If you’ve ever wanted to become more actively involved in Animal Ark’s No-kill mission, consider joining our Board of Directors.

In October, Animal Ark holds it Annual Membership Meeting at which we’ll elect new Board members. Here’s a link to our Board of Directors page. Our Board Members’ bios illustrate that they’re all very passionate about animals and Animal Ark. Ours is a “working Board,” meaning that our members contribute several hours per week to the day-to-day operations of our shelter. You’ll often see Animal Ark Board members walking dogs, socializing cats, and helping with chores around the shelter. Anything to make our visitors feel welcome and our residents feel secure.

Animal Ark wants to step things up in 2021. We’ve described ourselves as “Hastings’ best-kept secret,” but we’d like to change that. We seek Board members who want to promote Animal Ark in Hastings and beyond. We’d like people willing to work with and mentor our volunteers; to help with marketing and promotions; and to be “the face of Animal Ark” as we solicit donations from businesses and individuals. Marketing experience is a plus; we’re open to new ideas for spreading the word about our rescue.
