Cruelty and Neglect 

Animal Team Rescue's Humane Investigations team is committed to seeking justice for animals throughout Indiana County PA by investigating reports of animal abuse and neglect, collaborating with law enforcement and community members to rescue and care for animals with compassion and shelter in their times of need.

Issues our Humane Officers investigate include:

• Domestic animals and livestock lacking necessary food, water, or shelter as required by law

• Animal fighting and hoarding

• Physical abuse or chronic neglect of animals

• Denial of necessary medical attention to animals who are sick or injured

• Illegal shooting, trapping, abandonment, poisoning, torture, bestiality and/or the sexual abuse of an animal

• Potential injury from tangled leashes, ropes, or chains

• Animals subject to conditions that would or could adversely affect the animal’s health or welfare

• Pet stores, petting zoos, boarding kennels, dog kennels, horse stables, and other facilities that are not meeting the minimum standards of care as required by law
