No. That's what they want people to think. But they don't actually run many (any?) shelters or do anything directly to help individual animals. They have a program they run every year that is supposed to provide dog houses to dogs, but they want a several-hundred-dollar donation for a SINGLE dog house. I managed to get about 10 dog houses out to low income people last winter by myself for less than their donation for a single house. And I'm not a well-funded organization with thousands of volunteers.
