Noah's Ark

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.

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

Please remember...
Even an imperfect shelter is a SHELTER. They are trying to save helpless pets that other people have thrown away.They are always overcrowded and understaffed. They deal with cruelty and neglect that most of you, thankfully, will never see. If you want change, be part of it. Volunteer, donate, adopt. Bashing does NO good, it only hurts the pets.

This is Dr. Shelly Gomulak. I volunteer hours every week to spay and neuter and care for the animals at Noah's Ark. Noah's Ark is a great shelter. All cats and kittens are tested for Feline Leukemia after their 3 day stray hold. We do not adopt out sick animals or cats/kittens with Feline Leukemia. The people who have been posting about sick animals and spending thousands on them when they have had them for months confuse me. Did you call Noah's Ark and tell them you were having issues? Did you use your free examination voucher at one of the local vet clinics? You sign a contract to provide veterinary care when you adopt. If you can't do this, don't adopt. Lying on a contract is illegal. If your adopted pet gets sick within a week after adoption, please call the shelter for advice, we are happy to help. We love animals.

PET OF THE WEEK: Amy Rose is our pet of the week! Amy Rose is a 4 year old Pit Bull mix. She came is on October 8th when someone found her in Gainesville as a stray. We do not know anything about her history but we have gotten to spend a lot of time with her at the shelter. We know that she can be a little shy at first, but is sweet as can be. She is fairly quiet so we do not think she would make much noise in a home. Again, we think she is around 4 years old so she is out of that puppy stage and ready to find a home where she can relax and enjoy. She has the most beautiful brindle and white coat that is smooth and shiny. This would be very easy to maintain and would not require much grooming. She is great with other dogs, great on a leash, and house broken. Her adoption fee will be completely covered this week so come meet her! We would love for her to have a home for Christmas! ❤🐾
