20 Years Since Katrina — Building a Future of Readiness

In 2005, Hurricane Katrina devastated communities and exposed a heartbreaking truth: too many animals were left behind when disaster struck. That tragedy sparked a movement, and for the past 20 years, American Humane Society has led the way in ensuring no animal is forgotten in times of crisis.

From hurricanes and floods to wildfires and tornadoes, our Rescue Team has deployed again and again, saving lives, reuniting families and bringing hope where it’s needed most. But our ability to respond depends on your support.

This September, your generosity goes even further. Thanks to a special matching gift, every donation will be doubled up to $25,000 to protect twice as many animals.

Your gift today will:

  • Deploy rescue teams the moment disaster strikes
  • Provide shelter, reunification and urgent medical care for animals in crisis
  • Equip families with lifesaving preparedness tools and resources
  • Give homeless and abused animals a Second Chance through critical medical grants
  • Support veterans and service dogs through our Pups4Patriots™ program
  • Supports all our life-saving and impactful programs

Animals can’t prepare for disasters — but you can. And right now, your gift provides twice the impact to safeguard vulnerable lives when every second counts.

Give now and your gift will be matched to protect twice as many animals in crisis.
