Access to care for pets
The bond between people and pets is universal, but many families struggle to access affordable vet care. Humane World for Animals helps provide low cost and free veterinary care options to keep pets
Animal cruelty
Our toughest fights work to address the systemic cruelties embedded in factory farming, animal research and other industries that impact millions of animals.
Animal fighting
No animal should have to suffer the barbaric practices of dogfighting and cockfighting. Humane World for Animals is working to end this cruelty in all its forms.
Animal rescue and response
Local emergency response departments, humane societies and animal shelters often don’t have the resources to help animal victims of disasters and large-scale cruelty cases. That’s where we come in.
Animal testing and research
We are working globally to replace cruel, outdated animal testing with modern, animal-free research methods that are better for both people and animals.
Banning trophy hunting
Thrill-seekers kill vital wildlife for trophies, display, photos, bragging rights and prizes, and pay big money to kill rare, often endangered, animals abroad and take home their body parts.
Dog and cat welfare
Every day around the world, millions of dogs and cats face neglect and cruelty. Humane World for Animals rescues animals, works to end puppy mills and expands access to veterinary care.
Ending the dog and cat meat trade worldwide
