Minnesota Federated Humane Societies was first established as a nonprofit organization in 1987. Since that time, we have worked tirelessly towards fulfilling our core mission: To uphold and enforce animal welfare laws of Minnesota.
343.01 PURPOSES; POWERS; COUNTY ORGANIZATION. 1. A state federation of county and district societies for the prevention of cruelty to animals may be created as a corporation under chapter 317A for purpose provided in section 343.06. The federation may appoint representatives in any county where no active county or district society exists for the purpose of receiving and accounting for funds from any source and may also appoint agents at large to carry out the work of the federation throughout the state. The federation and all county and district societies may appoint agents for the purpose of investigating or otherwise assisting lawfully empowered officials in the prosecution of persons charged with cruelty to animals. Appointed agents must have training and experience in activities relating to prevention of cruelty to animals or enforcement of laws relating to cruelty to animals. The federation may make bylaws as are necessary to implement its authority under this chapter and under chapter 317A.
The work we do is essential. Without our organization, our dedicated team of state humane agents, our staff, and other professional partners, our state would be a harsher and crueler place for all of us, not just animals.
Join us in our mission and in our effort to make Minnesota a safer place for animals.
