Report Cruelty

Do you have specific, credible information about a situation of large-scale cruelty, abandonment, disaster, or neglect of animals, or another situation where many animals need help? Report animal cruelty here, and thank you so much for reaching out to Animal Rescue Corps and for advocating for these animals.

Law enforcement and humane officers, please use this link to request assistance.

Animal Rescue Corps operates at the request of and in partnership with the appropriate local law enforcement or animal control.  If the authorities do not currently find that laws are being broken or decline to request the services of Animal Rescue Corps, we have no independent authority to confiscate animals. In many cases, repeated, persistent, and friendly communication to the local authorities from a concerned citizen while referring them to a resource for their community such as Animal Rescue Corps or another animal protection organization is the only solution.

We recommend that you immediately report this situation to local animal control or law authorities within that jurisdiction. Feel free to let them know that organizations like Animal Rescue Corps may be a potential resource to them with cruelty and abuse cases. If you currently work as a law enforcement officer, animal control officer, or humane officer and need assistance with an animal cruelty case, please request assistance here.

ARC’s focus is large-scale animal rescue, so if you are reporting a situation involving one or a few animals, please contact local rescues and animal resources.

Please next submit a cruelty report below if you are a citizen or here if you are requesting help on behalf of a law enforcement or animal control agency. If it is a situation that Animal Rescue Corps can assist with, someone from our team will contact you.
