Animal Investigation and Response is a 501(c)(3) animal protection organization that assists law enforcement and communities with animal abuse related issues such as puppy mills, animal hoarding, blood sports and assists in disaster relief. Based in Texas, Animal Investigation and Response was formed by two certified animal cruelty investigators who saw a need to help connect individuals, law enforcement and animal control with strategies and resources to investigate as well as provide aid for situations that exceed the scope of a communities reach.
