Animal Humane Society The Animal Humane Society (AHS, headquartered in Golden Valley, Minnesota) is a private, donor-funded, nonprofit organization. It has two full-time and two part-time humane agents who serve all of Minnesota and parts of the Upper Midwest. In addition to Humane Investigations, the AHS also operates five shelters, receiving over 35,000 unwanted animals a year. The AHS Investigations Division receives approximately 5,000 service calls a year, a majority of which are for animal neglect or cruelty. These calls involve companion animals, livestock and wildlife. Without State assistance or major funding, it is impossible for AHS to process and investigate all calls but they are committed to doing what they can to help animals. Please consider donating to their efforts. Contact an investigator with the Animal Humane Society: 763-489-2235 NOTE: Due to limited resources, most other humane agencies in Minnesota act primarily as shelters or rescues and do not have paid investigation divisions; however, most shelters can direct you to the right person.

Minnesota Federated Humane Society The Minnesota Federated Humane Societies (MFHS) is a nonprofit organization that also investigates reports of animal cruelty and neglect, using volunteers. MFHS trains, certifies and appoints volunteer State Humane Agents to serve Minnesota’s 87 counties. MFHS exists through legislative enactment. Minn. Stat. 343.01-.40 (2004) “Its purpose is to assist in the enforcement of the laws for the prevention of wrongs to animals; . . . to aid [district and county humane] societies and agents in the enforcement of the laws for the prevention of wrongs to animals which may now or hereafter exist, and to promote the growth of education and sentiment favorable to the protection of animals.” Minnesota Federated Humane Society |
