About Animal Humane Society

Animal Humane Society, headquartered in St. Paul, Minnesota, is a nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing animal welfare through adoption, rescue, pet wellness, and community outreach services. Originally established in 1878 as the St. Paul Society for the Prevention of Cruelty, the organization evolved through the 2007 merger of three major Minnesota humane societies to form a unified, independent nonprofit. Today, it operates five locations across the Twin Cities region, in St. Paul, Buffalo, Golden Valley, Coon Rapids, and Woodbury, and serves over 23,000 animals annually. In addition to its core adoption and shelter services, the Animal Humane Society runs innovative programs like the Kindest Cut Clinic, which offers low-cost veterinary care to underserved pet owners and feral cat caretakers in partnership with local providers. The organization fosters a compassionate and mission-driven workplace culture and hires professionals passionate about making a difference in the lives of animals. As an employer, it has listed flexible work options, including part-time, freelance, and seasonal roles. Eligible employees benefit from paid time off, medical and dental insurance, a 401(k) plan, and discounts on pet-related services and merchandise.
