We're Counting on You to Help Fight Cruelty!
The truth is, every 10 seconds an animal is neglected or abused. While this statistic might be hard to swallow, it's a reality we face every single day. And…we’re counting on you to help us out.
Learn Where to Report Animal Cruelty. In some areas, the police department investigates animal cruelty; in others, that job falls to local animal control. Find out who's in charge in your area.
Build a Team. Get to know the animals in your neighborhood and invite your friends and neighbors to do the same. Together you can keep an eye out for any suspicious behavior, lost pets or other concerns.
Pay Attention! Is a bad situation getting worse? Have you seen a blatant act of animal cruelty? Are pets disappearing from your neighborhood? Don't turn your back. Rally your team and call the local authorities immediately.
Make the Call. Without phone calls from concerned citizens who report cruelty in their neighborhoods, we wouldn't know about most instances of animal abuse. It all comes from the public—and it all starts with you. Thank you for taking action for animals.
