Pet-Abuse.Com - Our Story

Who We Are

Pet-Abuse.Com is a registered California non-profit organization. Although this page details our board of directors and corporate officers, there are so many more people and organizations that play a vital role in our continued growth and success. Our database administrators and volunteers, and the animal advocates that help us spread the word about what we're doing - they play as vital of a role in our story as anyone on the board of directors does. We thank each and every one of you for your support.
