After Hurricane Helene swept through Georgia and North Carolina, displacing families and their beloved pets, American Humane’s Rescue Team answered the call to help. With support from PetSmart Charities, we provided food, clean water, and essential supplies to over 500 animals in need. Our dedicated team worked tirelessly to rescue, transport, and care for injured and displaced animals, ensuring they had the support needed to recover and reunite with their families. Together, we brought hope and relief to communities during a time of crisis. Learn more about our lifesaving efforts and how you can help:

🐾 A Hero’s Final Mission: Honor Military Working Dog Ares 🐾 After nearly 8 years of service—including critical security work and a 7-month deployment to Kuwait—Military Working Dog Ares is ready to retire. This brave canine hero protected countless lives alongside his handler, Sydney. In retirement, Ares will enjoy well-deserved rest and lake adventures, but he will also need ongoing veterinary care for arthritis and hip dysplasia. To ensure Ares and other animals in need receive care and support, Sam Rose—a loyal friend of American Humane—has generously donated $250,000 toward all of our lifesaving programs. Sam Rose is now challenging compassionate supporters like you to step forward and join him. 🎁 Your gift will DOUBLE the impact of Sam Rose’s gift—helping honor heroes like Ares and supporting animals across the country who rely on us. 👉 Join the challenge and make a difference today: https://bit.ly/3DmhlzJ
