The HSRWC houses homeless animals until they are adopted! Help us find homes for these animals!
Mission
To improve the quality of life for companion animals, to place homeless cats and dogs in suitable homes, and to provide programs to reduce the overpopulation and euthanasia of companion animals. Adoption Statement
The Humane Society of Richland - Wilkin Counties (HSRWC) reserves the right to decline adoption of any animal for any reason if it feels that the home will not be a good match. P
lease understand that by answering questions and filling out adoption forms does not guarantee the adoption of the pet, nor are you obligated to adopt the pet. We adopt to homes that are the best fit for our animals' needs and not on a first-come/first-serve basis. Company Overview
We shelter and care for homeless animals in the Richland-Wilkin county area with hopes of finding them new homes through foster care or adoption. Directions
We are located to the west of the Dakota Vet Clinic and the bowling alley is down the road from us.
Thank you to Nose to Toes Grooming for giving Dexter a spa day ❤️😍

Woohoo! Penny was adopted today! ❤️ Her dad said, "Hi there! Just wanted to give you a quick update, Ms. Penny is doing well, she’s eating her full amounts now she was a little shy to eat at first, she really loves hanging around us while we do our normal stuff. She’s been playing with her toys a lot more now that she’s more comfortable. She’s found a place on a shelf that she likes, she has to shove some stuff off to get to it but that’s okay 😅. She also loves sitting in our office chairs. Any chance she sees that they’re empty she almost runs to them to take a nap on them. I’ve attached some pics and videos of her for ya."
Congratulations to Penny and her dad! 🎉
Thank you to whoever left the cans of soft dog food at our front door this morning ❤️ Thank you to whoever donated two bags of dry puppy food yesterday ❤️ Thank you to whoever sent the big box of paper towels earlier this week ❤️ Thank you to Keely for the bath towels ❤️ (We don't need the bath towels, but we'll still find a home for them 😉😜)
Thank you to Marley, her family, her friends, and her friends' families for donating even more clumpable kitty litter after her birthday party yesterday! ❤️ Happy birthday again, Marley! ❤️🎂🎉🎁
If you scroll wayyyyyyyyy back on our feed, you'll find this guy, One-Eyed Jack 😄 He was a stray cat who came in with a busted eye 😬😢 The vet figures that an animal (most likely another cat) got into a fight with One-Eyed Jack, and that animal's claw popped his eyeball like it was a balloon 🙈 So the vet stitched his eye shut when he went in to be neutered 👍🏻
Anyway, I ran into his mom yesterday and she remembered to send an update on One-Eyed Jack to us tonight ❤️🥹🥰
He's such a big kitty now 😯🏴☠️😻
Curious about who's available for adoption? Hereya go! Everybody's information is located here:

Awww yiiiis, we received an update on Sammy Lee! ❤️😁 Sammy Lee was one of the kittens who someone dumped in our backyard last October. His sister, Boo, didn't make it 🥺😔💔 Boo's gonna meet me at the Rainbow Bridge someday ❤️🥹🌈😇 Anyway, I included photos of what Sammy Lee looked like when we rescued him from our backyard. I'm SO HAPPY to see him fat and happy ❤️😍🥰
His mom said:
"Hello Mom Brigette,
Lookit how big and beautiful I've grown.
I'm a full-blown naughty boy. I have selective hearing, and water squirts only annoys me.
Prone to get the zoomies and love to play.
Here are some photos, I like my outdoor time; we have a large safe kennel, chicken wire secured across the top, with our kitty hutch in it.
One of my pictures I'm sitting in mom's potato drawer watching her.
And sleeping on mom is the best.
All for now,
Sweet Boy Sammy Lee & Mom A"
Unfortunately it's foxtail season again 😞 Foxtail plants are a weed-type grass that can cause serious problems for animals!
Ear infections, nosebleeds/rhinitis, pyothorax, abscesses and tetanus are just SOME of the serious issues that can come from these little guys! If you notice your pet repeatedly sneezing, pawing at their ears, coughing or acting uncomfortable, these could be signs of a possible foxtail and should seek medical attention as soon as possible.
Awww yiiiis, we received an update on Blair and Buffy! ❤️😁 Their mom said, "Hello Brigette and Team! Our girls are still doing great, and their cuteness adds SO much to my days! We play a lot, but I'm not coordinated enough to take good photos and keep them entertained with the wand - LOL!
I let them out of the 'kitten room / office' on Sunday because they were being so bold. Well, that was a little scary so I just leave the door open half way a few times a day. They can't stop their natural curiosity so bit by bit, they explore more.
I know one day very soon everything will belong to them, and I'll just be a guest here! 😸
I hope you all are doing well and enjoying these summer days! ⛱️
Note Blair's shadow from her sitting in the window while Buffy is trying to get her rays - it's never a dull moment!"
Woohoo! We received an update on Summer! ❤️ Her mom said, "Just realized it’s been one week since we brought Summer (Holly) home! She’s adjusted so well it seems like longer. She has made herself at home! We have a finished basement and she had no problem with the stairs, she zooms up and down them (good exercise!) she loves visits from our grandkids (ages 5 and 7), the more petting the better! And with me having leg issues, I am often up at night, she always sits on my lap or beside me and keeps me company. Summer has already worked her way into our home and hearts."

