Anderson Humane is a nonprofit animal welfare organization based in Elgin, Illinois, with a history spanning more than five decades. In 2020, it merged with Fox Valley Wildlife Center, expanding its scope to care for injured and orphaned wild animals and broadening its mission to include all animals. The organization emphasizes creating meaningful connections between people and animals through programs that support adoption and fostering, veterinary care, and animal-assisted services. Its services for pet owners include low-cost vaccination, dental care, and spay/neuter clinics designed to make essential care affordable. Programs such as Military Veterans’ Services, Horse Riding Therapy, and Healing Paws Pet Therapy extend benefits to people as well as animals, while future initiatives aim to add a pet food pantry and affordable training in partnership with human-service organizations. In 2025, the organization received a Petco Love Stories award.
