The PawWatch standard
Accountability must be accurate.
A public registry is powerful. Every profile must be traceable to an official public record. Photographs appear only when an official government source publishes the conviction-related image and lawful republication has been confirmed.
Verify
Identity, disposition, offense, source, and any image rights are checked.
Publish
A limited profile is posted with its official source.
Maintain
Corrections, appeals, removals, and record changes are reviewed.
Why PawWatch
One searchable place. A safer next home.
Animal-cruelty records are scattered across courts, agencies, counties, and states. PawWatch is building the national public-interest layer that connects verified records while respecting due process and limiting unnecessary personal information.
