SAC has a wonderful team of volunteers who selflessly open their lives and homes to homeless pets in need. They raise funds through events and its Thrift Store to provide financially for them. They save hundreds of lives and daily are asked to assist more and more. As hard as they work, they simply can’t do it without their communities support. All animal welfare organizations in their area are not equal. Stop Animal Cruelty is effective, efficient, focused, reliable and successful. …not all are. Some local organizations have huge endowments or reserves meaning they are less likely to need support that badly, while SAC desperately needs your support.

SAC has no kennel facility and relies 100% on volunteer foster homes. Animals in need of medical care first are cared for medically at the vets and then moved to fosters. Animals in need of socialization and behavioral issues may stay in foster care longer until they are ready for their forever home.

SAC participates in local Spay/Neuter Clinics. They also provide vouchers to anyone requesting them for pets. Vouchers are available at the SAC Thrift Store or emailing a request.

Stop Animal Cruelty has a President/Director with over 25 years’ experience in animal welfare who works tirelessly not only overseeing the organizations rescuing operation but also important aspects like cruelty investigation, humanely ending animal suffering, public safety, fostering, fundraising and the wise use of limited resources to help as many animals as possible. At SAC adoption “numbers” are not the main focus, its quality forever homes for each rescued pets. Any organizations can have high placement numbers but each pet deserves to be placed in a loving home no matter how long it takes to find it.

The Animal Control director works very closely with SAC volunteers - very fortunately, in the SAC's 4 yr history - no animals have bee euthanized!

Stop Animal Cruelty is an all-volunteer animal welfare group that works tirelessly rescuing pets from the high-kill city shelter in Malvern, AR. Volunteers take pictures of all intakes and post them on social media searching for it's owner. Social media can reach thousands of local citizens in just a few hours. If the owner of a shelter pet doesn't come forward then volunteers re-home as many of them as possible othemselves or search for other "no kill" rescue groups from around the country who are willing to take pets from out of their areas to assist in re-homing. Not one treatable pet has lost its life in the Malvern shelter since late 2011, due to the tireless efforts and awesome dedication of the volunteers at Stop Animal Cruelty.

SAC immediately posts all animals brought to the local kill shelter to help find the owners. Strays are permitted only 5 days at the shelter(sometimes longer if the population is low)so we urgently seek owners to reclaim their pets. The pets are then moved to foster homes if not reclaimed and their pictures are posted online for reclaiming or adoption.

SAC is an all volunteer organization. They do not pay anyone to care for their rescues nor work their thrift store. Volunteers rescue, investigate reports of animal cruelty or neglect, foster, transport, fundraise, operate a successful thrift store. This group of volunteers are amazing.

SAC is run TOTALLY by volunteers and relies on donations,fund raisers and it's Thrift to survive. The Thrift Store is open 5 days per week and is staffed by volunteers only.

SAC saved 757 beautiful lives last year and responded to 236 reports of abuse, cruelty or neglect. They provide volunteers to educate the public on the importance of spaying and neutering and provide it's communities with low cost vouchers. They are available to local schools, churches and civic organizations to teach humane care and dog bite prevention. They do not believe that any animal should be left to be euthanized at a kill facility because they aren't highly adoptable, sick, or injured. Society has already failed them at one point in time and someone has to speak up and rescue those that are defenseless and without a voice. The impact Stop Animal Cruelty has on it's communities is unparalleled!

SAC holds many community events, both fund raising and educational. The Thrift Store provides an income for SAC and also is a 'face' in the community. SAC has certified Animal Cruelty Investigators that are available to police agencies and the general public to investigate concerns of animal abuse and neglect.

Stop Animal Cruelty amazingly rescued, re-homed or assisted in the re-homing of over 750 pets and provided over 400 people with assistance last year. All of which was accomplished by volunteers and with volunteer foster homes. Most people are surprised to hear they only have foster homes and no shelter. People often confuse them with the local “Humane Society” or “Animal Control” however they are different organizations entirely. Stop Animal Cruelty is the premier animal welfare organization in this area. They are a “No Kill” organization as they never have a healthy or treatable pet euthanized. Their program isn't limited to just healthy animals, particular breeds or the highly adoptable. Every pet rescued is in need of some form of medical help. Fortunately SAC partners with 3 local veterinarians who allow them discounted services therefore allowing them to rescue more pets in need.

All animals health needs are met prior to adoption. Community education programs are provided to schools and the community. All foster homes are screened and must be approved prior to housing animals. Each pet is thoroughly vetted prior to adoption

SAC posts all pets on their 2 facebook pages and three major adoption pet adoption sites. Pictures and complete biographies are provided for each pet. Applications are emailed immediately to potential fosters or adopters. As we do not have kennel facilities, arranging meeting times to fit schedules is much easier. Finding quality adoptive homes is our prime concern - all potential adopters are carefully screened, vet references checked and consistent guidelines for qualifications.

Stop Animal Cruelty is an all-volunteer animal welfare group that works tirelessly rescuing pets from the high-kill city shelter in Malvern, AR. They also rescue abused, neglected, abandoned and owner surrendered pets or horses in both Hot Spring & Garland Counties. They re-home as many of them as possible themselves or search for other "no kill" rescue groups from around the country who are willing to take pets from out of their areas to assist in re-homing. Not one treatable pet has lost its life in the Malvern shelter since late 2011, due to the tireless efforts and awesome dedication of the volunteers at Stop Animal Cruelty. In 2016 they saved 757 beautiful lives. For SAC volunteers, rescuing is a way of life it's not just a trend. It is not just the right thing to do it's who they are.
