Large Scale Animal
Case Resources

The Large-Scale Animal Case Handbook was developed to guide agencies and organizations through the challenges of responding to large-scale animal events, such as impounds, cruelty seizures, hoarding cases, or disasters. These situations demand rapid coordination, cross-agency collaboration, and thoughtful execution under pressure. This handbook offers a clear, practical framework that promotes effective, humane, and scalable responses, grounded in shared principles, legal awareness, and operational readiness.
