Noah's Ark Animal Welfare Association
Our Mission
It is the mission of Noah's Ark Animal Welfare Association to work collaboratively; increasing the life-saving capacity of dogs & cats within our region while maintaining a safe and comfortable home for every dog & cat in Trinidad, CO.. Noah’s Ark Animal Welfare Association started as a foster-based program in 1998 by a group of concerned citizens seeking proper and humane animal care in the Trinidad area. As a result of the efforts of this pioneer group, Noah’s Ark Animal Welfare Association took over the day-to-day operations of the City of Trinidad Animal Shelter in 2001.
