About American Humane

American Humane, the country’s first national humane organization, has a long history of work in Oklahoma. The group deployed following devastating flooding in Tulsa in 1984, a tornado outbreak in 1999, and the devastating 2013 EF-5 tornado in Moore. In 2016, American Humane, with funding from the Kirkpatrick Foundation and the Donner Foundation, placed a giant, new 50-foot animal emergency vehicle in Oklahoma City. American Humane and Chicken Soup for the Soul Pet Food delivered 13,000 pounds of free food to the Pet Food Pantry in Oklahoma City, and American Humane was involved in saving animals caught in the Oklahoma floods.
