National Animal
Shelter Week
November 4-10
"Thank you" just isn't enough
We’re completely overwhelmed by the love you shared during this year’s National Animal Shelter Week.
That love is going to make amazing things possible for thousands of animals in need. Homeless animals will find safety, warmth, and shelter. Sick and injured animals will receive medicine, surgery, and treatment. Scared animals will find strength and courage through shelter behavior programs.
It’s all thanks to our amazing community of animal lovers who support our work and celebrate second chances — it’s all thanks to you.
On behalf of all of us at AHS — especially the animals — thank you for making new beginnings possible.

Your support does some pretty incredible things. From helping animals experience their second chances, to fueling humane investigations, and so much more, we can't do this work without you. In the slideshow below are just a few of our recent, popular stories — stories you make possible.
