Photo Story: Heartland Humane Society
The Heartland Humane Society is an open-door, local, progressive, and non-profit animal welfare center. They opened up in Corvallis Oregon in 1966 by a number of different community members, looking to start a program to help the stray animals around Benton County. They are currently housing around 2,000 animals, and working to find all of them new loving and kind homes. They put on a number of different programs including Humane Education, where they visit classrooms to talk about care and treatment of pets, and Pet Food Pantry, a program that allows the community members who cant afford food for their pets to pick up free food twice a month. Their Mission: To build a more compassionate community by teaching humane messages to our youth, caring for homeless animals and strengthening the human-animal bond. This is Stewart. Stewart has been in the center for five months, and still keeps up his charm. Volunteers and community members can walk the dogs, and big yard is available
