12:01 PM PT -- 9/14 -- A statement from the group reads, "Rescues Rock is pleased that on September 13, 2022, the Court denied Stephen and Cassandra Amells’ baseless request for an emergency injunction shutting down Rescues Rock’s important mission promoting animal welfare, education, and rescues, said founder Kristen Stavola."

They continue, "We look forward to proving, in Court, that the Amells’ claims lack merit, and that their bullying tactics have no place in our closely knit community."

Finally, they say, "We have started a GoFundMe campaign so we can pay the attorneys and experts who have been supporting our effort to keep our focus on the animals and rebuff these meritless allegations. Any support anyone can give us is so very much appreciated.”

Stephen Amell has a new target in his sights -- the guy's taking his neighbors to court over what he claims is an unpermitted animal adoption biz ... one that he says is super loud and stinky!

The "Arrow" star and his wife, Cassandra, just filed suit against Kristen Stavola and Jeremy Gardiner -- who run a company called Rescues Rock Inc. ... which they advertise as a pet adoption/foster enterprise that they run out of their home in Los Angeles.

The problem ... the Amells live next door, and they allege that not only is this operation a complete and utter nuisance ... but it's illegal too, at least according to their suit.
