More good news.
The world continues to be a very uncertain place, as recent headlines will attest. Animal Ark would like to continue its practice of sharing good news as a way to counterbalance the fear and uncertainty.
A more interactive website.

Leave us a comment and we’ll respond.
But wait…that’s not all.
To the right of this post you’ll see the menu pictured here. We’ve archived our print newsletters. Click the date to open a PDF. You can also access and/or sign up for our regular “email blasts” to stay connected to Animal Ark’s activities. And finally, you can sign up to have our quarterly newsletter mailed to your home. This is all part of our efforts to stay in touch with our current supporters and attract new ones. Animal Ark has sometimes been referred to as “Hastings’ best-kept secret.” We’re trying to change that by drawing more attention to the great things we’re doing. Tell a friend about Animal Ark! Better yet, bring them to our shelter for a visit.
Speaking of which…
A reminder that Animal Ark is once again open for business, observing social-distancing precautions. Click here for hours of operation and specifics on precautions. If you’re thinking just what your household needs to welcome the warmer weather is a couple dogs to help with your outdoor-exercise routine, consider Max and Misty featured below! Animal Ark has many cats and dogs to fit any lifestyle, so visit our Adoption page to see who might be right for you!

And finally…relax…take time to enjoy life.
Animal Ark would like to remind you that Hastings has a charming downtown business district and scenic walkways perfect for relieving the stress of recent events. We encourage you to patronize local businesses. Pick up a burger and fries from a local restaurant and have a picnic by the river. Visit an antique store. Here’s just a sampling of what Hastings has to offer. Just as Animal Ark couldn’t have survived the COVID crisis without our supporters, Hastings’ businesses can only come back if you spend your dollars there. Help Hastings come roaring back by supporting our local business community!
