Every day, emergencies take place -- natural disasters, large-scale animal abuse cases, puppy mill seizures. When disasters strike, animals are too often left in jeopardy. Many perish. American Humane's Red Star Animal Emergency Services™ responds to emergencies across the country to rescue, treat and shelter animals. We also help people prepare for disasters before they strike. When the unthinkable happens, we make sure vulnerable animals will stay safe.

The food you eat may be organic or from animals that were raised "cage-free." But were the animals that produced your food treated humanely? The American Humane® Certified program ensures that farm animals are given a "humane touch." American Humane works with meat, poultry, egg and dairy producers, guaranteeing customers that the products they select are from animals that were raised and treated humanely throughout their lives.

An estimated 3.7 million animals are euthanized in America's shelters every year -- not because they are unlovable and bad, but because there simply are not enough homes for them. American Humane is “Getting to Zero” the number of homeless animals and helping create a world where no adoptable, treatable animal will ever again be euthanized. Getting to Zero is the backbone of our Animal Protection Division.

Developed in collaboration with the Society of Animal Welfare Administrators, American Humane's Leadership Development Program is a series of trainings in shelter operations, management, fund-raising and other important areas. The valuable program provides shelter professionals with support, guidance and mentorship, granting them advanced credentialing to create and follow their career paths.

In movies, television shows and commercials, animals are featured as loveable sidekicks and key characters, enriching every plot and celebrating the human-animal bond. But who makes sure these animals are treated humanely and that their needs for food, water, safety and security are met? American Humane's Film & TV Unit has monitored the animal action on sets since 1941. From the mightiest of horses, to the smallest of rodents, American Humane makes sure "No Animals Were Harmed."
