Services Offered
How to Access
If you need to report suspected cruelty or know of animals in crisis, please submit a cruelty concern through our online form or contact your local law enforcement agency*.
*While we are not a law enforcement agency, we serve as a trusted partner to those who are. We offer support, expertise, and boots-on-the-ground assistance when animals are at risk.
How to Support
The work of our Animal Protection Unit requires care, discretion, and expertise. Because of the sensitive nature of our response efforts, we are not able to involve volunteers from the general public in this work directly. But support comes in many forms.
Donations fuel investigations, rescues, and relief efforts, while spreading the word helps strengthen the network of advocates standing up for animals.
