The Humane Society of the United States is the nation’s largest and most powerful animal protection organization, backed by 11 million Americans, or one in every 28. Established in 1954, The HSUS seeks a humane and sustainable world for all animals, including people. We are America’s mainstream force against cruelty, exploitation, and neglect and also the nation’s most trusted voice extolling the human-animal bond. For questions or more information about dog fighting, contact The HSUS’s Animal Cruelty and Fighting Campaign at: animalfighting@humanesociety.org or (202) 452-1100.
As utility workers, postal carriers, or public works employees, you may see signs of dog fighting as you go about your routine installations, deliveries, or maintenance work. We need your help!
Reporting Dog Fighting to the Authorities
If you witness a dogfight in progress, call 911 immediately.
If you suspect that dogfighting is taking place at a residence, call the HSUS tip line at 1-877-TIP-HSUS. You can receive a reward of up to $5,000 from The HSUS if your tip leads to the conviction of a dog fighter. For information on how to claim a reward, visit humanesociety.org/rewards.
If you see an animal that appears to be neglected outside of involvement in dog fighting, please contact your local humane society, animal control or law enforcement agency
