We invite you to join our journey as we advocate for the humane treatment of hooved animals. Change only becomes possible through the combined efforts of many individuals who are united through a cause. We thank you for your support and for making our work possible.

The Hooved Animal Humane Society was founded in 1971. We are grateful to serve the community and for the opportunity to make a difference in the lives of so many hooved animals. Founded by six concerned citizens, we will continue with our mission of:

Promoting the humane treatment of hooved animals through education, legislation, investigation and, if necessary, intervention.

We are a 501(c)(3) organization and are supported solely by your tax-deductible donations. Thank you for helping us be there for the hooved animals. Your support is most appreciated.

National Scope

The Hooved Animal Humane Society is involved in a wide range of animal humane activities and has a national scope.

Founded in 1971 by six caring individuals who were shocked by the deplorable conditions in which horses were living. HAHS was the first humane society established in the United States to focus specifically on large animals, specifically horses.

In 1973, HAHS was the driving force behind the passage of “The Humane Care for Animals” act in Illinois. Through the Illinois Department of Agriculture, this Act gives HAHS the legal authority to investigate claims of abuse and neglect and intervene when owners do not comply with a notice to remedy the situation. Other states recognize This Act as the legislative model when drafting animal cruelty laws.
