American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals-ASPCA
Founded in 1866 by Henry Bergh, the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), was the first humane society established in North America. ASPCA representatives believe that animals are entitled to kind and respectful treatment by the hands of humans, and must be protected under the law. They maintain a strong local presence with programs that extend our anti-cruelty mission across the country, recognized as a national animals welfare organization. The organization provides local and national leadership in caring for pet parents and pets, providing positive outcomes for at-risk animals, and serving victims of animal cruelty.
