humane society

Pet rescue organization

A humane society is an organization dedicated to preventing cruelty to animals and promoting their welfare.

Most operate local shelters for stray, abandoned, or surrendered pets, offering adoption services and spay/neuter programs.

Some also advocate for animal protection laws or investigate abuse cases.

We adopted our dog from the humane society.
