The Ark Pope Memorial Animal Shelter
Finding Your Friend for Life
At The Ark Pope Memorial Animal Shelter, our mission is to provide compassionate care and placement for homeless, unwanted, or displaced animals throughout Washington and Hancock Counties. We are dedicated to building a brighter future for every animal who walks through our doors.
Our History and Our Heart
Since 1984, we have remained committed to improving the welfare of animals through community outreach, education, and dedicated support. As a proud no-kill facility, we ensure that every animal receives the care they deserve unless a serious medical or behavioral issue makes other options necessary.
How We Care for Our Animals
We believe in the power of socialization and individualized attention, which is why our staff and volunteers provide tailored training and personality profiles for every resident. By creating a nurturing shelter environment and offering temporary foster homes, we help ensure a smooth, low-stress transition from our facility to your family. We also prioritize the long-term well-being of our community's pets through low-cost spay/neuter programs and vital veterinary assistance.
A Joyful Partnership
Adoption is a major commitment and a beautiful journey, and we are here to guide you every step of the way. Our team works hard to understand each animal's unique personality so we can help you find a companion who perfectly matches your lifestyle. Whether you are looking for a playful adventure buddy or a gentle senior friend, we are excited to facilitate a match that leads to a lifetime of happiness.
Join Our Mission
We invite you to experience the warmth of The Ark for yourself by browsing our adoptable pets or visiting us in Cherryfield. Together, we can continue to make a lasting difference in the lives of the animals who need us most. We cannot wait to help you find your new best friend.
