Animal Ark’s No-kill mission means a couple things. One, we take in animals other shelters might turn away. And two, we devote all the time and effort required to prepare these pets for forever homes.

Below are Latte and Bonnie, a couple of canine residents who epitomize our No-kill mission. Both came to us with troublesome pasts which led to trust issues. Thru the patience of our staff and volunteers, both dogs are slowly coming out of their shells. When Bonnie thinks no one is looking, she’s been observed exhibiting the joie de vivre that should be the embodiment of every dog’s life. Latte has begun enjoying her daily walks with our volunteers and is learning, slowly but surely, that a human can be a dog’s best friend.

If your household has a little extra time, patience and love to devote to an animal, please consider one of our Special Need Pets. As our staff and volunteers have discovered, the turnaround in these dogs’ lives is both astounding and touching. A little extra investment now leads to payoffs that can hardly be measured.
