Report Animal Cruelty

What to Do?

If you witness suspected cruelty to animals, immediately contact your local animal control. In Muscogee County, the appropriate contact is Paws Animal Services (formerly Columbus Animal Care and Control – CACC). Document the incident thoroughly with dates, times, detailed observations, and, if possible, photographs or video footage. Comprehensive documentation helps authorities effectively investigate and address the suspected cruelty.
