The Hooved Animal Humane Society (HAHS) is a Non-Profit, 501(c)(3) organization founded in 1971 by six caring individuals who were shocked by the deplorable conditions in which horses were living. HAHS was the first humane society established in the United States to focus specifically on large animals, primarily horses. Unlike small animals such as dogs and cats, hooved animals had little representation until the formation of the Hooved Animal Humane Society. We are now in our 45th year. It is HAHS' mission to promote the humane treatment of hooved animals through education, legislation, investigation and if necessary, legal intervention (impoundment). We provide physical rehabilitation to hooved animals that have endured severe neglect and abuse, and then adopt them out to compassionate forever homes. All of our animals come from abuse and neglect investigations and we accept these rescues regardless of age or condition.Since our organization was founded, we have responded to thousands of calls requesting investigations of hooved animals in dire need of help. With the assistance and expertise of volunteer state-licensed investigators, we are able to respond to calls within a short period of time. HAHS also provides hundreds of referrals throughout the United States each month. In 1973, HAHS was the driving force behind the passage of “The Humane Care for Animals Act" in Illinois. Through the Illinois Department of Agriculture, this Act gives HAHS the legal authority to investigate claims of abuse and neglect, and intervene when owners do not comply with notice to remedy the situation. This Act is recognized as the legislative model by other states when drafting animal cruelty laws. HAHS is located in Woodstock, IL and primarily serves the entire state of Illinois, but also works in Wisconsin, Indiana, and Iowa regularly. HAHS is a nationwide organization and will collaborate with other organizations nationwide to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome hooved animals
