Desmond’s Army Animal Law Advocates is a group of volunteer citizens who work together to better the lives of animals. We are committed to impacting animal welfare legislation. We do this by being a voice for the voiceless in the courts and at the Capitol. We seek to raise public awareness regarding the statistical connection between animal abuse and domestic and social violence. 

In addition to tracking animal cruelty cases, notifying approved advocates of cases, attending courts throughout Connecticut, and educating the public on the connection between animal cruelty, domestic and social violence or other predatory acts, we also:

• Provide municipalities funding for necropsies or DNA results that will aid in the prosecution of animal cruelty cases
• Help pay medical expenses for victims of animal cruelty when there is an open investigation.
• Provide reward funds for information leading to the arrest and conviction of animal cruelty perpetrators.

We will continue to be “A Voice for the Voiceless.”
