- Arkansas, USA -

The Pulaski County Sheriff’s Office arrested 37-year-old TRAYMON CARR (pictured).


The night of April 11, 2025, the Cabot-based nonprofit Jak’s Second Chance Rescue Ranch contacted the sheriff’s office and alerted deputies to possible animal abuse at a house in the 4700 block of Rose Lane.


The following morning deputies responded to the location to investigate.

They were greeted by a strong odor of decomposition carried down the driveway to the main road.


On the porch of the house, deputies found a large, decomposed animal whom they believed to be a cat. Through a window, they saw underweight dogs running loose. The dogs had missing fur, injuries, and skin problems. According to deputies, they also saw rats, cockroaches, and other bugs inside and outside the house on trash piles.


Deputies learned that the renter of the house had been hospitalized after suffering a stroke a month prior and put their roommate, CARR, in charge of the animals while they were hospitalized.


More than forty animals were removed from the house, including cats, dogs, two pigs, and one rooster. Sadly, three cats and four dogs were found deceased.

The rescued Voiceless Victims were placed in the care of Jak’s Second Chance Rescue Ranch.

Garland County Humane Society took in four cats and seven dogs.


Deputies tried to track CARR down and he was ultimately taken into custody on April 12, 2025. He was charged with thirty-eight (38) counts of aggravated animal cruelty and three (3) counts of cruelty to animals.

At the time of writing, online records show CARR is being held into the Pulaski County Jail.

LANEAU HAYES, Doctor of Medicine, arrested after many cats were rescued from deplorable living conditions at a Towns County home

- Georgia, USA -


The Towns County Sheriff’s Office arrested 75-year-old LANEAU HAYES, MD (pictured).


HAYES is an Internal Medicine provider in Blairsville whom according to MediFind has been practicing medicine for over 46 years.


On January 6, 2025, the sheriff's office launched an animal cruelty investigation that involved a property on Old Chicken Farm Road in Young Harris.

Officials found many cats who were living in deplorable conditions.


It all started with a phone call from a concerned citizen to the Blairsville-based nonprofit Whiskers Project.


According to Whiskers Project, the caller had learned from a friend that a house in Young Harris had many cats, individually locked in cages without the ability to roam. The cats were living in their own feces and urine with matted fur.


HAYES is accused of intentionally failing to provide adequate sanitary conditions and ventilation for the cats. During the rescue of the poor souls, officials had to wear face masks due to the intensity of the fumes. It’s unknown how long the poor souls were held in captivity.


Whiskers Project removed all of the cats from the home with the assistance of Commissioner Steve Bradshaw. Commissioner Bradshaw requested the cats be surrendered to Mountain Shelter Humane Society.


Whiskers Project tells me none of the cats were euthanized and they are “doing well and on a low fat diet with [an] exercise program at the local Humane Society.”


Whiskers Project submitted to the Towns County Sheriff’s Office five counts of animal cruelty to five cats against HAYES. According to the nonprofit, the charges include physical pain and mental suffering. As rightfully stated by Whiskers Project, “The offender was in a position of control at the mercy of the animals” and his actions were “intentional and unjustified.”

JASON DANIEL FOSTER arrested after thirty-three dogs and two cats were removed from his home

Updated: Sep 29, 2022

- Alabama, USA -


~ Update: September 29, 2022

A Colbert County Grand Jury has indicted JASON DANIEL FOSTER (pictured), on animal cruelty charges.


WHNT reports that according to the indictment, FOSTER is accused of intentionally torturing dogs by inflicting inhumane treatment of “gross physical abuse” intended to cause the animals “intensive or prolonged pain,” serious injury or death “due to said act.”


FOSTER is free on a $1,750 cash bond and his arrangement has been scheduled to take place on October 13, 2022.




~ Original story:

Deputies with the Colbert County Sheriff’s Office were investigating a shooting on Underwood Mountain Road in Tuscumbia, when they noticed dogs in poor health at a home in the neighborhood.


On Monday, June 13, deputies removed from a property on 1760 Underwood Mountain Road, 15 dogs who were malnourished and in need of medical attention.

The same week, on Friday, June 17, deputies returned to the home and with the assistance of Colbert County Animal Control, they served a search warrant and removed 18 more dogs and 2 cats.


Colbert County Sheriff Frank Williamson said this property is not related to the shooting incident.


Deputies arrested a male who gave a false name at first and identified himself as Jonathan Foster. Deputies later learned that the arrestee had given his brother’s name instead of his which is JASON DANIEL FOSTER (pictured).


FOSTER is facing a first-degree animal cruelty charge but Sheriff Williamson said more charges are expected to be filed against FOSTER.

He was taken to the Colbert County Jail on a $15,000 bond.


Sheriff Williamson thanked Corey Speegle and the Colbert County Animal Shelter for their help with this case.


Some of the animals have been taken to the Colbert County Animal Shelter, some are in the care of Friends of Florence Lauderdale Animal Shelter, while others are in foster homes and veterinarian’s offices.

The nonprofit Friends of Florence Lauderdale Animal Services posted a few pictures of the dogs removed from FOSTER’s home and in a Facebook post said: “We want to help our friends at Colbert County animal shelter raise $3000. These dogs are in need of a lot of care. Colbert animal shelter has had to take in many dogs this week who need help. Let’s help our neighbors out. Thank you.”
