Noah's Ark

Noah’s Ark S.P.C.A. is dedicated to providing humane treatment for unwanted and abandoned pets Very few animals ever left the transfer station alive. Give today.
(53)

Noah's Ark is a non-profit animal shelter in Gainesville, Texas that is supported by generous citizens in North Texas. Noah's Ark was established by private citizens and the city of Gainesville 5 years ago to help deal with the unwanted pet problem in the area. Prior to Noah's Ark, the city animal control building was a dilapidated metal building in the city transfer station or dump. The animals b

rought there were given the 72 hour holding period and then euthanized. Today, adoptable animals are spayed or neutered, vaccinated, treated for internal and external parasites, tested for Feline Leukemia or heartworm and microchipped before adoption. The new building on Weaver street houses 120 animals. Dogs have play yards that they are turned out in twice daily and are walked by volunteers in addition to their play time. The cats have an exercise area that is packed with "kitty jungle gyms" for play or hiding and are brushed and cared for daily by staff and volunteers. All animals are temperament tested to make sure that they are placed in homes most suitable to their personalities. Noah's Ark finds homes for all adoptable animals. By definition, that makes Noah's Ark a "no kill" shelter. Unfortunately, "no kill" is a misnomer. There really isn't such thing as a no kill shelter. Those rescue organizations that claim "no kill" only take in a certain number of animals and then only the highly adoptable animals. The other animals are funneled to the city animal control where they are euthanized after their 72 hr holding period. Noah's Ark is different. We take in everything from the city of Gainesville. We are the Gainesville Animal Control. Everything is given a chance. If it is a dangerous animal that can not be safely adopted out, we can not adopt that animal out. Likewise, an animal that has a highly contagious deadly disease it can not be adopted out. Animals that are friendly and healthy often stay at the shelter for months waiting to be adopted. Noah's Ark does not have a time limit for the animals. One dog "Sunny", a 13 year old, toothless, catahoola mix will live the rest of her days at the Ark lying on the couch in the front office welcoming all that enter. Noah's Ark is a haven for the lost,abandoned and abused animals of North Texas. This wonderful organization could not exist without the charity of the local veterinary clinics that spay and neuter the shelter animals and care for the sick and injured. It could not exist without the charity of the North Texas citizens whose funds keep the animals fed and healthy. Noah's Ark's annual budget is $225,000 and takes in approximately 2,800 animals a year. The board of directors are not paid and funding from the city of Gainesville only averages to about $13,000/year. All donations go directly to the care of the animals. Donations keep the Ark afloat. Donations give the animals a second chance and hope for a loving home. Keep the Ark afloat. Shelly Gomulak, DVM

Hi! My name is Eeyore! Not only am I the bestest boy but I am PET OF THE WEEK!! I am a handsome young Black Lab. I am friendly and affectionate, and playful. Labs are known for being very smart, easy to train, with great dispositions. I am housetrained, good with kids and nice with other dogs so I fit the mold perfectly. I would make a great family dog or companion for someone. I would like a home where my people spend time with me, play with me and exercise me, let me be part of the family and teach me to be the best boy I can be. I will learn the rules very quickly, just be patient with me and give me time to settle in and feel at home. If you can do these things for me, you will get in return, a best friend, loyal companion and protector, and all the kisses you want! Adopting a pet is very fulfilling, knowing you helped a furry friend who needed you, and you might just find that you needed me too. I am neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, and I get a free health exam at a local vet. You can't go wrong choosing me, come let me show you! I am here Monday-Saturday 11am-5pm, closed Thur. and Sun. My adoption fee is only $50 and that’s a deal. You just can’t turn down.. I will be here patiently waiting for my new home.

June is a 10 yr old lab mix who was an owner surrender with her sibling who has already been adopted. She is a very sweet and gentle girl who is great walking on a leash. She still has lots of energy and love to give to someone. She is part of the Ruby slippers program, which means her adoption fee has been paid so there is no cost to adopt her. If you would like to give Sweet June a home she would be forever grateful.

Howdy, my name is Frannie and I am PET OF THE WEEK! My adoption fee is only $50! I am a Catahoula Leopard mix. I am a grown girl, but I am sweet and petite! My crazy puppy days are behind me, but I’m still playful, happy, loving, and hoping someone will want to make me part of their family. I am house-trained, loyal, and good with other dogs, so at one time, I had a family who loved me. People say I am a smarty pants and would easily blend into your home and family routines. IS IT YOU? Do you have time to spend with me? All I need is a safe and soft place to sleep and someone to play with and exercise me. I promise to give you love, happiness, and faithful friendship for all my days. I am spayed, vaccinated, and microchipped. I also get a free health exam at a local vet. I would love to meet you; please and come see me Monday through Saturday, 11 AM to 5 PM, closed on Thursday and Sunday. My adoption fee is only $50, which is a bargain for the sweet little girl you get! Please make my dreams come true, and take me home with you today!

MJ is the new Noah's Ark Pet of the Week. *Video in comments* He is such a sweet boy who is well mannered along with being housebroken. He would enjoy a loving home with a big dog bed or couch to snuggle up with his people. He is around 1.5 years old and a German Shepherd mix. He will sit for treats and loves to be outside getting attention. His adoption fee is $50 which includes him being neutered, microchipped, current on parasite prevention and has the age appropriate vaccinations. Who wouldn't want such an awesome boy???

This is Frannie. She is an adult female Catahoula leopard mix. She is a small and smart girl who is housebroken and good with other dogs. Very sweet and friendly.

Check out Dawson! The fluffiest and bestest boy! He is an adult male great Pyrenees mix. He is gentle and house trained, good with kids, and other dogs. Would make a great family dog or loving companion for someone.

Meet Cleopatra! She is our Pet of the Week! Her adoption fee is $50. She is a wiggly energetic Plot hound mix. Like Cleopatra, she is a real looker but she has none of the drama!

Wow! Look at this fluff bucket! Meet Calliman a Golden/Australian shepherd mix. Cute, smart, loving and walks great on a leash. He's a Ruby Slippers program doggo looking to finally go home.

This is Pup! A shy and quiet soul that's been looking for a home for a long time. He's a Rottweiler/GSD mix so he is sweet, smart and loyal. Please share! Let's get him a forever home!
