Home - Heartland Humane

Heartland Humane’s animal shelter is open-intake.

We will never turn away a Benton County pet in need because of poor health, age, breed, or temperament. Saving lives since 1966. Find us on Oregon’s No Kill Network.

Our shelter is location-based, serving the pets and families of Benton County and Corvallis with lost-and-found pet services, low-cost adoptions, animal welfare programs, and humane education.

Our services are available by appointment. Details on our operations during Summer 2020 can be found at the bottom of this page.

The Thrift Shop is open! Thursday – Saturday, 10 am – 5 pm

We are taking precautions to keep our volunteers and the public safe. Please visit the Thrift Shop page for more details. If you’re interested in helping us resume this crucial revenue source, you can join the Thrift Shop volunteer team: Apply now!

Summer is here. Protect your pets.

Indoors or out, pets need access to plenty of water on warm days. Outdoor pets need access to shade and protection from the elements.

Don’t leave your pet in the car! Heat stroke is deadly and can happen quickly. Refer to the chart below to see how rapidly the temperature rises in your car, even on mild days and with the windows cracked.

COVID-19 Update for the Shelter: June 11th, 2020

Our #1 need is always high quality dry cat food. We aren’t picky about brand; as long as the first two ingredients are meat proteins, our cats are happy. We use adult, kitten, and senior dry cat foods, or you can purchase ‘All Life Stages’ food.
