To begin the adoption process for an Ark animal, please complete our pre-adoption application. We typically review and respond to these applications typically within 24 hours.


Before you attempt to surrender an animal to the Ark, please contact the municipally-supported shelter under contract with your town. As we receive no public funding from our local communities, we kindly request that you check with the shelter that serves your community first. This allows us to focus our resources on our mission of organization: saving animals that have no other options available to them due to age or medical condition.
