American Humane is first to serve animals around the world, ensuring their safety, welfare and humane treatment—from rescuing animals in crisis to ensuring that animals are humanely treated.

American Humane’s farm animal welfare program ensures the humane treatment of over a billion farm animals, the largest animal welfare program of its kind. And recently, American Humane launched Humane Conservation, an innovative initiative ensuring the humane treatment of animals around the globe in zoos and aquariums.
Continuing its longstanding efforts on strengthening the healing power of the human-animal bond, American Humane spearheaded a groundbreaking clinical trial that provides scientific substantiation for animal-assisted therapy (AAT) in the treatment of children with cancer and their families.
