Shelters are often inundated with pet surrenders, and do not want to provide a simple outlet that takes away the obligation of responsible pet ownership. Therefore, they would prefer that people try hard to find a solution before resorting to surrendering their pet to a shelter. If you must find a new home for a pet, please try posting to our adoption portal before placing the burden on the shelter. Direct adoptions work well and allow everyone to share in the accountability of their community!
No-kill shelters do wonderful work, but as a result, are often inundated with pet surrenders. In the unfortunate scenario that you have to find a new home for your pet, please read through the rehoming solution and articles on this page before contacting the shelter.

The above comment is simply not true. Animal Ark is committed to the no kill philosophy of sheltering. We are very proud of our 99.2% live release rate. Our animal intake is up as well as our adoptions. Visit us online and check out the good work we do!
This organization is under new direction, and the new executive director and board have proposed a change from no-kill to "low-kill." Proceed with caution as their board's philosophy had changed, and if this proposal is enacted, please ensure they are immediately removed from this listing so as to not mislead people who wish to support no-kill shelters.
