Animal Humane Society - Golden Valley

Our Mission

Animal Humane Society exists to engage the hearts, hands, and minds of the community to help animals. We are dedicated to creating a more humane world where every animal is treated with compassion and respect.

More Than a Shelter

As one of the nation's leading animal welfare organizations, we serve the Minnesota community by providing direct care and support to thousands of animals in need each year. We go beyond traditional shelter services, offering low-cost veterinary care, food support, and outreach to ensure pets remain happy and healthy with the families who love them.

How We Care

We operate with an open-admission philosophy, providing a safe harbor for every animal surrendered to us, regardless of their health, age, or behavior. Our dedicated staff and volunteers provide expert medical care, behavioral evaluation, and enrichment, ensuring that every animal receives the support they need to thrive. We never place time limits on the animals in our care, allowing each one the opportunity to find their perfect match.

Finding Your Perfect Match

We believe there is no such thing as the perfect adopter, only the right match for your unique lifestyle. Our friendly team is here to guide you through a thoughtful, informal consultation process, answering your questions and providing resources to set you and your new companion up for lifelong success. We are honored to be a part of your journey in bringing a new family member home.
