Report Abuse or Neglect

Hope BEFORE help Hope AFTER Rehabilitation

Please report animal Abuse and Neglect

There is no reason or excuse for any animal to look like Hope's before picture, regardless of age or circumstances.

Often, starving & abused animals need just ONE person to step up
and say something, to make the animal be SEEN.
You may be their only hope and salvation.

Your information will be kept private & confidential
and used only by True Blue Animal Rescue and the authorities as necessary.
We understand your concern for your safety.

Abuse and Neglect in Texas: According to Penal Code Title 9. Offenses against public order and decency, Chapter 42. Disorderly conduct and related offenses, Section 42.09. Cruelty to animals, the following is considered cruel or inhumane treatment of animals and warrants investigation, seizure, and filing of charges:

torturing an animal
seriously overworking an animal
failure to provide necessary food, care, or shelter for an animal
abandonment of an animal
killing, injuring, or administering poison to an animal

What will happen after we receive your report:

The report will be investigated and reported to the proper authorities

Texas law requires that authorities work with the animals' owner to rectify the situation

If, after working with the owner, no improvement is seen, the animals may be seized by law enforcement and the owner taken to court at which time the court may award the animals to True Blue Animal Rescue.
