ANIMAL HOARDING
The Animal Hoarding Project began as a way to reach out to friends, family and loved ones
who want to bring about positive change in an animal hoarders' life. Now, as part of the
Animal Planet documentary series, Confessions: Animal Hoarding,
we are reaching out to people across Canada and the US to give them
tools to help a loved one who is struggling with a compulsion to collect pets.
