Ark Animal Sanctuary – Week of July 27, 2021

As many of you know, The Ark is home to many feral cats. Caring for them can be difficult at times, especially when they are sick.

Pet show fun

What a great week we had for the Maine Potato Blossom Festival. Tempo Employment Service, always a big supporter of the animals, sponsored the Festival Pet Show.

To scratch or not?

If you have had the pleasure of owning a frisky feline, then you have probably experienced the little darlings playfully scratching where they shouldn’t be.

Ark Animal Sanctuary – Week of July 12, 2021

A few years back, the Ark Animal Sanctuary took in 15 cats from a hoarding situation. The conditions they came out of were not good and many of them were sick and none were altered.

Fireworks and pets

Summer has been warm and wonderful so far, and with the Fourth of July behind us and many more summer festivals happening, chances are pretty good that many celebrations will be happening with fireworks.

Dogs and water safety

Now that summer is officially here and the weather is warming up, many pet owners will be heading to their back yard pools, the lakes or maybe to the Maine coast to enjoy a vacation.

Purpose Pups dog training opens in Shiretown

Tyler Jones knew he was at a crossroads in his life and a change was needed.

A bad rap

Lovable, affectionate, goofy, loyal -- these are just a few of the awesome things that come standard with a pit bull. I have always said, “There is no such thing as a bad dog, only bad owners.”

Keeping a cool dog

As I write this on Monday, the forecast for today is for 92 degrees. Granted, that is somewhat unusual, especially in northern Maine, but some of us love it, some of us not so much.

A smashing success

May 19 will definitely go down as the day of the most successful fundraiser in the history of the Central Aroostook Humane Society.

A special fundraiser and summer fun

We’ve been chosen -- the Central Aroostook Humane Society has the honor of being selected for Jordan’s Way Fundraiser scheduled for Wednesday, May 19, from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Raising puppies

Puppies, like human children, are vulnerable. Their development and growth depends on how they are treated early on and human behaviors can influence their responses into adulthood.

Feral cats have all too common stories

The Ark is home to approximately 30 feral cats. Each one has their own personality and their own story. Many of the stories are heartbreaking.

Thoughts on adoption

We want to take this opportunity to say how wonderful it was, after a year, to finally to be out in the public. Our booth at the Spring Trash & Treasure Sale proved to be the one of our best ever weekends at The Forum.

Who’s your boss?

Just a reminder that the Central Aroostook Humane Society will have a booth set up at the Spring Trash & Treasure Sale this weekend, May 1 and 2. Stop by and say hello and check out the wonderful treats that we will be selling.

Behind the barking

Dogs bark to communicate with each other and with their owners, but sometimes all that barking can get out of hand. Constant barking can fray a family’s nerves and create turmoil in a neighborhood.

Interview with the dog

Some good news to share is the fact that we will be set up at the spring Trash & Treasure Show at The Forum on May 1 and 2. It has been well over a year since we have been able to do any fundraisers for the Central Aroostook Humane Society.

Ark Animal Sanctuary – Week April 12, 2021

All too often we at the Ark Animal Sanctuary receive phone calls looking for kittens or specific types of cats like Siamese, rag dolls or Persians. Some people actually are very specific like it has to be a female, orange, long hair and not over one-year old.
