We are 100% community-funded, have nearly 50 staff members and more than 400 volunteers to care for around 8,000 homeless and abused animals each year. The Sioux Falls Area Humane Society is the largest open-admission shelter in South Dakota and is committed to providing a safe haven and human voice for all animals in need.
