Cruelty Investigations

Although we are not a law enforcement agency, the Humane Society of North Texas’ (HSNT’s) Cruelty Investigators are on standby 24/7 to assist authorities with investigating and documenting reports of animal cruelty and neglect throughout North Texas and surrounding areas.

If you are aware of animal neglect or abuse, please contact your local animal control or law enforcement authority first. If you are reporting an urgent situation, such as an illegal dogfight, please start by calling 9-1-1. After you have contacted local law enforcement, if you still wish to report suspected cruelty, please fill out the Suspected Cruelty Complaint Form below. If you have additional questions, please call (817) 332-4768, x113 or email investigations@hsnt.org.
