WE WILL BE CLOSED FOR ADOPTIONS TODAY & OUR PET FOOD BANK DISTRIBUTION WILL BE RESCHEDULED FOR TOMORROW!

The weather outside is frightful.... well it could be worse, but nonetheless, we don't want to encourage people to needlessly be on the roads!

Our shelter animals are safe and we had great volunteers this morning to help with our stowaways! We will do our second cleaning shift about 3pm, but other than animal care, there is no reason to be out on these roads! Stay home and stay safe!

Share to anyone who needs to know, pet food bank will be held tomorrow from 3-4 pm after our parking lot is cleared and the ice is gone.

Today was quite an adventure. We had a transport scheduled to help 23 puppies and one kitty make it from the high kill communities they found themselves in, to our shelter where they were supposed to meet 4 other Nebraska shelters and rescues that were offering them safety and continue in their journeys throughout Nebraska. The good news is everyone is safe, fed, warm, and dry tonight, but none of them got to continue on from our shelter to their rescues as the weather and roads just kept getting worse.
We don't know what kind of snow is going to happen tonight (the weather forecasters still can't agree!) But we do know that we have a lot of extra mouths to take care of tomorrow, and maybe into Monday depending on how safe the roads are for travel tomorrow for our rescue partners.
If you live in Beatrice AND close to our shelter AND have a reliable vehicle that will handle whatever road conditions we wake up to in the morning, we could very much use some extra volunteers to care for the 15 extra stow aways! Please send us a message on this page if you would like to volunteer and what time you will be available. If we wake up and the roads are clear our staff normally arrives at 8am, but with safety concerns, arrivals may be delayed so make sure to message us before arriving.
P.s. the shelter will likely be closed for adoption tomorrow. As always, the health and safety of our animals and our staff takes priority and we expect to spend all day caring for the extra pups and our own animals. If you are interested in one of the pups listed under the Beatrice Humane Society photo they will be arriving on our website this week and appointments to meet them can happen as soon as you see them online!

Happy New Year! Let's see the update photos of our adopted animals of 2024 in the comments below!

In a year filled with challenges we never expected to encounter, we are reminded of the goodness of our community. The seemingly endless support that helps us save these lives.
We shattered our adoption record from last year of 1206 adoptions. We helped even more families keep their pets healthy and happy and in their homes with those that love them through our free vaccine clinics, low cost spays and neuter clinic, our pet food bank and our last litter programs.
We couldn't be prouder of 2024, and we can't wait to see how many animals and the people that love them we can help in 2025. The lifesaving isn't over. It never stops. 2025 is a new chapter of lifesaving!

Twas the night before Christmas and all through the shelter our remaining homeless pets are warm, loved and dreaming of their forever home...
However, someone out there is going to be panicking as their pup just got brought in as a stray. The good news is they are here, they are safe and with your help hopefully they will be reunited with their owners quickly. Give this pup a share so their owners can quickly find them?

Keep your pets safe this holiday season!

Pets are an important part of our mental and physical health and Lumos Mental Health Services is doing their part to help homeless pets find their families to love and support this holiday season with a donation drive! If you are in the Lincoln area and able to share this to help make this the most successful donation drive it can be, we would be much appreciative!

Donations can be taken to:
5715 S. 34th St suite 500 Lincoln, NE 68516

This wouldn't be possible without each and every like, comment, share, donation, donation drive, adoption, or even just conversation. You are the reason we are breaking adoption records year after year. You are the reason so many animals are in forever homes this year. You are the reason so many animals are alive to support the people who love them.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. It still doesn't seem like enough thanks.

Update! The shares are helping! I think we have 3 committed driver's for transporting the food and we have an offer of one more driver that is willing to transport people to move food. If you are interested in volunteering for 30-45 minutes of manual labor and a few hours of riding in the car between here and there, please let us know! Thank you so much for the shares!!!

Ok real talk- we have posted the pet food transport from Kansas City to Beatrice this Friday twice and we have had ZERO volunteers.
If we don't have any volunteers by Wednesday we will have to cancel this food pickup which means our petfood bank will not be able to operate in January for our friends and neighbors going through hard times will be without this vital community resource AND we will not have the canned kitten food we need to care for the 800+ kittens we will help in our shelter next year.
This would be a HUGE setback for us, but we can't do it without volunteers.
Please help us with a share, tag a friend, neighbor or relative who might be able to help.
This is important and we are running out of time to get volunteers lined up.

What is needed:
Friday December 20th
Beatrice 9am --> Kansas City (near worlds of fun) 1pm--> Beatrice 5pm
We can reimburse for lunch and gas if needed!
**2-3 driver/loading teams with Standard Pickup trucks or larger SUVs
-or-
**1-2 drivers and trailers and 1 vehicle of volunteer loaders!

No-Kill facility!

For many years, BHS (Beatrice Humane Society) has been sheltering abandoned animals, fighting cruelty and neglect, and working to build a caring, compassionate community here in Beatrice, Nebraska.

Although we have lots of volunteers and members, we are really nothing more than a single entity saying “Yes, I want to help!”

Help us to help you and a pet friend… check out what cats and dogs are available, or find out more about volunteering or donating to help the pets still awaiting families!
