Spay or Neuter Your Pet

It is very important to spay/neuter your pets. Not only does this help control the pet population, it helps keep your companion healthy. The Pierre Ft.Pierre Area Humane Society is now offering reduced cost spay/neuter certificates. There are no income restrictions, however you must be a resident of Hughes or Stanley County. You must also have proof that your pets vaccinations are current per SD law. This is a cost share program that is funded by community support and local area grants. The cost share amount is determined by the cost for the service. If you would like to apply for a certificate, have questions or would like to make a donation, please leave a message @ 223-2287 and a program volunteer will contact you.

No Surrenders

The Pierre/Ft.Pierre Area Humane Society is unable to take in surrenders. We are not financially able to handle any more pets than those we receive from the local pounds and law enforcement. Additionally, the animals we take in from the impound process have received all shots/vaccines and (depending on age) have been spayed or neutered, and are given a clean bill of health. It is not in the best interest of these pets to combine them with other animals of questionable health, and we do not have the room or volunteers to care for them separately. If you must find another home for your pet, we suggest you advertise in the media or hang up posters at local businesses. This is the same way we advertise our pets.

Abuse/Neglect

If you know of an animal who is being abused or neglected, call your local law enforcement immediately. The non-emergency number for the City of Pierre is (605) 773-7410.
