Teenage Girl Killed by Neglected Dog Pack After Attempting to Feed Them

  • On Wednesday, June 11, 2025, 15-year-old Makayla Fortner died after being attacked by a neglected pack of dogs at a home in Alexander, Arkansas.
  • Fortner, along with her mother, had been looking after and trying to provide food for approximately 30 to 40 starving dogs that had been neglected by their owners on the property.
  • Neighbors had repeatedly complained to county officials about the out-of-control, vicious dogs that often roamed freely, but no animal control existed in Saline County.
  • Authorities euthanized 14 dogs following the incident, and neighbors voiced their anger, with Heidi Clay remarking that the tragedy might have been avoided if earlier action had been taken.
  • The incident spurred a fundraiser raising over $27,000 for funeral and veterinary costs and raised concerns about the need for improved animal control and community safety measures.
