ORION outtakes to brighten your day!
We rescued this little guy from an overcrowded, TX shelter. He is only 4-5 months old and is still cutting his canine teeth. He is full of personality and has wasted no time at all getting comfy with his foster family. He’s such a character.

With his amazing ARK fosters he is safe and loved, out of the shelter and getting ready for his transport to us next weekend. He has mastered crate training, potty training and is working on his home manners. Like many puppies who have lived in survival mode before rescue and gone without food and resources, he can be a little
protective around his food and toys right now. In time he will learn that he will never want for meals, toys and love. We know he prefers the company of his foster sister most and can be a little pushy with his passive foster brother. Like all puppies, he needs training to help him learn appropriate play style and proper etiquette in all
situations, something all adopters are required to do when adopting an ARK Charities dog.
We will be taking applications to find Orion's perfect home.

Beautiful and affectionate CHAI will be arriving this weekend and we can hardly wait to love on this boy.

Chai is approximately 8-9 months old and he is a smart guy and a quick learner. He has been fostering with one of our ARK foster families in TX and this is what they tell us. Chai is gentle and loving with his humans, his puppy foster brother and his human foster brother. H loves zoomies outside and sometimes can’t quite steer his Bambi legs because he hasn’t grown into them yet. He is crate trained, doesn’t make mistakes in the house, is pretty good on a leash and likes to stop and smell the flowers here and there. Chai is a soft personality, takes direction well and is very willing to please. Like any puppy, he will benefit from positive reinforcement training and experiences, and fair, gentle leadership. We want to see him in a loving home who will continue his training so he can be an ambassador for all the shelter dogs who are waiting for a second chance and love.

If you’re looking for a special puppy to be your best friend, please send in an application for Chai.

Please welcome SARGE to ARK Charities!
Sarge is 6months old, very sweet, biddable, incredibly smart and a dog friendly, young boy.

Sarge was left tied to a fence at a home where the owner was evicted the week before. The property owner found him when cleaning out the property and reached out to us. Today his life changed when we picked him up. Despite his traumatic experience and loss, Sarge is affectionate, trusting and loving. We promised him he will never have an uncertain future or be abandoned again.

Sarge is one of the many great dogs who has fallen in the gap of homelessness and abandonment due to no fault of his own. We step in to give these dogs a second chance, a hope and a safe,loving future.

Would you please consider making a donation to help us continue this life saving mission work to save dogs in need? Every penny goes to saving and changing a life like Sarge’s. Thank you for your support, together we are making a difference, one dog and family at a time.

We’re catching up on adoption posts.
Montana, now known as Halo 😇, is Adopted!

You may remember Montana’s story. We picked him up from a highly overcrowded TX shelter in June. After our foster picked him up she took him for a wellness exam. When they arrived his temperature was 106.9 degrees and his ability to oxygenate was severely compromised; it was at 75%! The family practice vet sent us to the ER clinic immediately. Our foster whisked him across town to a 24HR ER hospital for intensive care. He was gravely sick and they weren’t sure he would pull through. They diagnosed him with pneumonia and Mycoplasma which developed from a URI that was undertreated at the shelter (with only doxycycline). The shelter never treated or noticed his labored breathing, congestion or fever.

We immediately admitted him to the ICU. He was there for 5 days getting antibiotics, fluids, around the clock oxygen and intensive care in their ISO room. We called and checked in around the clock. The veterinary staff told us that had we not rescued him that day and sought immediate veterinary care for him, he wouldn’t have survived the night in the shelter and would have suffocated alone and in pain. We are beyond grateful to his heroine and foster Mom, Lisa McCullough, for dropping everything to help us save his life and to the incredible team at Veterinary Emergency Group for their round the clock care for him and treated him like one of their own.

Today he is living proof that miracles happen and good people still exist in the world. His new name, Halo, pays homage to his whole rescue experience. A heaven-sent and heaven-protected good boy with a wonderful new life. He is adopted and part of an incredible family who happen to be 4x (yup four time) ARK Charities adopters! This loving family have even saved a dog from the Yulan market. Halo hit the love jackpot!

What an honor when adopters return to us again and again, entrusting us to help them when adding another family member.

