More about the shelter
The Ark's mission statement is:
* To rescue as many homeless animals as possible.
* To provide all veterinary care for each animal to include spaying/neutering before adoption.
* To maintain a no kill policy except for reasons of mercy or dangerous temperament.
* To promote humane treatment of animals.
The Ark provides all veterinarian preventatives to include: juvenile spay/neuter, shelter,
food and a loving âat homeâ environment for rescued animals while they wait to be adopted into a new loving home. The Ark operates solely on donations and fundraisers and receives no city, county, state or federal funding.
The Ark also has no paid employees. Volunteers from the community help out at the shelter caring for the
rescued animals as well as returning telephone calls. If not for caring citizens, the Ark could not operate.
The Ark serves our community by:
* Rescuing sick, abandoned and injured animals
* Constructing and maintaining a no-kill animal shelter
* Rescuing as many animals as possible from the City Animal Control Shelter before they are put to death
* Starting the first juvenile animal spay/neuter program to ensure ALL animals adopted from the ARK are spayed or neutered before adoption
Successful meet & greet, fenced yard, adoption contract, 2 week trial adoption period, adoption fee = $150 per pet

Hi I'm Rocky!
My brother Oscar and sister Missy are also here at the Ark with me. I'm the 'big brother' of the three of us and we're lucky that we have each other to play with, and we sure do love to play! But the truth is, we really all want our own home and family to grow up with. I'm shy at first because I wasn't around people much when I was little, but once I get to know you, I'm a big playful wanna-be lap dog! I just need a little time to warm up before I get my playful gear in motion. I love to spend time with the volunteers, and go for walks and play and I love meeting and playing with other dogs too! I was really lucky and got spend a couple of weekends at one of the Ark volunteers home, and got to show off how well behaved I am and that I'm even housebroken already!
When I arrived at the Ark, we played the 'guess what breed I am' game, and the most guesses were that I'm a Cur mix, but I know that's just a guess - I know what I am, I'm a Purebred Mix-Breed!!
And if you don't know what a Cur is - you sure have been missing out, good thing you found me because we're awesome dogs!! Check this out (from Google): Are cur dogs good family pets? Cur: Dog Breed Characteristics & Care Their energy, intelligence, and tenacity make them loyal workers and companions, while their desire to bond with humans makes them great family dogs.
**Ark Rescue dogs are available for adoption to homes in the Alabama and Tennessee Valley area only. We do require a secure fenced-in yard to adopt our larger dogs.
