SNE Loves Pets

One of the first humane organizations in America, founded shortly after the Civil War, the MSPCA-Angell has seen vast changes in society, the environment, and the roles of animals in our lives. It has helped make laws and set standards that have fundamentally shaped our sense of kindness and care for animals - and for one another.

Today, the MSPCA-Angell continues to rescue, shelter, protect, heal, and advocate for more animals than any other American humane organization, giving hands-on care to many thousands of animals each year. We also provide emergency assistance and strategic-planning help for animal-protection groups across the country and around the globe. Through our legislative work, humane-education efforts, and community-based assistance initiatives, we help create lasting change for animals and people.

There are many ways individuals can help animals in need.  Here are some impactful actions you can take:

Adopt, Don't Shop: Consider adopting a pet from a shelter or rescue organization instead of buying from a breeder or pet store.

Volunteer: Offer your time at local animal shelters or rescue groups. Tasks can range from walking dogs to helping with administrative work.

Donate: Financial contributions, pet food, supplies, or even old blankets and towels can make a big difference.

Foster: Provide a temporary home for animals in need, helping them transition from shelters to permanent homes.

Advocate: Raise awareness about animal welfare issues in your community and support legislation that protects animals.

Educate: Teach others about responsible pet ownership and the importance of spaying/neutering pets to control the animal population.

Report Abuse: If you witness animal cruelty or neglect, report it to local authorities or animal control.

Support Ethical Brands: Choose products from companies that prioritize animal welfare and avoid those that test on animals.

Every small action can contribute to a larger impact in improving the lives of animals. 🐾
