About Our Rescue Group
I began ARK in February of this year when I became very upset over the Albany Animal Shelter and the fact that they euthanized dogs that could have been adopted out. The shelter manager at the time did not advertise the dogs, would put them down if they were black, had pit in them or she just didn't think they were adoptable. She had 6 week old puppies euthanized because she said they were not adoptable. I just could not let this continue and I got involved with saving 19 dogs in there at the time, plus a total of about 150-175 to date. My intention was to help people find new homes for their pets if they could no longer keep them and to take in strays and dumped dogs and find them the perfect forever new home for them. There have been many many happy endings for several dogs who would have been euthanized. I love animals and I can't see an animal suffer and if I had the money I would have something similar to Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Utah.
Come Meet our Pets
If anyone is interested in visiting an adoptable pet they can either come to the Bethany, MO, area, or we can meet at a mutually convenient location. They can come to my place if they like.
Our Adoption Process
An applicant will fill out an adoption form and questionaire and then we will look it over and ask further questions if we feel more information is needed. We are looking for good, loving, permanent homes and prefer the animal be an indoor animal. We have the adoption agreement which states that the animal will be well cared for, given proper vetting and be kept current on all vaccinations, etc. Spay/neuter is a requirement. Either the animal can be altered before it goes to the new family or they may have the animal altered, if an adult, within 30 days, providing proof of same to us. If a puppy the owner has 6 months to provide proof of spay/neuter. If we provide the vetting we ask that the vetting costs be reimbursed by the adopter, and the payment can be made directly to the vet performing the service.
Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life! What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder? When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes. So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group. |
