Board members
ARK is always seeking volunteer assistance. The kindness and help of others is at the heart of everything we do.
Committee members
Fostering means taking care of an animal for a short time,( e.g. when recuperating after surgery. )
This is both a needed and rewarding service.

Haybulans & the shelter
ARK Animal Rescue is dedicated to helping stray cats and dogs. Our work focuses on rescue, medical care, feeding, sterilisation, and improving the daily lives of animals living on the streets or in shelters. Haybulans, on the other hand, is a 24/7 emergency veterinary service that responds to urgent cases. If an animal is injured, sick, or in immediate danger, Haybulans provides fast medical assistance, stabilisation, and transport to veterinary clinics. For emergencies, call: 0090 444 7114 (English speaking option). Together, ARK and Haybulans ensure that animals in Kuşadası are protected, cared for, and given a chance at a better life, whether it’s daily care, rescue, or urgent medical attention.
HALO - Helping Animals Living Overseas
ARK Animal Rescue works closely together with HALO (Helping Animals Living Overseas), an international animal welfare organisation that helps rescue animals find safe and loving homes abroad. ARK focuses primarily on helping stray animals in Kuşadası, Turkey. HALO supports this work by helping many of these animals find permanent
homes outside Turkey, particularly in the United Kingdom and other countries. Through their experienced adoption network, HALO carefully matches rescued dogs and cats with suitable families.
While ARK rescues and cares for the animals locally, HALO manages and coordinates the international adoption process. HALO is managed by Corinne Oakes, who is also one of the Board Members of ARK Animal Rescue. This close collaboration helps ensure that rescued animals are supported both locally in Turkey and throughout the adoption process abroad. Together, this partnership allows us to give more animals a second chance at life, not only by improving their lives here in Kuşadası, but also by helping them find loving forever homes. If you are interested in adopting one of our animals, the adoption process is organised through HALO.
