Naoki is a rambunctious and silly dog, but super loving and down to earth once you get to know her. She loves toys; Especially when you put a milk bones in her toy purse. She is only a little over a year. She would make a great hiking buddy or would love to go on runs. She loves to play tug of war! She loves to give kisses and is very sweet and cute. She is a Puerto Rican love bug!
Joey is about 5 years old. He has been bounced around a lot due to his strong leash-pulling and high-energy level, but he is a very good boy. He is an airedale terrier/wolf-hound mix, but small to boot-about 35 pounds of strong man! He would really like to go to a home where he can stay there forever and be loved. Please give us a call.
Fifi is a chi mix, very sweet and will make someone a beautiful companion. She does not care for being left alone, but is a love bug who will steal your heart. She is about 6 years old and struggles with arthritis. She is a Puerto Rican sweetheart and was rescued by the Ark. We’d love to chat about her if you are interested!
The Ark staff and Shelter Administrator would like to take a moment in recognizing Michelle M. Wright “Shelly” as the new Shelter Manager at the Ark!
Michelle has been a full-time Animal Care Technician since July 2019, and volunteered with us prior to being hired. She takes charge with confidence, is excellent with the public, committed to Pet Point Date Entry and is taking charge of it. Most importantly, Shelly is dedicated to the shelter and has natural insight to animal care and well-being. Shelly takes every animal that comes into the shelter under her wing. This includes dogs, cats, guinea pigs, rats, rabbits, birds, and any other critter that comes our way. Regardless of their behaviors and challenges, Shelly loves them and respects them.
Shelly was the first employee to be recognized as Employee of the Quarter, always being willing to help and being confident in decisions in regards to animal care. At any given moment, you will come into the shelter and hear Shelly gently cooing to every animal she sees while providing them all with love and respect.
Shelly has a background in animal care, employment in pet stores, and experience with staff management and training. Welcome to the management team at the Ark, Michelle! We are so happy and proud to have you as the Ark’s new Shelter Manager.
Very Sincerely,
Shelter Administrator

The only thing Wesley knows is love. He is very patiently waiting to go home with someone who is patient and committed. Wesley was found dumped off in the backwoods of Wesley. We can assume he lived in a garage or a kennel his whole life, and isn’t quite used to living in a home. He is doing ok with house training, but will need more work and will need to be kennel trained and have lots of love and attention. It is guesstimated that he is around 4-5 years old, but he tested positive for Lyme Disease. At times, he is a little lame and likes to lay around a lot, although he can be playful and goofy. We would love to have a conversation with the right family about the sweet Wesley. Wesely is around 40 pounds.
