For more than 150 years, the ASPCA has been on the frontlines in the fight against animal cruelty. As the nation’s first and leading animal welfare organization, the ASPCA has assisted animals in need through on-the-ground disaster and cruelty interventions, behavioral rehabilitation, animal relocation and placement, legal and legislative advocacy, and the advancement of the sheltering and veterinary communities through research, training and resources.
