Mission
Animal Humane Society (AHS) established in 1878 and incorporated as a nonprofit charitable organization in 1891 works to engage the hearts, hands, and minds of the community to help animals. AHS's vision is to compassionately and responsibly create a more humane world for animals. Three core values guide AHS as an organization: be good to animals, partner with people, and lead responsibly with compassion. AHS is primarily supported through donations, fees for adoption and other services to the community, and sales of pet care supplies. AHS has locations in Golden Valley, Coon Rapids, St. Paul, and Woodbury, Minnesota.AHS maintains two wholly owned subsidiaries: Animal Humane Society Veterinary Centers, P.C., a nonprofit subsidiary that provides high-quality, low-cost veterinary services to the public. Kasota Holdings, LLC, a nonprofit single-member limited liability company that maintains rental units in St. Paul, Minnesota. AHS is the single-member owner of Kasota
Program accomplishments
- Adoption and SurrenderAHS helps thousands of dogs, cats, and critters in need find loving homes each year. AHS's commitment to open admission guarantees safe refuge to every animal that comes to us for help. Innovations and investments in medical treatment and behavioral rehabilitation ensure that we can help animals with even the most significant challenges. As a result, AHS now places almost 90 percent of the animals entrusted to its care, up from 59 percent in 2008. The success of AHS's shelter program is reflected in three key measures: the total number of animals admitted for rehoming, the percentage of animals with live placements (placement rate), and the average length of stay in shelter. In the year ended June 30, 2025: 12,331 companion animals came into AHS facilities. 10,814 of those animals more than 78% were placed in homes, reunited with owners, or released to other organizations. The average length of stay for animals in shelter was 12.7 days.Overall placements included 9,332 animals adopted, 793 animals reunited with owners, 569 cats returned to field, and 158 animals transferred to partner organizations. Robust medical and behavioral programs contribute to this continued success: 7,188 animals received spay/neuter surgeries before adoption. Spay/neuter and other non-essential surgeries were prohibited by executive order for six weeks at the onset of the pandemic. AHS veterinarians diagnosed and treated 13,853 conditions. AHS Shelter Behavior programs readied 3,109 cats and dogs for placement.Expenses $11,748,960 · revenue $3,810,997
- Community EngagementAHS works with individuals and organizations across Minnesota to create a more humane world for animals, including: Outreach to under-engaged communities, including education programs and free or low-cost services that empower low-income pet owners and improve the lives of pets. A pet food pantry that distributed more than 22 tons of cat and dog food and 4 tons of cat litter to Minnesota families in need. Temporary pet housing that provided foster care for 91 animals from 72 families experiencing temporary hardship. Education programs that foster humane values and compassion for animals, including day camps, a youth club, and other activities for kids and families serving 5,264 participants. A Community Cats program focused on reducing euthanasia and providing alternative solutions for feral and free-roaming cats through return-to-field and trap-neuter-return programs. This program served 569 cats. A robust volunteer program that enlists 1,018 active volunteers in providing animal enrichment, foster care, shelter support, and other assistance. In addition, 264 volunteers provided foster care for 1,170 animals before adoption.Expenses $1,920,259 · revenue $429,516
- Pet ServicesAHS offers programs to serve all stages of an animal's life, including: A free Pet Helpline (952-HELP-PET) that handled 72,508 incoming calls, providing caring, compassionate advice and resources to help with everything from solving behavior problems to finding pet-friendly housing. Compassionate end-of-life services, including owner-requested euthanasia for 969 pets and a weekly pet loss support group. Online resources for pet owners, including a pet resource library at animalhumanesociety.org.Expenses $391,015 · revenue $213,858
- RescueAiding animals in critical situations is core to AHS's work. AHS's humane agents respond to reports of possible animal cruelty or neglect throughout Minnesota. They receive reports about animals that are lacking proper food, water, and shelter. They also participate in larger, more complex cases involving cruelty, with on-site investigations, forensics, and seizures aiding law enforcement agencies that seek AHS assistance. During the year ended June 30, 2025, AHS's Humane Investigations unit received 1,210 requests for assistance and opened 1,031 formal cases. Follow-up investigation and forensics of these cases took AHS agents into 77 of Minnesota's 87 counties. Those investigations impacted the lives of 7,700 animals.AHS took in 2,011 animals from other animal welfare organizations throughout Minnesota and other states, finding homes for animals that would otherwise face euthanasia in overcrowded facilities.Expenses $320,346
- Affordable Veterinary CareAHS's Veterinary Centers in St. Paul and Golden Valley provide low-cost spay/neuter surgeries and full-service veterinary care on a sliding fee scale, expanding care to animals whose options would otherwise be limited.In the year ended June 30, 2025, AHS's vet centers provided 18,502 services to the public, including 8,964 medical and wellness appointments, 1,083 dental and specialty surgeries, and 8,455 spay/neuter surgeries.0
