As a service to Geauga County residents, Rescue Village funds a Humane Law Department, through which Humane Law Agents investigate complaints about animal cruelty or neglect in Geauga County.

The agent’s role includes educating county residents regarding the humane treatment of animals, investigating suspected animal cruelty cases, and aiding in the prosecution of suspected animal abusers in accordance with Ohio law, placing animals into protective custody for their safety and care, if necessary.

Report possible animal cruelty, neglect, or abandonment by contacting a Humane Agent at: 440-999-3977 or e-mailing humaneofficer@geaugahumane.org. You can also submit the form provided below.

Please be as descriptive as possible when reporting animal cruelty.
