Is The Humane Society a reputable charity?

Founded in 1954, The HSUS is the nation’s largest and most effective animal protection organization—backed by 11 million Americans, or one in every 28. Recently, we were chosen as one of Worth magazine’s top 10 Most Fiscally Responsible Charities. For more information, you can read our latest annual report.

What can I do to help animals besides making a donation?

• Contact local law enforcement if you witness animal abuse.
• Make sure your pet is always wearing an I.D. tag.
• Prepare a disaster plan that includes your pet.
• Make sure your pet is spayed or neutered. Think about adopting a pet—you could save a life!
