Will local law enforcement respond to a call about animal abuse?
Crystal
Usually the ASPCA (American) SPCA (Canadian) are the ones to call for animal abuse. The only time the police may get involved is if the the owner of the pet(s) have been warned on several occasions and been fined and ASPCA/SPCA comes to get the pet for it's own safety and the abuser refuses the police will be called in (at least in Canada.)

What do you do if you suspect abuse?
A priority is being sure the animal in question is being abused and the owner is violating local laws. What some would call abuse it might not be abuse by definition of your local laws on abused animals. Check the animal at different times of the day. If you see a lack of sufficient water, food, and proper shelter of the animal, it might just be ignorance on the owner's part. Your local police station or animal shelter are better experienced to assess the situation and take the appropriate action. If you see out right abuse like beating, kicking, choking or any other violent action against the animal try to document the abuse (video tape or take a picture) and contact your local police station or animal shelter right away. Ring or somehow tell the local authorities responsible for animal protection, such as the RSPCA or SPCA, depending one where one resides.
