Making a Difference

A humane society does more then just help pets. We help people too. Pets are connected to people so we like to take a holistic approach. Pets ground us...while at the same time giving us wings. They give us confidence, make us laugh and bring us comfort. Pets make it okay to act silly. We take longer walks because of our dog and run through the house pulling a string for our cats to chase. Pets make us whole. They bring families together. They remind us to slow down, enjoy life and savor the moment. We encourage you to learn more about the Midlands Humane Society. Please scroll around our website and take a deep dive into our daily adventures. Adopt, Volunteer or Donate. We encourage you to join in the efforts of the first and only humane society in Council Bluffs and Pottawattamie County.

A little ingenuity can help save the lives of shelter pets

byKori Nelson for Midlands Humane Society

Helping pets find foster homes can really improve their chances at a successful adoption outcome. Almost all shelters rely on the kindness of foster families to help get animals out of the shelter for even a brief time!

"We had just lost a beloved senior dog. About a month later, we saw the most adorable Lab puppies available at Midlands Humane Society. My husband, son and I fell in love with one of the littermates and were so happy to be able to adopt a puppy. Our home is full of energy and joy! Thank you MHS for saving so many animals in need!"
