Friends For Life does not have any law enforcement authority. With over 50 law enforcement agencies and multiple animal welfare organizations, it can be confusing to know where to report animal cruelty.
www.927PAWS.org is an umbrella website created by the Harris County Animal Cruelty Taskforce.
Filling out a report at this site takes the guesswork out of reporting. They will get every report filed to the correct agency.
Animals cannot speak for themselves so please err on the side of reporting something that doesn’t look or seem right. Your report could save an animal a lifetime of suffering or a cruel death.
