Before the invention of internal combustion vehicles, horses occupied a gray area between working animals and pets. In New York City, horses were “carriage” animals that drew the trolleys and horsecars of the transportation system. The plight of overworked and beaten carriage horses inspired the creation in 1866 of the ASPCA (The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals). The ASPCA was responsible for introducing ambulances for horses and the distribution of free water for them, ensuring that by the mid-19th century, anti-animal cruelty laws included the protection of horses. The organization moved on to dogs, cats, horses, and other animal welfare programs.

One month after Hurricane Helene’s devastation, communities are still recovering and rebuilding. To help with housing for pets and to further support community members who sustained significant property losses, ASPCA Pet Health Insurance has graciously donated $25,000 to help purchase dog houses for those in need! These dog houses will provide shelter for indoor/outdoor dogs as well as those who lived indoors previously but their homes have since been damaged. Learn more: https://bit.ly/3UZ5BsA

USDA FAILURE: The recent monkey escape at the Alpha Genesis facility in South Carolina is just the latest incident in this facility’s long history. USDA continues to license them despite documenting years of horrific violations that range from filthy and dangerous conditions to animals dying, including an infant monkey. We must pass #GoldiesAct and hold the USDA accountable for protecting animals at USDA-licensed facilities: aspca.org/GoldiesAct

Right now, thousands of hungry animals are wondering where and when they will get their next meal. For homeless and neglected animals, a meal after rescue may be the first meal they’ve had in a long time. It can be their first step to healing – a special moment when they feel loved and cared for. Before they can feel full, safe and loved, they need people like you by their side. We’ve set an ambitious goal this year of 60,000 meals before #Thanksgiving for hungry animals. Your gift today will help us give more rescued animals the meals and care they need. Every meal counts, so please make a lifesaving gift to support hungry animals this holiday season. https://lnkd.in/eRWYPAH2 #nonprofit #givingseason #donate #giveback #animalrescue

The *nice Canadian* stereotype is hard to shake – perhaps because as Lori Bierbrier sees it, it's a wonderful way to live. Now based in Brooklyn, the Ottawa-born veterinarian and director of community medicine at the @American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA), complements kindness with an openness to the richness and variety of experiences possible in New York.

We're proud to continue this 17-year partnership with Subaru of America!

When dogs fly high they find a second chance at life! That's how these 30+ pups who boarded a Subaru of America sponsored flight found their loving homes ✈️ This June, 40 dogs were flown from Mobile SPCA in Alabama, to the Laurence G. Hanscom Field in Bedford, Massachusetts, where they were then transported by ground to MSPCA-Angell Northeast Animal Shelter in Massachusetts, and New Hampshire SPCA in New Hampshire. In total 33 dogs went to the MSPCA, while seven others went to the NHSPCA. This transport opportunity was part of our Animal Relocation Program, which works with overcrowded shelters to relocate animals to other shelters with space, resources and a high demand for adoption. Many shelters like Mobile SPCA have been experiencing overcrowding, with canines specifically, and these transports help find pets loving homes and increase their capacity to help more community animals! This is what we call The #RescueEffect – a ripple effect through shelters that's created when a dog is fostered or adopted. The flight was graciously sponsored by our longtime partner Subaru! We have collaborated with Subaru for over a decade and are a national partner for the Subaru Loves Pets® program - a program where Subaru and its 600+ retailers are committed to improving the lives of as many shelter animals as possible. Today, on National Make A Dog's Day, we are happy to announce that all 33 dogs that went to MSPCA-Angell have since been adopted! Continue to celebrate with us and Subaru throughout October and encourage people across the country to consider adopting or fostering a dog in need.
