Animal Abuse and Neglect

When you see a dog stuck on a chain for days or come across a web site that glorifies animal suffering, your action is critical to stopping it!

Animal cruelty encompasses a range of behaviors harmful to animals, from neglect to malicious killing. Most cruelty investigated by humane officers is unintentional neglect that can be resolved through education. Intentional cruelty and abuse is knowingly depriving an animal of food, water, shelter, socialization, or veterinary care or worse, maliciously torturing, maiming, mutilating, or killing an animal.

Animal shelters are your best source when looking for a pet. Not only do they have a great selection of adult animals for adoption, but they also have kittens and puppies, even purebred animals. In fact, on average, purebreds account for about 25% to 30% of a shelter's dog population. Many pets at your local shelterare waiting for new homes because they were obtained by someone with unrealistic expectations of the time, effort, and money required to sustain a lifelong relationship with their pet. National figures indicate that about half of the animals in shelters must be euthanized for lack of homes. Animals at your local shelter are eager to find a new home and are just waiting for someone like you.Learn more>
