A dog laying on the ground on a really long chain

End dogfighting!

Dogs caught up in dogfighting are forced to fight and suffer from horrific injuries. Most spend their entire lives outdoors, bound by heavy chains and tethered close together to encourage fighting. They’re only freed for breeding, fighting, conditioning for fighting or to be sold for fighting. Others live in total darkness in filthy cages, wet with waste, with only enough room to stand up and turn around.

But you have the chance to speak out against this cruelty. And with your help, we will ensure there is no haven for dogfighters.

We work to strengthen enforcement by supporting legislation to criminalize and sufficiently penalize dogfighting. We provide free training on investigating and prosecuting animal cruelty and fighting and provide guidance and intelligence on active dogfighters to law enforcement. 

And we’re there when we’re needed to rescue dogs from cruelty situations and support rehabilitating animals rescued from dogfighting operations.
