The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA)

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) is a nonprofit organization dedicated to preventing cruelty to animals and promoting their well-being. Founded in 1866, it works through rescue efforts, advocacy, education, and animal sheltering to protect animals from abuse, neglect, and abandonment. The ASPCA also collaborates with law enforcement to enforce animal protection laws and promotes responsible pet ownership. Its goal is to ensure animals are treated with compassion and respect, fostering a more humane society for all living creatures.
