Reporting Animal Cruelty

At MHRHS we value and respect all animal life. We strongly encourage anyone with knowledge of instances of animal cruelty to contact local law enforcement. MHRHS works closely with law enforcement to rescue abused animals.

DO NOT BE AFRAID TO REPORT A CASE OF ANIMAL ABUSE. SPEAK FOR THOSE THAT CANNOT SPEAK FOR THEMSELVES.

There is certain information needed to investigate an animal abuse/neglect case. A direct witness is required; the complaint cannot be based on hearsay.

  1. Complainant information: name, address, telephone
  2. Exact location or address of the animal(s)
  3. Any information on the owner of the animal(s)
  4. Statement from complainant
  5. Condition of animal(s)
  6. Conditions in which animal(s) are living

If you do not want your name mentioned, please understand that we need to have specific information from a complainant (name, address, phone number) for the purpose of obtaining a search warrant, if needed. We keep all personal information confidential unless the case goes to court.
