The Story Behind

Justice for Abused Animals

The story begins with a simple truth: cruelty against animals is not just an isolated act — it is a warning sign, a cycle that damages both animals and people. As a psychologist with training in trauma and neurology, I saw how human suffering and animal suffering are often connected, and how our justice system lacked the tools to address that link.

Justice for Abused Animals was born from that gap. I wanted to create something that does more than punish — something that brings science, compassion, and accountability together. Our work gives prosecutors credible evidence, offers communities education, and creates models of healing that prevent future cruelty.

What inspired me to start this was knowing that one act of justice for an abused animal can ripple outward — protecting families, strengthening communities, and proving that compassion backed by science has the power to change lives.

Compassion in Action

What we do

  • Behavioral Screening & Documentation (non-diagnostic): structured observations of fear, avoidance, hypervigilance, and aggression patterns; baseline scoring to track progress.

  • Trauma-Informed Care Plans: step-wise protocols for kenneling, handling, enrichment, decompression, and graded exposure.

  • Staff & Foster Training: practical workshops on low-stress handling, reading signals, and reinforcement strategies.

  • Rehabilitation Support: week-by-week shaping plans, enrichment menus, and relapse-prevention cues for high-stress contexts.

  • Educational Briefs for Agencies: plain-language summaries that explain behavioral indicators and care recommendations for shelters, ACOs, and veterinarians (information only; not legal advice).

  • Community Education & Offender Awareness Classes: science-based sessions that explain animal trauma and humane handling (education only).

What we do not do

  • No legal services. We do not provide legal advice, representation, or act as your lawyer.

  • No human psychotherapy. We don’t treat people.

  • No veterinary diagnosis or medical treatment. We collaborate with vets; they handle medicine.

  • No custody or sentencing recommendations. We provide behavioral information only, upon request from appropriate agencies.
