Animal Humane Society (AHS) established in 1878 and incorporated as a nonprofit charitable organization in 1891 works to engage the hearts, hands, and minds of the community to help animals. AHS's vision is to compassionately and responsibly create a more humane world for animals. Three core values guide AHS as an organization: be good to animals, partner with people, and lead responsibly with compassion. AHS is primarily supported through donations, fees for adoption and other services to the community, and sales of pet care supplies. AHS has locations in Golden Valley, Coon Rapids, Saint Paul, and Woodbury, Minnesota.AHS maintains two wholly owned subsidiaries: Animal Humane Society Veterinary Centers, P.C., a nonprofit subsidiary that provides high-quality, low-cost veterinary services to the public and Kasota Holdings, LLC, a nonprofit single-member limited liability company that maintains rental units in St. Paul, Minnesota.
