Cruelty / Hoarding

Hoarding is defined as the excessive collection and retention of things or animals until they interfere with day-to-day functions such as home, health, family work and social life.

Investigations concerning the hoarding of animals are becoming more prevalent as citizens report the care and conditions these animals suffer. We often are told the hoarder "LOVES" pets but just became overwhelmed. Unfortunately by the time we are notified we see the reality of years of neglect. Please help animals by reporting suspected cruelty/hoarding cases and becoming a voice for those who do not speak.
