- You use the article solely for the informational and educational purposes for which it is intended.
- You reprint no more than ten (10) distinct pieces of HSUS-written content on your web site(s). One article is considered one piece of written content. You cannot rotate different articles on and off your web site to accommodate this condition. If you wish to reprint more than ten pieces of written content, then please e-mail us with your request via the webmaster contact form link below.
- The text is not altered. If you wish to reprint portions of the text or modify the text in minor ways, please e-mail us with a complete description of how you wish to do so via the webmaster contact form link below. We're generally amenable to these kinds of requests.

Will The HSUS review a book that I wrote?
Please use the Contact Us page to send your request to the specific department that best corresponds with the topic of your book.
My pet was lost or stolen, what should I do?
First, file a lost pet report with the local shelters and animal control agencies within a 60 mile radius of your home, and if possible, visit them daily. Also, search your neighborhood several times during the day and ask your neighbors if you can look under their porches and in their garages. Post signs in the area but be aware of pet recovery scams and leave off one identifying characteristic to ask the finder about. Don't give up your search. Animals who have been lost for months have been reunited with their owners.
How do I report animal cruelty?
Contact your local animal control agency or police department. The HSUS can offer assistance to local agencies who are investigating animal cruelty. Please contact the regional office that serves your state or our Washington headquarters if you are located in Maryland, Virginia or Washington, D.C.
