American Humane Society

We lead the way when animals are in need. We come from many walks of life, and many places — all joined by a passionate dedication to humane treatment and protection of animals. Since our founding nearly 150 years ago, American Humane Society has served as a beacon for all those who cherish the human-animal bond. We provide meaningful, humane direction through an ever-expanding lens of scientific knowledge and grassroots compassion. And we make animals our top priority when it comes to their safety, their treatment, their wellbeing and their place in our world. American Humane Society is an authoritative voice of animal protection and welfare, and an internationally recognized force for promoting humane treatment and awareness. Our impact is felt around the world—through programs that began in the U.S., including efforts to protect and care for animals in times of crisis, and now continue globally through initiatives in conservation, community outreach and the advancement of humane standards for all animals. We make the world a better place for animals — come explore how.
