We are honored to have the opportunity to serve these amazing animals, their new adoptive families, and the many communities across Minnesota.  ​While nothing can compare to the comforts of home, Animal Ark strives to provide an enriching environment for our shelter animals.  With Animal Ark’s staff providing basic medical care and keeping of our shelter animals, a dedicated group of volunteers provides the next level of care, making the rehabilitation of these wonderful animals possible.
