About us
The ASPCA (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) is the first animal welfare organization established in North America and serves as the nation’s leading voice for animals. The organization’s mission is to provide effective means for the prevention of cruelty to animals throughout the United States. The ASPCA provides local and national leadership in three key areas: protecting and rescuing animals from crisis, assisting animals in communities and advancing legal protection for animals. The ASPCA was founded by Henry Bergh in 1866 on the belief that animals are entitled to kind and respectful treatment at the hands of humans, and must be protected under the law. Headquartered in New York City, the ASPCA maintains a full-service animal hospital, spay/neuter clinic, rehabilitation center for canine victims of cruelty, kitten nursery and adoption facility. In addition, the ASPCA announced a groundbreaking anti-cruelty partnership with the New York Police Department in 2013, which has resulted in a record-breaking number of arrests and animals’ lives saved. The ASPCA also operates programs and services that extend nationwide, including a Field Investigation and Response team that rescues animal victims of natural and man-made disasters, a fully-subsidized spay/neuter clinic in Los Angeles, a Behavioral Rehabilitation Center for fearful, under-socialized dogs, and a 24-hour, 365-day Animal Poison Control Center that provides pet owners and veterinarians with live, on-call assistance related to toxic products and substances. In 2015, the ASPCA acquired Humane Alliance, the nation’s leading training and education organization focusing on high-quality, high-volume spay/neuter. The ASPCA is a privately funded 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization supported by more than 2 million animal advocates across the country.

We’ll be chatting about better-hatched eggs at the PEAK Trade Show & Convention, and how in-ovo sexing technology can end the routine practice of culling male chicks. The ASPCA’s Senior Director of Corporate Policy & Animal Science in the Farm Animal Welfare Department, Nancy Roulston (she/her), will be part of a panel discussion “In-Ovo Sexing in the US Egg Industry”, alongside Innovate Animal Ag, Hendrix Genetics, United Egg Producers, and Eggheads Podcast / Ag Installers, Inc. As the industry explores and invests in innovative solutions for higher-welfare egg and poultry options, these conversations are more important and timely than ever. If you’re attending PEAK, we hope you’ll join us! #PEAK2026 #IndustrySolutions #Eggs

🎉 Same lifesaving mission, just a different century! 2026 marks 160 years since the ASPCA's founding, a huge milestone reflected in the countless animals we've helped over the years. We're looking back at how our work has evolved while remaining true to our mission to protect those who cannot protect themselves. From supplying water to carriage horses in the late 1800s to opening our brand-new Recovery & Rehabilitation Center for canine victims of cruelty earlier this year, we're continuing to build upon our incredible legacy. But we couldn't do any of this without animal lovers like you. On April 10, join us in celebrating this significant milestone and help raise funds for animals who need us most. 🧡 Visit aspca.org/GivingDay to learn more. #ASPCA #GivingDay #160years #90s #nostalgia

Popularity comes at a PRICE: The American Kennel Club just released its annual list of the most popular dog breeds in the U.S., with French Bulldogs topping the list once again. This type of “popularity” encourages commercial breeders to keep producing high volumes of puppies rapidly – at the expense of dogs. Frenchies wouldn't be number one without commercial breeders, and the AKC has no policy against registering dogs who come from commercial breeding facilities. Learn why AKC's top breeds list is harmful to dogs by visiting our blog: https://bit.ly/4bCYRs4

Today is National Puppy Day, and in honor of this adorable day, we’re highlighting the data behind just how many underage puppies entered shelters and rescues last year. Every year, puppies enter shelters in large numbers, which shapes intake trends, length of stay, and capacity planning across the country. Tracking puppy data helps organizations anticipate needs, allocate resources, and improve outcomes. 📊 Read our latest blog to learn more: https://lnkd.in/e84a95sF #NationalPuppyDay #ShelterAnimalsCount
