Animal Care Veterinary Medical Officers enforce two important laws: the Animal Welfare Act and the Horse Protection Act. Through inspections and outreach, we work with thousands of breeders, dealers, and exhibitors; research facilities; transporters; dog importers; and managers of horseshows, exhibitions, and sales to make sure their animals receive care and treatment that meets Federal standards. We also provide national leadership— including advice, resources, and direct support—on the safety and well-being of pets and other animals during disasters. Our employees are experts in the field of animal welfare, with a passion for humane care and public service. Day in and day out, they bring their best to our mission of protection.