Thank you all who supported and donated to Montana/Halo’s veterinary care! Because of all of you, he was blessed with a new life, but we ask you to please understand this kind of rescue does not allow for fundraising before we have to commit to the dire medical care the dogs we pull often need. For Halo ARK had to commit to his lifesaving care and sign an estimate and service agreement for over $9,700 for the first 48 hours after his initial arrival triage, and every day thereafter another $2,800 was required, with the final day being a $2,563 invoice. We will never let a dog suffer and go without but the bills need to be paid. Without donor support, ARK will be sure that dogs in situations like Halo will get the best chance at a happily ever after, but sadly it means until the bills are paid, we can't rescue another dog, one that may be sits in a shelter, Red Listed for immediate euthanasia, which commonly are the dogs ARK Charities pulls. We always need your support to help cover the expenses already realized when we have major medical cases and we need your support to help with new rescues and their associated transport, vetting, training, rehab and daily care.

To all that help with donations , fosters, volunteers, transporters and prayers made this happen! Thank you all for being part of the ARK Family and saving lives with us.

Splish Splash, they were given a bath , long about a Saturday night.🛁 🧼💦

Lola (fka Lo**ta) and Orion (fka Jarvis) both had a spa day yesterday. Look at how these two sparkle now! Both were great for their appointments and seem so happy to be squeaky clean, giving copious amounts of kisses to the groomer.

Both of these sweet puppies, Lola and Orion, will be coming to us from TX soon and we will be looking for their perfect forever homes.

Donations to cover their private transport to us would be a huge blessing and help. We’ve had many recent medical dogs and funds are tight. Saving, vetting and transporting dogs is increasingly expensive and adoption fees don’t even begin to cover the costs.

As a fully donation funded rescue, we depend on our community of dog lovers to support our mission to save and change lives. Please donate, if you can. Every little bit helps save a life.

Fosters are an integral part of our rescue and provide a safe, loving and short term bridge from the shelter to us before transport. It is often only a couple of weeks and we provide all the supplies, food, toys, supplements and support. Fosters provide a safe, loving home for a pup needing to be out of the shelter that day.

We are incredibly grateful to our devoted foster families who provide this vital stepping stone to a new life.

Scroll through the photos from shelter pic to foster home and see the recent transformation and difference a foster can make. Chai was just a couple hours away from losing his life because the shelter was out of room. Now he has a new life ahead of him! All because of the generosity of kind and loving hearts, who made room for him for a few weeks before his health certificate, vetting and transport north to us.

God bless all who stand in the gap for these beautiful dogs in need. We thank you, our community of donors, fosters, networkers, transporters and adopters.

You shine and make a difference and we appreciate you more than you know! You are saving lives and making a difference in this world.

We’re catching up on adoption posts. Kirby, now known as TROOPER is adopted, loved and forever home! We rescued him from the high desert shelter in Apple Valley, CA. This affectionate and handsome boy only had two hours before he was going to be destroyed for space.

He is now part of a wonderful, GSD and rescue loving family who happen to be four-time ARK adopters! We rescued his GSD brothers, Sig and Halo, from Texas and his other brother, Bruno was rescued from the Chinese meat market near Yulan.

These pups are loved to the moon and back and it delights us that we still get to see them regularly.

Happy, beautiful life, Trooper!!

We love you and your family!

Oh Happy Day- ANGUS is Adopted and Forever Home!

To add the icing to this cake, Angus is adopted by previous ARK adopters who adopted his canine sister, Remy, a service dog, from us last year.

We first fell for Angus when we saw him in an overcrowded TX shelter last spring . His soulful eyes, pleading for a hero to notice him, tugged at our hearts. The condition of his coat and body showed how badly he needed our love and our help.

Thanks to a dedicated and loving temporary foster family, we made a plan to rescue Angus from the shelter and change his life for the better. With great care, love, vetting and nutrition, he began to transform, physically. It became clear to us that Angus gave his heart to someone before and was wounded by the loss and betrayal when nobody came for him at the shelter. Sometimes the process from rescue to perfect forever home takes a little longer. The physical rehabilitation often comes before the deeper work of emotional rehabilitation.

In the months that Angus was living with us when he came north, he began to smile more, to open up , trust and to know it was safe to give his heart again. A stoic gentleman, these still waters run deep with devotion, loyalty and love. Look at him smiling and forever home! A photo can be worth a thousand words, we can’t resist sharing several. This is why we rescue.

When you donate to ARK Charities your donation will save and change a life.

It’s been a busy day and we are so happy to say, LO**TA is safe and out of a TX shelter this afternoon!
We rescued Lo**ta today and she will NEVER see the inside of a shelter again!
Please welcome her to the ARK Charities Family!
Lo**ta is approximately 1year old, 58lbs and very smiley and friendly with everyone she meets. She is a wiggly and happy girl and today she got her freedom.
We can’t wait to give her the beautiful life she deserves!!
Follow along as we get to know more about her and share photos. Lo**ta will be coming to CT next month.

