Top 5 Animal Welfare Groups to Support in 2025
As we step into 2025, the need for animal welfare organizations is more critical than ever. With millions of animals still in need of protection, advocacy, and love, supporting organizations dedicated to improving their lives can make a significant difference. At Treat Teasers, we are passionate about animal welfare, and we believe in contributing to impactful organizations that are making strides for both domestic and wild animals. Here are the top five animal welfare groups to consider supporting this year:
1. Best Friends Animal Society
The Best Friends Animal Society is working to achieve something remarkable: making the U.S. a no-kill nation by 2025. They’re leading the charge by rescuing pets from shelters and providing medical care, rehabilitation, and adoption services. Their work extends to helping local shelters and rescue groups develop better practices to save more lives. They also run the nation’s largest no-kill sanctuary for companion animals. Through our donations, we support their life-saving efforts and share their vision of a world where every pet has a loving home.
2. Humane Society of the United States (HSUS)
The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS) is one of the largest and most effective animal protection organizations in the country. They tackle issues ranging from factory farming and puppy mills to wildlife conservation and animal testing. HSUS works tirelessly to pass stronger animal protection laws, conduct rescue operations, and advocate for better treatment of all animals, whether they are pets, farm animals, or wildlife. We are honored to support their ongoing mission to end cruelty and make the world a better place for all animals.
3. The Animal Welfare Institute (AWI)
The Animal Welfare Institute (AWI) is focused on reducing the suffering of animals in human care, whether in laboratories, farms, or the wild. AWI works to improve housing conditions for farm animals, advocates for the humane treatment of animals in scientific research, and fights against the exploitation of wildlife. Their efforts in pushing for legislative reform and enforcing better standards of care align with our values, and we proudly support their work to protect animals that often don’t have a voice.
4. The Petfinder Foundation
The Petfinder Foundation is dedicated to helping homeless pets find loving homes by supporting shelters and rescue organizations across the U.S. They provide grants for shelter improvements, disaster relief, and adoption events, ensuring that more animals can find their forever families. By improving the facilities and resources of shelters, they help animals feel safe and cared for while awaiting adoption. We support the Petfinder Foundation because they play a crucial role in helping animals transition from shelters to loving homes.
5. Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS)
While much of our focus is on domestic animals, we also recognize the importance of protecting the world’s wildlife. The Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS) works globally to safeguard endangered species and preserve habitats. From elephants and tigers to marine life, WCS leads critical conservation programs, advocating for stronger environmental policies and educating the public about the importance of biodiversity. Supporting WCS allows us to contribute to the protection of wildlife and the preservation of our planet's natural ecosystems.
