The Heartland Pet Connection has been serving the homeless animals of south central Nebraska since October 2004. Our facility provides a safe haven for lost and surrendered pets and an opportunity for many families to find the perfect companion. Animal control is provided by the Hastings Police Department and the Adams County Sheriff’s Department.
At the shelter, animals are cared for with compassion and kindness. The safety and health of these animals is a priority for staff and the many volunteers that work at the shelter. Each animal receives veterinary care as well as necessary vaccinations and tests to ensure that it is in the best health before ever being put up for adoption. It is our goal to provide the best care possible for the homeless animals that need it the most.

Our HistoryThe Heartland Pet Connection is owned and operated by the Hastings Animal Shelter Association, Inc., a non-profit 501(c)(3) organization founded in 2001. We are a non-profit organization, not managed by city or county government.
The concepts of changing the community’s animal shelter was originally introduced to the community as the WAGS project – Wonderful Animals – Great Space. It was born out of the compassion felt by many of Hastings area residents who wanted to improve the lives of hundreds of animals that passed through the dilapidated city animal shelter. The original WAGS Project was a grassroots effort that has expanded into a variety of avenues all carefully designed to serve the needs of people and animals in this community. |
Our Mission statementThe mission of the Heartland Pet Connection is to serve as a voice for the humane treatment of all animals, and to better the connection of people to pets through education.
