The Minnesota Humane Society (MHS) is a statewide education, advocacy, and rescue organization dedicated to protecting the lives and interests of Minnesota’s animals.
Founded in 1869, MHS is the oldest humane society in Minnesota. From its early victory in the late 1800’s of establishing one of the first laws making cruelty to animals a crime, we have consistently confronted the issues, raised awareness, and taken bold action to make Minnesota a better and more humane place for the animals. MHS extends its care and concern to all animals—both domesticated and wild.
