Program areas at The Humane Society of the United States

Care for animals in crisis The Animal Rescue Team collaborates with law enforcement, government officials and fellow animal welfare organizations to provide rescue, relief and evacuation of animals in the U.S. and around the world. The HSUS coordinates the distribution of food and other resources during emergency field rescues and other operations. The animals rescued are suffering in puppy mills and fighting rings, are victims of other cruelty and neglect or are caught in disaster situations. The HSUS also works to prevent future crises by partnering with agencies on advance disaster preparations and animal safety plans. Continued on Schedule O
End the cruelest practices Stop puppy mills: * With the HSUS's leadership, New York became the sixth state to ban retail puppy sales with passage of the Puppy Mill Pipeline Act, groundbreaking legislation that will stop the flow of cruelly bred puppies to New York pet stores. The new law ends the retail sale of dogs, cats and rabbits in pet stores across the state, a huge step that affects 66 pet stores-10% of all puppy-selling pet stores in the U.S. Continued on Schedule O
Build a stronger animal protection movement Access to care: The Pets for Life (PFL) program supports pets and their families living in underserved communities while tackling the systemic inequity and institutional barriers faced by millions of pet owners who need care, resources and support for their companion animals. * In 2022, PFL helped pets across the U.S, in cities large and small and communities in rural and remote areas.
