Help Save Sweet, Frightened Patches Before it’s Too Late!
Meet Patches, a gentle young pup who would love to find a home where he can work on being brave and confident.

Patches has come a long way during his time with PACC, but he really needs to continue his journey in a...

Black Dog Named Sam Finally Adopted After 871 Days At Oklahoma Shelter
For 871 days, a large black dog named Sam stared at the same four walls at Bixby Animal Rescue Network waiting for someone to choose him. All of his dog pals found homes, but no one came to meet him. People continued to pass him by, and he couldn’t understand why. The 4-year-old Labrador retriever mix is a perfect gentleman and goes potty outside and walks nice on a leash. He’s always up for a game of fetch and is a big goofball. Even though staff and volunteers showered him with love and affection, “Mr. Handsome” (as...
Yellowstone National Park Sanctions Hunting of Bison to Cull Diseased Herd
Yellowstone National Park has sanctioned the hunting of its bison herd as part of a four-month culling operation to prevent the animals from wandering onto public lands north and west of the park, the New York Times reports.

The culling has generated criticism, particularly because of the number of pregnant females that have been killed. More than 1,530 bison have been culled so far,...
Letter From Vincent: A Dispatch From the Director of HASS

We don’t always talk about people in animal welfare, but we should, because we’ve discovered at HASS that you can’t aid in animal welfare without coming to the aid of people—or without people helping you. This week, I am joining more than 2,500 of my friends and colleagues at HSUS Animal Care Expo in New Orleans. I’ve known many of these committed animal welfare professionals for two and a...
