I think my neighbours are mistreating their dog. Who can I call to get it checked out?
If you think someone is abusing or neglecting an animal, you should call the Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) to have it checked out. You should call the SPCA if you think someone has:
- Failed to provide an animal with adequate food, water and shelter
- Deliberately abused an animal
- Failed to seek necessary veterinary advice for a sick animal
To report neglect or cruelty to animals, contact the nearest SPCA office. They will take action that is appropriate to the situation.
