We provide rescue and support for animals suffering from cruelty and abuse.
The American Humane Society’s Emergency Rescue Team is a trusted partner to local law enforcement agencies on large-scale animal cruelty investigations ranging from hoardings and puppy mills to organized dog fighting.
Second chance grants for shelters and rescue groups
Local shelters and rescue groups are often saddled with the steep costs of rescuing, sheltering and caring for animals in desperate need. Our Second Chance Grant provides financial assistance to cover the critical costs of rescued animals that are victims of human cruelty or neglect. These grants advance and facilitate lifesaving efforts that give animals a second chance at life when they wouldn’t have it anywhere else.
