Ark Animal Sanctuary

We thought we would give you another update on our progress with the new building. Due to the cold weather it has been slow, but the good news is that the furnace is now in and hooked up! This means our workers can stay warm and get more accomplished.

The sheetrock will start going up in a few days. We are so excited; is really starting to look like a sanctuary. We are counting every penny and making sure that we are getting the most bang for our buck. This is why we only have a few people working on the building and they are doing it after they finish working their full-time jobs.

Animal shelter retires mortgage with grant

“This was very unexpected,” Miller said. “I was standing in the post office with tears in my eyes when I opened the letter. We are so appreciative.”
