    Where The Stars Shine Brightest

    Our “No Animals Were Harmed®” teams monitor thousands of productions every year.  With established filmmaking guidelines, detailed production reviews, certified safety reps and more, we help keep the cameras rolling and the animals safe.  American Humane Association's Hero Dog Awards™ were created in 2010 to celebrate the powerful relationships between dogs and people; as companion animals, service and therapy animals, animal soldiers, police officers and first responders and emerging heroes.  Our Celebrity Supporters and National Ambassadors enable us to expand our mission of protecting animals and children in desperate circumstances.

    Red Star Rescue for Children & Animals

    American Humane Association began doing animal relief in August, 1916, by accepting an invitation of the War Department to help animals used by the U.S. Army during WWI.  Today, our Red StarTM Animal Emergency Services teams rescue and shelter animals in crisis and provide lifesaving tips to protect children, families and communities before, during and after disasters.  Red Star Animal-Assisted Therapy teams are on the ground year-round providing life-healing comfort for children with cancer, the aged, the infirm, and military families impacted by service.

    Healthy Animals, Healthy Kids

    American Humane Association created the first welfare certification program in the United States to ensure the humane treatment of farm animals. The American Humane® Certified program provides third-party, independent verification that certified producers’ care and handling of farm animals meet the science-based animal welfare standards of American Humane Association.  We are also working on a new educational curriculum for children on farm animals, to help educate our children about where our food comes from and ensure future generations are invested in the humane treatment of farm animals.
