NOT YOUR LOCAL HUMANE SOCIETY 

A 50-State Report on the Humane Society of the United States 

and its Lack of Support for America’s Dog and Cat Shelters 

A PROJECT OF THE NONPROFIT CENTER FOR CONSUMER FREEDOM

INTRODUCTION 

A recent poll by the Opinion Research Corporation found that 71 percent of Americans believed that the Humane 

Society of the United States (HSUS) “is an umbrella group that represents thousands of local humane societies all 

across America.” And 68 percent believed that HSUS “contributes most of its money to local organizations that 

care for dogs and cats.” Both of these statements are false. 

Why do so many people have a false impression of the Humane Society of the United States? 

It’s simple. HSUS’s TV ads are full of sad music and sadder dogs and cats, and HSUS has “humane society” in its 

name. HSUS took advantage of this confusion by raising over $100 million from the public in 2014. However, in 

2014, only 1 percent of HSUS’s budget was spent on grants to support pet sheltering, according to HSUS’s newly 

released tax return. 

Recent research has determined that HSUS’s own donors are confused about where their money is going. An April 

2015 poll of 1,051 self-identified HSUS supporters found that 87 percent of HSUS’s donors were unaware that 

HSUS gives just 1 percent of its budget to local pet shelters. When informed of this fact, 92 percent of HSUS’s 

own donors agreed the group “misleads people into thinking that it supports local humane societies and pet 

shelters,” and 55 percent were less likely to support HSUS. 

This report documents the Humane Society of the United States’ grants to pet shelters in the 50 states and D.C. 

from 2009-2014. The data is drawn from HSUS’s public tax filings with the IRS. 

The gap between public and donor perception and reality is well documented. And official scrutiny of HSUS 

is increasing. In March 2014, Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt issued a “consumer alert” about the 

fundraising of national animal charities like HSUS. 

HSUS spending priorities are out of whack. Consider that in 2014 the organization: 

· Put more into its pension plan ($4 million) than it spent on pet-sheltering grants. 

· Sent $55.4 million to Caribbean hedge funds, adding to the $50 million HSUS sent in 2012 and 2013 to funds 

in the Cayman Islands and Bermuda. 

· Spent a whopping $46 million on fundraising-related expenses—ads that reinforce the false public perception 

that HSUS is all about finding homes for needy pets. 

HSUS itself acknowledges that between 3 and 4 million dogs and cats are euthanized in American shelters every 

year—about half of all pets that enter their doors. But while HSUS can clearly afford to tackle the problem headon, 

it appears to have other priorities.

CHARITABLE LOWLIGHTS 

In 2014, HSUS didn’t make a single shelter-aid grant in 11 states: Arkansas, Delaware, Hawaii, Iowa, 

Massachusetts, Nevada, New Hampshire, New Mexico, Tennessee, Vermont, and Wyoming. 

BRIBERY SETTLEMENT 

In May 2014, HSUS paid $5.7 million to settle a racketeering, fraud, and bribery lawsuit filed under the federal 

Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations (RICO) Act. HSUS and other defendants had allegedly paid a 

witness who lied in federal court during anti-circus litigation brought by animal-rights activists. 

FRAUD LAWSUIT 

In October, HSUS was sued for fraud for allegedly ripping off a dog-welfare charity based in Hong Kong called the 

World Dog Alliance. The Alliance had given HSUS $500,000 to help promote a documentary exposing the cruel 

dog-meat trade, yet HSUS allegedly took the money and didn’t do the work. 

CALL FOR ATTORNEY GENERAL INVESTIGATIONS 

In July 2014, Oklahoma Attorney General Scott Pruitt announced that he was issuing subpoenas to HSUS to 

investigate the group’s fundraising solicitations. HSUS has since refused to fully cooperate with his investigation. 

In July 2015, state legislators representing 11 states at the Midwestern Legislative Conference, a part of the Council 

of State Governments, called on their attorneys general to investigate HSUS. 

LOBBYING 

In Michigan and Maine, HSUS put more into its lobbying front groups pushing ballot initiatives than it gave in 

grants to support pet sheltering. In Michigan, “Keep Michigan Wolves Protected” received $300,000 from HSUS. 

In Maine, “Mainers for a Fair Bear Hunt” received $1,360,000. Maine voters rejected HSUS’s initiative. 

HSUS routinely spends far more on state-level political fights than on pet shelters in those same states. 

· HSUS spent 86 times more on its Ohio political front group in 2009 than it did on Ohio pet shelters. 

· HSUS spent 32 times more on a political front group in Missouri in 2010 than it did on sheltering-support grants 

in the Show Me State that year. 

· In 2011, that HSUS spent 90 times more on ballot initiative groups in Missouri than it spent on sheltering grants. 

Wouldn’t pets like those in HSUS’s ads have liked to see that money? 


HSUS SHELTER GIVING, STATE BY STATE 

METHODOLOGY 

To compile this list, we examined the Schedule I of outgoing grants provided by the Humane Society of the 

United States as part of its “IRS Form 990” nonprofit federal tax returns. 

For the period analyzed (2010 – 2014), HSUS’s tax returns were explicit about the purpose of grants. Grants to 

U.S.-based groups for “shelter aid to reduce pet homelessness and save lives,” supply assistance, veterinary care, or 

similar purposes are counted in this report, but spay/neuter-only grants are not included. Grants that were a mix of 

spay/neuter and shelter aid are counted in full.
