Rescue FAQs

It is estimated that each year 4-6 million animals are euthanized in the United States. This is mostly due to over-population of animals and there is simply not enough room in the shelters. Innocent animals are dying everyday including puppies and pregnant mothers. Many people are not aware of this sad reality. Our goal is to not only save lives, but to help spread awareness about this problem and promote adoption. The Ark Animal Rescue was founded in 2011 by Brittany Modica-Birtwell.
The Ark Animal Rescue is based in Orange County, CA. We rescue dogs from high-kill shelters and place them in foster care until they are adopted. All of our dogs are vetted, spayed/neutered, vaccinated, de-wormed and micro-chipped. We are committed to saving lives and making sure they are matched with the best possible adopters.

Additional adoption info

We ask that each person fill out an application prior to setting up a meet and greet. We want to make sure that it will be a good match before moving forward. All adopters must be at least 21 years of age and have the ability to provide and care for an animal.

At the time of the adoption, we also have a contract that both parties must sign.

Each adoption comes with a vet exam, spay or neuter, de-worming, vaccines and a micro-chip. Our fees are considered "donations" and can be used as a tax write-off.

Tax deductable donations can be sent to our paypal address: adopt@thearkanimalrescue.org
