We rescue, care for and protect animals, and champion the healing power of the human-animal bond.
We have been a champion of animals for 150 years — driven by a legacy of compassion, kindness and hope.
As the first national humane organization, American Humane Society is driven by a profound goal: to rescue, care for and protect animals by taking action wherever and whenever they are in need.
We are protectors, advocates, scientists and innovators — united by our unwavering commitment to a world where all animals are safe, respected and prioritized. In pursuit of this vision, American Humane Society assumes many roles and responsibilities.
As rescuers, we deploy resources, technology and personnel with urgency and compassion to rescue animals from danger and disaster.
As advocates, we are the voice of the voiceless, shaping and driving policy to establish and expand protection for all animals.
As trailblazers, we develop and implement programs that build meaningful connections among servicemembers, change-makers and communities working with animals — fostering growth, healing and understanding for all.
As champions, we recognize and celebrate the healing power of the human-animal bond.
We rise to face new challenges every day in the service and protection of all animals. Our unrivaled 150-year legacy was forged through adversity — from disaster zones to battlefields to rugged wilderness — and we continue to set the standard as a beacon of hope for animals everywhere.
With your help, we will build a better future — for every animal, every day.
