior is one of the top reasons dogs are surrendered to Heartland. We are partnering with GoodPup on the mission to help every dog and dog parent live their best lives together. GoodPup has created training that is effective, affordable, and rewarding. GoodPup training is 1–1, at-home, on your schedule, with trainers ready to help 24/7. A week of private training with GoodPup costs the same as a single group class at most pet stores.

Bojangle's Dog Training Scholarship

Help a shelter dog make their new home a forever home.
For some shelter dogs, finding a home is just the beginning of their journey. That’s why we’ve created a canine scholarship fund to provide low-cost and no-cost training for dogs adopted from our shelter. You can help a shelter dog make their new home a forever home by donating to our new scholarship fund. This fund will be used to cover scholarships for GoodPup training subscriptions, giving adopters the tools they need to make these dogs’ transitions successful, as well as support the ongoing one-on-one work in the shelter to help these dogs during their stay.
