Since 1899, The Anti-Cruelty Society has been committed to serving the needs of companion animals and the humans who care for–and about–them.

Our Second Century

Since 1999, the beginning of our second century of caring, we have found loving permanent homes for more than 40,000 pets, spayed or neutered more than 61,000 animals and taught messages of compassion and caring for the animals to more than 225,000 school-aged children and community groups.

Services & Resources

In addition to receiving and caring for thousands of animals each year, we provide a wide variety of services and resources. These include an adoption program, a low-cost spay/neuter clinic, a rehabilitation & treatment center, a low-income clinic, humane education/community outreach, cruelty and abuse investigations and rescue, dog training classes, a free behavior hotline, and pet visitations.
