Stop Animal Cruelty of Hot Spring/ Garland Counties, Arkansas

WHO WE ARE

Stop Animal Cruelty is an all-volunteer, 501 (c) (3) non profit animal welfare group founded in 2008. For 17 years we 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! We are tackling the root of the problem that is causing an increasing number of pets to be abandoned or surrendered which is overwhelming rescues and shelters. By focusing on the overpopulation of unwanted pets, 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.

Making spay and neuter accessible prevents unwanted litters that can lead to owners financial strain, surrender, or abandonment. Spay/neutering pets keeps families together and fewer animals die in shelters. We are striving to prevent unwanted litters and help hard working families avoid “economic euthanasia". Over half a million companion animals are euthanized each year in the United States simply because people cannot afford veterinary bills. We want to help stop this heartbreaking trend and keep pets healthy and in their homes with their families that love them.

We are proud to be an all-volunteer organization where our donations directly benefit pets in need.

ADOPTING A FOREVER FRIEND

If you are interested in adopting or fostering a rescue pet there are so many wonderful pets that are just waiting for their forever homes. There are pets that are rescued from a high kill shelter, owner surrendering's, abandoned and from abusive or neglectful situations. Foster homes provide a safe, nurturing environment to help pets adjust to living in a loving, caring home. They work on socializing, house training, leash walking and learn about their personalities to help ensure they are successfully matched to their new homes and families. If you would like to adopt or become a foster parent for a dog or cat, please text our rescue partner Hanks Rescue 501-445-8652 or for an application download one at hanksrescue.com !

All animal welfare organizations are not equal.

Stop Animal Cruelty is effective, efficient, focused, reliable and successful...not all organizations are. If you pick a bad organization, there is little likelihood that your funds will be well spent effectively.
