"We are Humane World for Animals. Formerly called the Humane Society of the United States and Humane Society International. Since 1954, we have worked to create a more humane society for animals. Working side by side as the Humane Society of the United States and Humane Society International, we’ve helped to pass thousands of landmark laws, rescued hundreds of thousands of animals, and cared for and protected millions more. In 2025, to convey our mission and make sure that everyone understands who we are and the bold work that we do, our organizations are standing together under a new shared name: Humane World for Animals." - https://www.humaneworld.org/en/about-us

A “no-kill” shelter is typically defined by a save rate of 90%. West Suburban’s save rate is 98%. We never euthanize for space or time constraints. By “no-kill”, we mean that once we take an animal into our care, we treat that animal no differently than if it was one of our own pets.
