REPORT ANIMAL ABUSE & CRUELTY IN WAUKESHA COUNTY
If you see someone hurting an animal or if you know of someone whose animal looks sick, injured or deprived of adequate food, water or shelter, call us or call your local police department. You should also contact us if you see a stray or injured animal.
WE WANT YOU TO KNOW!
Unlike most crime victims, animals can't talk or seek help themselves. They depend on YOU to stop their suffering and if you don't help them, who will?
It is understood that you respect your neighbor's privacy and may not want to see his pet taken away. After you call the office of Waukesha County's Humane Officers, their priority will be to try to educate your neighbor about how to comply with local animal care laws. We realize that when you witness cruelty, you may be afraid to get involved. Please know that all reports are kept confidential.
