Search Florida’s official animal-abuse registries — in one place.
ProtectedPets brings official government registries and public court records together, so anyone can follow an animal-cruelty case and check official sources — without hunting across dozens of county websites. We’re bringing animal cruelty into the light.
This is not a registry. We aggregate and link to official government sources — we never publish home addresses or maps of people. Court proceedings are reported neutrally: charged, convicted, acquitted, or dropped.

Starting in Florida
Our first focus is Florida: a unified search over the FDLE statewide Dexter’s Law database and the Volusia, Hillsborough, Miami-Dade, and Lee county registries, plus manually-tracked high-profile Florida cases. Honest about scope — we expand state by state as coverage grows.
Records appear here only after legal and compliance review. An empty result does not mean a person is, or is not, in any registry.
