A teenager died after being attacked by several dogs in Arkansas.

On Wednesday, June 11, the Saline County Arkansas Sheriff’s Office issued a press release stating that a female was fatally attacked by dogs in a fenced area of a private property.

“On Wednesday, June 11, 2025, at around 12:15 p.m., the Saline County Sheriff’s Office received a 911 call reporting a female being attacked by dogs. According to the police release, deputies and emergency medical personnel responded immediately to the scene.

According to the report, “Upon arrival, it was determined that a 15 year old female had been fatally attacked by multiple dogs located within a secured, fenced area on private property.”

There were approximately 30 dogs inside the residence “as part of a rescue,” according to police.

“The victim had been previously assisting the rescue with the care of the animals and was helping to find them permanent homes,” the policewoman said. “The reason for the sudden and tragic attack is currently unknown.”

The sheriff’s office also stated that they will not release the victim’s name “at this time,” “out of respect for the family.”

Authorities said that with the assistance of Benton Animal Control, the “animals at the location that have been associated with the attack” were seized.

According to KATV, 14 dogs were euthanized as a result of the incident.
