HSV Animal Welfare League

Garland and Saline County are served by the gated Village community's Hot Springs Village Animal Control. Thanks to our collaboration with the 501(c)3 non-profit Hot Springs Village Animal Welfare League, we are a no-kill shelter.

We take action because we believe it is our social duty to care for and place abused and abandoned animals in loving homes. Unfortunately, some pet owners neglect or abandon their animals.

In 2001, the doors of the Guardian Angels Cat Club were opened, thanks to the vision of Virginia Harvey and others. Originally situated at 873 Park Avenue in Hot Springs' Historic District, the Shelter could accommodate roughly 100 cats and kittens at once. ​

In 1977, he then began working for the City of Hot Springs Animal Services. Animal fighting is now a crime in Arkansas thanks in large part to John's efforts. Additionally, he was a founding member of the Arkansas State Animal Control Association, which helped the state's animal control officers get certified.

We have a high adoption rate, so please don't hesitate to contact or stop by if you see a pet you'd want to take home.

This page serves as a showcase for the lovely animals up for adoption at the Malvern Shelter, for animals in need of foster homes, and to aid in the reunion of lost or found animals at the shelter with their owners.
