Stop Animal Cruelty in Hot Spring & Garland Counties - Arkansas

05/06/2026

Georgia made history by becoming the first U.S. state to sentence a dogfighter to an astonishing 500 years in prison for an animal abuse case. The state has set a bold precedent in the battle against animal cruelty. Sentencing someone for such a long term sends a clear message that society will not tolerate animal abuse, no matter the form it takes. This case serves as a reminder of the importance of legal systems in protecting vulnerable animals.

The legal professionals who worked on this case deserve recognition for their tireless efforts to secure justice for the abused animals. Animal cruelty cases are often difficult to prosecute, but when they are, they pave the way for stronger animal welfare laws. This decision will undoubtedly inspire other states to take more serious action against those who harm animals.

Animals are not just pets or property; they are living beings with emotions and needs. Every day, animals suffer from abuse in silence, but with the passing of such laws, we take one step closer to a world where cruelty is no longer tolerated. This decision is a victory not just for the animals, but for all who fight for their rights and well-being. 🐾👊

A friend once saw his neighbor’s little poodle go over the fence in a coyote’s mouth.
You think your big dog is safe? Think again. The pack will send a small member to engage a big dog in play. Little coyote backs up as they play-play-play until WHAM!!! The pack swamps the big dog and CHOMP-CHOMP-CHOMP! Big dog is coyote chow.
Fence your big dogs; supervise your little dogs.
Don’t let your dogs become coyote chow.

Animal cruelty laws in the United States were strengthened with federal legislation that classifies severe abuse as a felony offense. The law allows for penalties of up to seven years in prison for acts involving intentional harm, torture, or killing of animals.
The statute marked a significant shift in how animal abuse cases are prosecuted, enabling federal authorities to intervene in crimes that were previously handled only at the state level.

LILY NEEDS A FOREVER HOME
Sweet Lily is a precious little chihuahua who weighs about 20 lbs. Lily was rescued by her Dad (our beloved Billy Smith, SAC member) from being a 'bait dog'. She lived with him until he passed away and a senior family member continued loving and spoiling her until he passed. Lily again is now all by her little self. She is the perfect girl for a senior and would love nothing more than to be your constant companion. We estimate her to be possibly 7+ yrs old. She is spayed and up to date on shots. She will be happiest in a quiet home as she never been with kids. For an applic to adopt -pls contact Janice 501-620-3160.

For 17 years SAC has followed the traditional pet rescue & adoption model assisting hundreds of abused, abandoned, and neglected pets each year. We have now grown and transitioned into something much greater! SAC is now tackling the root of the problem which is the over-population of unwanted pets which is causing an increasing number of pets to be abandoned or surrendered thus overwhelming rescues and shelters. By focusing on helping to eliminate unwanted litters, we can help low income families keep their pets and prevent rescues having to turn away pets in need. This is why we chose to pivot and focus on a low cost spay & neuter program.
