ARK is always seeking volunteer assistance. The kindness and help of others is at the heart of everything we do.
Foster
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.
Adopt
When you are ready to give a cat or dog a ‘forever home’, adoption is the choice for you. There are many animals in desperate need of a safe home and a loving family.

The Homeless dogs and cats are always in need of a safe and loving home. If you are ready to give one of these beautiful animals a second chance for a great life, adoption is a wonderful way to help. Animal adoption is one of the most rewarding things you can do; the animals are so grateful!
