IMPORTANT NOTICE! Due to the parvovirus epidemic in the area all dogs on the waiting list for admission MUST have current vaccination against the disease with a certificate, as must any dogs going there for socialising with a prospective dog to be adopted.

The Ark Animal Rescue welcomes you to it's website. Please look around the site, where you will find information about the Ark.

We have long-term animals who will stay with us for the rest of their lives as they cannot be rehomed for a variety of reasons and animals which are waiting for a loving home. We take in animals for adoption from private homes, other rescues and sometimes via the dog warden. We have mainly dogs and cats but also have rabbits and small furries, including ferrets from time to time as well as occasional other species. We do not keep exotics.

Opening Times: We are open to visitors every day of the year, except Christmas Day from 12-3pm. Please try and visit between these times if you can as we are often busy with feeding and cleaning at all other times.

Please check the appropriate pages for terms of adoption etc. All dogs are microchipped free of charge. Unfortunately, the funding we had to cover the free vaccination voucher scheme has now come to an end so we are unable to offer it until further notice. Hopefully we'll manage to secure more funding in the future. We encourage owners to vaccinate their pets before handing them over to the Ark but cannot guarantee that every animal will be fully vaccinated.

All information on this website is correct to the best of our knowledge. We pass on to prospective owners all we know about the animals in our care but have to rely on former owners to be truthful and accurate. We do, however, update information at regular intervals as animals are observed and assessed. Please feel free to contact us for any information or advice about our animals or services that you cannot find on this website and we will do our best to help.

OUR REGULAR NEWS LETTER CAN BE FOUND ON THE NEWS PAGE!

PLEASE NOTE: We are struggling to keep up with the demand for rescue places for both DOGS and CATS and have very long waiting lists, so have regretfully decided that we cannot accept any more for the time being until we've got our lists down to a manageable level.

ARK BOARDING FACILITIES

As well as taking in dogs for boarding, we now have a licence for cats too . Our charges per night are £5 for 1 cat, £7 for 2 and £10 for 3 cats. All animals MUST be vaccinated and proof of up-to-date vaccination shown upon request and all animals must have had recent flea treatment. Bookings can be made via the Ark office on 01507 358140 or by calling in at the Ark during opening hours. Dog charges are £10 per kennel per night but this charge is under review.

Please ensure your pet is in by 2pm on day of admission and must be collected by 12midday. All pet belongings are left at owner's risk as we provide food and beeding. Please see FAQ page for more details.

A FEW STATISTICS
We thought people may be interested to know how many animals we rescue. We normally show each month's figures but, as we're in a new year thought people may be interested in our figures for the whole of last year:
