Where to Report Animal Abuse or Neglect
What to do if you find an injured animal
You can report abuse of an animal 24 hours a day, and you can even do so anonymously. If you find an animal in need, and only if it is safe for you to transport the animal to a local shelter or veterinary hospital for care, please do so. Do not give the animal any food or water. Ensure the carrier or box has plenty of air holes, and keep the area as quiet as possible. If it is not safe to transport the animal, please call one of the contact numbers below based on where you found the pet. If it is an emergency, dial 911.
