How do I report animal abuse and/or neglect?
-
Abuse- If you need to report abuse or neglect, you will need to contact Davie County Animal Services. The number for their officer on call is (336)751-0227. They are responsible for all the county Animal Cruelty Investigations. Any injured dogs, cats, animal related complaints, and rabies control are investigated by their team. Please be aware that they cannot take anonymous reports of abuse or neglect due to needing to document everything. Their officers need to be able to speak to the person who witnessed the situation. It is understood it can be uncomfortable reporting something but the animals cannot pick up the phone so we urge you to do so.