Donations save lives like hers. Please give if you can. She has already been vetted right after her freedom ride this afternoon. We got dewormer, preventatives and a check up on the hair loss on her back legs. Transport donations for her health certificate, spay and transport are needed.

Please give if you possibly can. No amount is too small to help. Your support and donations are changing lives for these incredible sentient companions and the families they bless. Be part of something good and help save a life.

LINUS, forever home and forever loved!

Happy Feel Good Friday from Linus. Linus came from TX and found his perfect love- match and forever here in CT! Linus is discovering toys and how fun they can be. He is one happy puppy! ❤️ Donations save lives and provide second chances for shelter dogs. www.ark-charities.org

Happy Adoption Day to Helga, now known as ARIA!! Another beautiful love match for a dog that was formerly Fort Worth Animal Care & Control Code Red Animals of FWACC and running out of time in a TX shelter. Many thanks to the amazing foster family who helped us save this precious, cat friendly, love bug and for giving her a life-saving stepping stone to rescue and her forever home before transport! www.ark-charities.org #arkcharities #savingshelterdogs #germanshepherdrescue #adoptdontshop #donationfunded501c3notforprofitdogrescue #loveloyaltyanddevotionon4paws #donateandhelpsaveashelterdogtoday #rescuerehabilitaterehomerepeat #foreverhome

Momma Blossom and her babies are already attuned to the clock… dinner’o’clock that is!

Happy Thankful Thursday! Happy Adoption Day to Gretel, Now Kali! Kali joins the family of previous ARK adopters and has a big brother named Everest to show her the ropes. It’s another terrific love match! www.ark-charities.org

AVAILABLE FOR ADOPTION: HELGA Part 1 (videos here and in comments below) We rescued Helga, a young and affectionate German Shepherd girl from TX. She is listed as 3 yrs old but is definitely much younger. Helga is very dog friendly and even earned a pink card on her kennel showing she is good with other dogs in play groups. She, also, tested beautifully in the cat room and was slightly curious, very respectful, and gave space immediately to the cats by backing up without so much as another look. Helga is very sweet and absolutely loves women and children and especially soft personalities. She can be initially shy with some men but builds trust and is accepting of new experiences. We believe it’s possible and quite likely that a man in her past was very unkind to her. In her foster home she is opening up and gaining confidence every day. She loves puzzles, running in the yard, zoomies and will snuggle in your lap for hugs and kisses. Every day we’re seeing more of her puppy side and it is so joyful for her and for us. Please see the very next post for photos of this love. Facebook won’t allow videos and photos in the same post anymore so this is part 1 of 2. Video credit goes to Nicole at Raising Awareness for Urgent Shelter Dogs!❤️ www.ark-charities.org

One of our most favorite things is hearing from adopters and getting updates on our pups! Over the last few weeks we have been so blessed to hear from so many families. Here are a just a few of our adopted pups celebrating the season and living their best lives! Donations save lives and when you give, you gift makes such an impact in the life of a shelter dog. Just look at these thankful faces. www.ark-charities.org #arkcharities #donationfunded501c3dogrescue #savingshelterdogs #adoptdontshop #rescuedogs #dogsarefamily

Please welcome LUCY to ARK Charities! We saw LUCY after we rescued Linus from another DFW shelter. The two dogs, both fair-haired Shepherds, look and act so much alike that we wondered if they are related. Lucy is incredibly sweet (see her video below), just like Linus. She is Heartworm positive which makes finding adoption and rescue much harder on these dogs. Many states won’t allow positive dogs to enter until completely treated. Her plight sat heavily on our hearts realizing that this beautiful girl may not have a chance to get out of the shelter and may be lost to the overcrowded system. …So we rescued her!!🥰🎉❤️ Lucy is a petite golden lovey who is only 64lbs. She is as soft as silk, is affectionate and loves to be near her person. She has a foster in TX who has generously committed to taking her through her treatment (2-3months) so we can give her the long and healthy life she deserves here in CT. She will be here in time for spring and she is worth the wait! We want to thank the awesome team at the Fort Worth Animal Care & Control and Code Red Animals of FWACC (Mel, Meghan, Brittany and Team) for helping us save Lucy and give her a better life! Stay tuned for photos and updates from her foster Mom. www.ark-charities.org
