Very few shelters are run by national organizations. HSUS does not run ANY shelters; local Humane Societies are not affiliated with them at all. Same with the ASPCA---local SPCAs are not affiliated with them either (though I think the ASPCA does run a few of their own shelters, unlike HSUS). It's a shame they use similar names, because those 2 organizations take in enough money to save every homeless pet in the country, and probably most people who donate to them think they are supporting their local shelter. But nope.The "No kill" cat shelter near us is not run by any national organization that I know of,
