American Humane supports careful assessment and planning on how to properly control wildlife populations so that animal numbers are appropriate for sustaining good health and welfare. In some cases, this would mean controlling the population of a species that can no longer be sustained in an environment of diminished resources, or is threatening to overcome other native species. In other cases, this would mean supporting reproduction of endangered species and working to develop species protection plans for saving a species and allowing for the proper reintroduction of animals into an appropriate habitat.

Accidents happen, and pets go missing. Microchipping your beloved furry friend is the best way to help ensure they find their way back home. #May is #ChipYourPetMonth, and we encourage you to protect your pets with a #microchip.
Daniel is a U.S. Marine Corps #veteran who served from 2002 to 2007 and was deployed three times to Iraq. He was paired with Ruby through our #Pups4Patriots program and says her calm presence is exactly what he needed in his life.
