The HSUS: Taking on Puppy Mills, Factory Farms, the Fur Trade, Trophy Hunting, Animal Cosmetics Testing and Other Cruel Industries

Together with millions of supporters, we take on puppy mills, factory farms, the fur trade, trophy hunting, animal cosmetics testing and other cruel industries. We rescue and care for thousands of animals every year through our Animal Rescue Team’s work and other hands-on animal care services.

Earlier this year, the HSUS Animal Rescue Team was approached by the U.S. Department of Justice to remove roughly 4,000 beagles from a breeding facility that supplied laboratories that test on animals. As of Labor Day weekend, all 4,000 were on their way to loving homes! While the Humane Society of the United States is no longer fundraising for the rescue and transportation of the 4000 beagles, the Animal Rescue Team and donations are always needed for extraordinary events like the beagles, natural disasters, hoarding and cruelty cases that require their immediate response.

As a donor, you can fund immediate response efforts and help the Humane Society of the United States fight all forms of animal cruelty by donating to them through your employer’s workplace giving program. While there may be multiple donation options depending on your employer-sponsored charitable giving program, payroll deduction pledges in particular are a cost effective and near effortless way to support the Humane Society of the United States and have a big impact.

For instance:

• $1.00 per pay period (x 26 paychecks = $26 total) buys a large bag of dry cat food for the HSUS Animal Rescue team.
• $5.00 per pay period (x 26 pay checks = $130 total) rescues one animal from a puppy mill, hoarding or fighting situation.
• $8.00 per pay period (x 26 checks = $208 total) provides basic medical care to ready four rescued animals for placement into a new home.

If you work in the private sector, or work for a State/county/local government or municipal agency, please contact your HR for a link to your organization's workplace giving donation site.
