Welcome to Midlands Humane Society

Shelters are overflowing with animals misplaced or surrendered for numerous reasons.  Join our efforts raising funds to build a new facility for our community to provide shelter for animals like this in need.

Peter Kewit Foundation Awards the single largest private donation to date: $250,000! Every penny counts. Donations of any size are needed.  $5 or $500,000 – every dollar brings us closer to providing shelter to many animals in need. 

JOIN US FOR OUR ANNUAL FUNDRAISER! 

If you haven't attended our Let's Talk Derby - Run for Wet Noses yet then you are missing out! With an amazing silent auction, light buffet, doggy fashion show and derby hat awards - it is a fun-filled evening for humans and furry ones!

We also cannot thank our community enough for their support with our fall events! Our dog wash was a total blast....our dog walk a smashing success....and our Canines in Costume a completely family fun adventure! Each event and donation brings us one step closer to building our facility which will allow us to humanely save the lives of cats and dogs. 

WAG-A-GRAMS - Thank You for Your Support!

THANK YOU to everyone that is supporting this amazing event. It was another sell-out event for us! 

  • FIRST HUMANE SOCIETY:

    The Midlands Humane Society, a new, nonprofit organization, is working to construct a state-of-the-art animal shelter to serve as the first humane society for Council Bluffs and the surrounding area.  This shelter will provide more room and modern facilities to promote adoption by that special child or adult searching for a new family member to love and be loved.

    For this reason and others, a group of concerned citizens has formed the Midlands Humane Society. Its role will be to implement and manage the shelter.

    Land near Iowa Western Community College has been provided by the city, and the plan calls for a building that will meet the needs of the animals welcomed each year.
