When faced with the realization that you are dealing with an animal hoarding situation, emotions — frustration, anger, urgency, fear — can get in the way of facts. Clean Earth Restorations has put together this list of helpful websites where you can learn more about the origins of this problem and how to make the situation better.

One of the most complete resources on animal hoarding, including intervention, animal welfare, public health, and university research is the HARC, or The Hoarding of Animals Research Consortium.
The HARC’s document “Animal Hoarding: Recommendations for Intervention by Family and Friends (PDF File, 125KB)” is a comprehensive, constructive and informative overview of possible actions for friends and families of animal hoarders. The conclusion is:
- …the communication and positive interaction that you are able to sustain can reduce the animal hoarder’s level of isolation, help build trust, and affect greater self-esteem. These factors are essential to keep the door open for potential change.
Another general information site about animal hoarding can be found at Animal Hoarding.com.
The UCSD Obsessive-Compulsive Disorders Clinic (part of the Department of Psychiatry) studies compulsive hoarding and has an information website which answers questions about such things as typical behaviors associated with hoarding, what causes compulsive hoarding, and what treatments are available.
The Children of Hoarders website has numerous resources for children dealing with a parent’s hoarding syndrome and an animal hoarding FAQ page.
The Tufts University ‘Hoarding of Animals Research Consortium’ has thorough intervention guidelines for family and friends of animal hoarders, and has an entire website of resources dedicated to the subject.
Nightline aired a show about animal hoarders that you may find useful: http://youtu.be/HJtcPeZBJJg
Though the site Pet Abuse.com is more concerned with all forms of animal abuse and in particular voluntary abuse, it also has some information which may be useful to people in animal hoarding situations, especially as pertains to the legal ramifications of animal abuse and neglect.

Absolutely amazing work and great pricing

I have received outstanding service from both Ricardo and Kim they’re great. Both are professional and knowledgeable. They oversee the maintenance department and they maintain a Condo Association I manage. Thanks to them the property always looks great.

What started with a crack in the stucco, turned into the opening of walls on my deck and my bedroom wall fixing old structural termite damage. Ricardo, Juan, Jonathan and the rest of the crew did a great job making a plan and working quickly, efficiently and protecting the rest of the home from dust and debris, including protecting the floor. They cleaned up every day and were very mindful not to damage anything as much as possible. They have a high quality bar and do their jobs very well paying attention to details. They were very patient with requests because I am very detail oriented and particular, and had specific requests of how I wanted things done. And they took care of all of them. We ran into some issues with the paint towards the end and it took a while to figure out what was happening, but they were determined to figure it out and make sure I was happy. This company is amazing! Reliable, skilled, quick, knowledgeable, friendly, and respectful. I would highly recommend hiring them. They get the job right the first time and often end up fixing what others previously did wrong. They are clear communicators and the teams are very respectful of the home owners and happy to explain what is going on and take input. Ricardo was my project manager and he was always on top of things managing the project and making sure what needed to be done was done, especially when things didn't go according to plan. He always kept me in the loop about plans, was very friendly, came by to check the progress often and made sure I was happy. Once the job was done, my place looked better than it did before and I'm very happy with it! Thank you Clean Earth!

Clean Earth Restorations came to the rescue when my upstairs bathroom began leaking through the ceiling, damaging my hardwood floor. Every employee I interacted with was respectful and willing to help and I couldn’t be happier with the work they did. They were professional and efficient, I couldn’t recommend another company more!
