10 COMMANDMENTS FOR RESPONSIBLE PET OWNERS (author unknown)

1. My life is likely to last 10-15 years. Any separation from you will be very painful.
2. Give me time to understand what you want of me.
3. Place your trust in me - it is crucial for my well being.
4. Don't be angry with me for long, and don't lock me up as punishment. You have your work, your friends, your entertainment. I HAVE ONLY YOU !
5. Talk to me. Even if I don't understand your words, I understand your voice when it's speaking to me.
6. Be aware that however you treat me, I'll NEVER forget it.
7. Before you hit me, remember that I have teeth that could easily crush the bones in your hand, but I choose not to bite you.
8. Before you scold me for being lazy or un-cooperative, ask yourself if something might be bothering me. Perhaps I'm not getting the right food, I've been out in the sun too long, or my heart may be getting old and weak.
9. Take care of me when I get old. You too, will grow old.
10. Go with me on difficult journeys. Never say, " I can't bear to watch it" or "Let it happen in my absence." Everything is easier for ME if you are there. Remember, I love you.

The ARK's Mission

The Ark was incorporated for the purpose of rescuing animals from shelters before they are put to death. The Ark's main mission is to ensure a good quality of life for each animal rescued by adopting it to responsible citizens that will provide care and a loving home, and to:

* Educate the public in the responsibilities of pet ownership, animal care, welfare and control.
* Ensure every animal adopted by The Ark is spayed or neutered so as to not add to the tragic over population of our domestic pets.
* Assist citizens with sick, injured, abandoned and orphaned animals.
* To bring public awareness to the tragic number of dogs and cats that are put to death annually locally and nationwide.

The Ark shall stand for Always for animals, Respect for animals, Kindness for animals.

Adopting a friend


All pets will be spayed/neutered BEFORE they leave our shelter.
We regret that we are only able to do local adoptions. It is not our policy to ship pets.

REMINDER: It is UNLAWFUL to abandon animals in the state of Alabama. Please do not leave animals which need homes at the shelter. Speak with a shelter volunteer about alternatives for placing your pet.
