JACKSONVILLE, Ark. – A Jacksonville man has been arrested on Saturday after officials with the Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office said he was abusing his animals.
One local organization, Jak’s Second Chance Rescue Ranch, says they saved 41 animals in total including dogs, cats, pigs and a rooster. There were some animals that didn’t survive.
Kristen Moseley helped as a volunteer for Jak’s and says the animals had been living in unstable conditions for months, but it was just this week that officers from the Jacksonville Police Department were allowed inside of the home to investigate.
The owner of the animals, 37-year-old Traymon Carr, was arrested on Saturday afternoon and he’s now facing 38 counts of aggravated animal cruelty and three counts of cruelty to animals.
As for the animals, Moseley says they are currently being sheltered at a local vet clinic.
She says any donations that people can make will be greatly appreciated. She says the animals are also in need of a loving family and a home.
