Who are Humane Heroes?

Humane Heroes are passionate animal advocates who have generously committed to provide reliable, ongoing support to Humane World for Animals, allowing us to continue fighting the root causes of animal cruelty and suffering to create permanent change. 

Be a Hero for Animals

We are the nation’s most effective animal protection organization. With you by our side, we take on the big fights to end suffering for all animals.

What impact can a monthly gift have?

Your monthly support can help save countless animals in dire situations – whether it's a natural disaster, cruelty and more.  None of this critical work would be possible without compassionate people like you.
