When You Report Problems: 

Providing us with complete information allows us to investigate the issue effectively. We may contact you in case we cannot find the location or animal. Your information is kept confidential, but be aware that without the name of the complaining party, we would not be able to obtain a search warrant from a judge to investigate should one be needed.  We only release names if the records are subpoenaed.

Learn what to do to avoid animal-on-animal violence and what to do if your animal is attacked.

Please provide the following information:

• Exact location, with street names and addresses
• Complete description of the animal - size, color, breed, gender 
• Nature of the abuse or problem 
• License plates of owners 
• Address and description of the home and suspected person
