The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) was the first humane society to be established in North America and is, today, one of the largest in the world. ASPCA was founded by Henry Bergh in 1866 on the belief that animals are entitled to kind and respectful treatment at the hands of humans, and must be protected under the law. ASPCA watches out for Fidos, Fluffies, and other furry friends all across the country. The ASPCA (American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals) is a not-for-profit organization dedicated to promoting the humane treatment of non-humans. ASPCA engages in education, public awareness, and government advocacy effort, and it supports the work of independent humane societies throughout the US. ASPCA provides medical services and animal placement from facilities in New York City. About two-thirds of the ASPCA's revenue comes from contributions, grants, and dues from more than 1 million members and donors. ASPCA was established in 1866 by Henry Bergh.
