Founded in 1954, the Humane Society of the United States fights the big fights to end suffering for all animals, not just dogs and cats. We work to stop large-scale cruelty such as cosmetics animal testing, fur and factory farming, trophy hunting and puppy mills. Along with our supporters and volunteers, we work to pass anti-cruelty laws, promote humane eating, help animals in captivity and bring veterinary services to pets in underserved communities. Along with our affiliates, we care for more than 100,000 animals each year through our rescue teams, sanctuaries and wildlife centers.
