I have an animal : Report Cruelty or Nuisance
Joining Forces To Protect Pets
If you suspect that an animal is being neglected or abused, please contact your local animal control agency. Animal control agencies are the only organizations empowered to investigate and enforce animal cruelty or abuse cases. Information provided to your local animal control agency is confidential. While we support efforts to prevent cruelty to animals, the Seattle Humane Society is not authorized to investigate animal cruelty cases by state law. A list of local animal control agencies can be found below.
When it comes to animal welfare, your voice is needed! If you need to report abuse or neglect, get as much information as possible. This includes the condition of the animal and whether the animal is being provided with proper shelter, water, and other necessities. The exact location and description of the animal is also helpful. However, even if you cannot obtain this information and you suspect an animal is being neglected, you still should report this.
