The PSPCA Humane Society Police Officers are available to investigate claims of animal cruelty, abuse and/or neglect. Their powers are granted by the state of Pennsylvania and they uphold the state’s animal cruelty laws, contained in section 5511 of the Crimes Code.

If you suspect that an animal is suffering from abuse or neglect, please don’t hesitate to call the PSPCA's toll-free hotline at 1-866-601-SPCA to report the situation or e-mail the PSPCA at cruelty@pspca.org. Be sure to leave your name and contact number so that we can call you with further questions, if necessary. Most of our rescue success stories started with tips from people just like you - we're all in this together.
