Law enforcement agencies across the country call on us to assist with the investigation and prosecution of every type of animal abuse: individual situations of neglect and abuse; cockfighting or dogfighting operations; abusive, illegal puppy mill operations; and large-scale animal cruelty situations like animal hoarding. Beginning with behind-the-scenes evidence collection, our involvement often continues with the hands-on rescue, sheltering and eventual placement of abused animals. We have the nation’s leading experts on animal cruelty issues, and we can assist in cases of all sizes, providing guidance, resources and financial support. With decades of successful prosecutions under our belt, The HSUS is dedicated to seeing each criminal case through from its inception to its resolution.