Woohoo! We received an update on Ryder (orange) and Char (black) 😊 Their mom said, "Ryder and Char claiming our bed lol Lol I love that she looks broken such a silly kitty 💖 They have been doing great! They love each other and play together. Soak up all the loves from everyone 💜" #HappyTears #HappyTails
Tonight's the night for updates on adopted animals, lol 😆 We received an update on the boofer, Charlie the Bloodhound 👍🏻 His dad said, "Charlie hounding me for some food. He is doing good his coat is getting shiny now." #HappyTears #HappyTails 🥹❤️
Thank you to whoever donated two smaller dog beds today! You've given Mister and Pâté larger beds to cuddle in ❤️🥰 They're brothers and a bonded pair. They're currently in isolation, but they will be available for adoption in the near future 😊
Speaking of Ryder, we already have an update! His mom said, "We are over the moon 🌙 with this sweet boy! He is getting all of the pets and loves. He is still adjusting to our home and slowly coming out of his shell. I am already so in love 🥰" #HappyTears #HappyTails 🥹❤️
Thank you to Fire & Iron Station 126 for holding a motorcycle and vehicle run for our humane society today! Thank you to everyone who is participating! We hope you have fun! ❤️🥰
Hey everyone! 👋🏻 We're running low on regular bleach again and would appreciate if we could receive donations of regular bleach 🥺🙏🏻 We cannot use "low splash" bleach Check out our Amazon wishlist: https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/KNLUE4MMHIG1?ref_=wl_share
Thank you SO MUCH to the folks at Tractor Supply for donating a bunch of dry cat food today! ❤️ I purchased a gift card holder baseball cap with my own money the other day. I thought I'd try putting it on Mama KitKat, Snickers', and Twix's heads, but it didn't work out too well 😜
Cash already knows how to play fetch with squeaky toys! 😯 *imagines him as a really good hunting dog in the future* 💭❤️😍 I listed him as available for adoption on Petfinder this morning 👍🏻
Yay! We have an updated video of Onyx! 😁❤️ His dad says, "Onyx has NEVER ventured into the hallway before. Juniper totally was like 'It's fun let's go!' She so badly wants him to play with her out there. 🤣" . I LOVE how sweet this is!!! 🥺❤️ Juniper reassuring Onyx that the hallway is nice 🥺❤️😍🥰
Woohoo! We have an update on Rowan! 😁👍🏻 Her pet parents said, "This is Rowan in January upset about something; she has also howled once in response to a team of sled dogs who were barking. She is incredibly talkative, and remains a cuddly puppy." They captioned this video with, "When the toddler has a tantrum, but really they need a nap. (Actually she's just talking...a lot)." 😂🤣👏🏻 I love her 🥺❤️ #HappyTears #HappyTails
Visited Reeses' and Almond Joy's parents tonight 😊 Here's an update on them... Apparently they tear around the apartment, chasing after each other 😆❤️
A little behind the scenes on this snow day... Hopefully Facebook doesn't flag me for using the audio 🤞🏻
We're gonna be closed to the public today... Our parking lot is plowed for now, but it'll likely quickly fill up with snow again 😫🥴🙈 Plus, we're snowed in 🙃 The animals are being cared for 👍🏻 Here's video of Grandma CeCe cuddling with Brigette from last night 😆 She was VERY HAPPY to spend extra time with her fave caregiver 😉❤️
Awww yiiis, we got an update on Mischka! ❤️ Her dog parent says: "Mishka has been a wonderful addition to the family. [My family] absolutely loves being able to hug, kiss, snuggle and play fetch with her. She has become my snuggle bug on the bed at night as well. I just couldn't say no to her. 🤣 She is well behaved otherwise, the accidents in the house are no longer happening and her and [my dog] get along great! She also is just fine eating dry dog food as well, although I still spoil them. 🤣 She knows how to sit, stay, shake with my corresponding hand: same for high fives, double high five, roller over (still tricky but she tries). She is great at balancing treats on her nose and catching them. She loves to play fetch although she can be quite stubborn at wanting to bring the toy back at times 🤣😅 gotta love that Husky stubbornness. She is just fantastic all the way around. I've also included some photos of Mishka since she's been here. She was not a fan of the reindeer ears but thankfully I had some luncheon meat as a coaxing helper 😅🤣😅" #HappyTears #HappyTails ❤️
Thank you to the folks with Fire and Iron Motorcycle Club for coming out to our shelter and holding a motorcycle run today! We hope you have fun ❤️👍🏻
