Hi, everyone. The world is changing by the minute and people don’t seem to know how the world will look in an hour, let alone tomorrow. We at Animal Ark are staying apprised of CDC-recommended guidelines for stemming the spread of COVID-19.

A reminder that we remain open for business by appointment only. Please call us at (651) 772-8983 if you are interested in meeting our adoptable cats and dogs. Animal Ark staff and volunteers are exercising social-distancing precautions.

If you have ever considered fostering, now is the time. The more cats and dogs who are safe and warm inside even temporary homes, the lower the burden on our shelter during uncertain times. If you have room in your home for a foster cat or dog, please click here to learn more about the fostering process.

Please consider donating. Animal Ark understands that COVID-19 is impacting people’s job security. Some of our staff are part-timers with full-time employment elsewhere; most of our volunteers have day jobs. The uncertainty is palpable, but we would respectfully request that you continue donating to Animal Ark. Please click here to learn about donation options. If you are ordering things thru Amazon, for instance, you can choose Friends of Animal Adoptions as a recipient utilizing Amazon Smile. Every little bit helps and we are eternally grateful to our donors, at the best and worst of times.

We wish everyone the very best as we collectively learn how to cope with this crisis.
