"Every animal's life is meaningful and they all deserve loving homes."

Our Mission:

The mission of The Ark Animal Sanctuary is to rescue and provide food, shelter,
medical assistance, love and compassion to any animal in need, regardless of age
and medical condition that cannot otherwise be placed with a contracted facility.

We will take full responsibility of every animal placed with us until they find new
loving and forever homes.

The Ark is a no-kill organization. Euthanasia will only be considered when a
veterinarian recommends it for the best interest of the animal.

We believe every animal's life is meaningful and they all deserve loving homes.

The Ark Animal Sanctuary is an all-volunteer, donor-supported registered 501(c)3
non-profit charitable organization.

Your donations are greatly appreciated and are tax-deductible.

We are always in need of Foster Homes for animals that come in and can't be placed immediately into permanent homes.

If you would like to be a temporary Foster  Home for an animal in need (please note, we will provide for food & vet care), please complete & submit a Foster Application.

Lost your pet or found someone else's?

Please contact your town and ACO and local animal shelter with a description and supply
a photo, if possible. Every Maine town must contract with an animal shelter and strays/
animals-at-large are the responsibility of ACOs and those facilities. Getting a description
in front of these people will greatly help in getting found pets returned home.

You can also post on local radio, in newspapers and tv, as well as post fliers locally. Use Facebook and alert all your local friends.

Featured Pet:
Coalman

Coalman was an adoption that didn't work out for another shelter in AR and they asked us to rescue him from an uncertain fate. He's had no training for the many months he was with his first owners, but is coming around under the tutelage and patience of Canine Solutions. Coalman is neutered, up to date with shots, between 6-7 mos old. Because of his situation, he's still very shy, a nervous pee-er. We need and want him to go into a home with another socialized dog and understanding guardians. He thrives under that kind of doggie companionship and human patience. For more adoption info: 207.532.7387.
As with all our animals, a Pre-Adopt Application  must be completed and approved.
