W.H.I.N.N.Y. Horse Rescue

Many times we have been asked a very serious question by members of our local community. "I've seen some animals who are being starved, abused, neglected, etc. Who do I contact?" We are going to be adding a section to our website over the next few days which will contain contact information for those who need to get involved in situations such as these. Please understand that we are not Animal Control. We do not have legal right to go onto private property, confiscate animals, etc. We must take the same steps as the rest of the general public. Sadly, we cannot step in on our own -- no matter how bad the situation may be.

However, we can help you get in touch with the people who CAN step in and make a change. The beginning step starts with making a phone call to the local Sheriff's office. Make sure you contact the local sheriff based off of the animal's location, not your home location. The Sheriff will put you in touch with the local Animal Control Officer. Contact the Animal Control Officer. The Animal Control Officer and Sheriff's Department cannot inform you of the outcome of the case, but if you notice that nothing is changing and you feel that the animal is being mistreated, please contact the local media. We have listed phone numbers for both the Sheriff's Office and one local media source below. If you find that any information below is incorrect, please contact us via our facebook page and we will get back to you promptly with updated contact information.

Please remember that another person's property is private property. Do not enter private property for any reason. Do not give food / water to any animals, as sad as that sounds. The reasoning is that anyone who feeds someone else's animals without permission can be held liable if something happens to the animals and the owners choose to claim they have been poisoned, etc. In addition, it is possible to be charged with trespassing for entering private property.

Please use the following list for the necessary contact information. You may use the letter list below to jump to counties with names that begin with the chosen letter.
