Since 1954, the Humane Society of the United States has worked with animal lovers to protect animals on a national scale, fighting the big fights to end suffering for all animals.

Together with millions of supporters, we take on puppy mills, factory farms, the fur trade, trophy hunting, animal cosmetics testing and other cruel industries. We rescue and care for thousands of animals every year through our Animal Rescue Team’s work and other hands-on animal care services.

We fight all forms of animal cruelty to achieve the vision behind our name: A humane society.
