Don’t miss the Humane Society of the Black Hills’ most popular summer event – the 8th Annual Wags & Waves bash at the Jimmy Hilton Pool! Entry is an encouraged $10 donation per dog. Grab the toys, put on some sunblock, and leash up your canine companion for some fun in the sun.
WHAT’S NEW THIS YEAR?
- Wags & Waves has grown exponentially since the original pool party many years ago! Thank you!
- To keep every human and canine safe, furry friends will be required to have a current rabies vaccination to attend.
- ONLINE REGISTRATION! To limit lines at the entry point, and to be sure the pool doesn’t get too crowded, pre-registering for limited opening time slots is highly encouraged. Our time slots include 2pm-3pm and 3pm-4pm.
The Humane Society of the Black Hills (HSBH) is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization that has worked with the community to provide shelter and care for lost and abused animals for 50 years. Incorporated on November 29, 1968, the HSBH currently operates the only major animal shelter west of the Missouri River in South Dakota.
Each year, the humane society rescues about 4,000 animals. Because of the shortage of shelters, animals are picked up and brought to our shelter from as many as 20 different counties. As an open-admission shelter, no animal will be turned away.
We are not affiliated with any other humane societies and rely on public funding and donations from our community to help us keep the doors open. Donations to national groups do not reach the pets that stay with us. To support local animals and families who need it most, please support your local Humane Society of the Black Hills!
