We’ve led the way in fighting cruelty, rescuing and securing adoptions for animals in need, and driving significant legislative change that protects their lives and welfare — ultimately transforming how Americans value and care for animals.
The modern challenges facing animals are wide-ranging and complex, but we tackle these challenges head-on and in innovative ways, including providing vital veterinary care, responding to disasters, pioneering adoption and behavioral rehabilitation programs, conducting critical animal welfare research, training law enforcement and shelter professionals, and advocating for more effective laws. We also partner with and support shelters, veterinarians, and others who share our commitment to a safer, more compassionate world for animals.
Throughout our history, whenever we have worked to protect animals, we have always strived to address the root causes of their suffering — and that starts with working directly with local communities to create sustainable solutions and lasting change.
Our approach goes beyond rescue and rehabilitation. We believe that to truly improve the lives of animals, we must protect their habitats and tackle the wider threats they face. That’s why we work alongside local communities, who are best placed to identify issues and drive meaningful solutions. Together, we develop grassroots projects with clear, measurable goals — forming joined-up strategies that reduce threats to wildlife and help humans and animals coexist in harmony.
In a world increasingly threatened by climate change,biodiversity loss, and the spread of disease, it’s never been clearer that the health of animals, people, and the environment are deeply connected. That’s why we take aholistic ‘One Health’ approach, recognising that protecting animals also means safeguarding the ecosystems we all depend on.
