Cody's Happy Ending Story
Hi, my name is Cody and I was adopted 2 weeks ago from the Clive Petsmart. It was great to have to spend my 1st Christmas with my new family! I live with my mom and dad and my teenager. My mom and dad say I had a brother and sister who were dogs? Anyway my mom and dad were really sad because the dogs died within 6 weeks of each other. They were 13 and 15 and both were sick. Mom couldn't stop crying and Dad wouldn't talk about it.

Then they decided they wanted a kitten. That's where I come in. My dad had never had a cat before, so I worked on him and now he completely loves me. My mom loves me very much and smiles at me. I love my new family and mom says I'm spoiled rotten like all animals should be. You can see I'm very relaxed in my new home. Mom says I'm the best medicine ever for a broken heart.

Love,
Cody and family

Send Us Your Happy Ending Story
If you've adopted a Noah's Ark animal and would like to tell us about your Happy Ending, we would love to hear from you. Please e-mail your story and include the animal's original name, its new name if you've renamed it, and a picture (maximum of two) if you have one. Stories e-mailed to us with high-quality digital pictures will be considered for publication in our shelter Newsletter.

Many Thanks to Our Adopters, Donors and Volunteers!
Thank you! Thank all of you. You are all of our wonderful adopters, donors and volunteers. You along with our adoption partners, Clive PetSmart® and the Rescue Waggin'®, made 2011 an amazing year for Noah's Ark. Your generosity allowed us to rescue over 500 dogs and cats and then place them in their forever homes.

Amazing outcomes don't come from passion and commitment alone. They happen because the hardworking staff at Noah's Ark has the resources to make it happen: food, medication, cleaning supplies, training, and so much more.

Noah's Ark receives no government funding for this work. It's all you. Virtually all of our work is supported solely by private donations and grants. And you. Each of you.

If our work in 2011 helped make your vision for animals come true, please consider a donation to help us continue our work in 2012.

Thank you so much, from all of us!

Noah's Ark Lonely Hearts Club
Sometimes, we have dogs or cats that get overlooked. They remain at the shelter month after month, patiently waiting for their chance with a new family and a new life. To qualify for the Lonely Hearts Club, the dog or cat must be at the shelter for 2 months or longer.

Lonely Hearts come in many different forms. Sometimes they're cats or dogs who may be shy at the shelter, but who are carefree and friendly at home. Or they might be adult cats or dogs, when everybody's searching for kittens or puppies. And sometimes they have unique personality quirks that require a special family that is understanding and accepting of them just as they are.

If you are the kind of person who, above all, wants to help those in need—take a look at our Lonely Hearts Club members. They may not be the pet that everyone else is looking for; but perhaps they will be the love of YOUR life.

Lonely Hearts Club Cats: Lonely Hearts Club cats are designated "Lonely Heart" on the Cat Adoption page. These cats are available for a reduced adoption fee of $35.00.

Lonely Hearts Club Dogs: Lonely Hearts Club dogs are designated "Lonely Heart" on the Dog Adoption page. These dogs are available for a reduced adoption fee of $45.00.

Find Your Perfect Match!!
Noah's Ark has just implemented the ASPCA's® Meet Your Match Canine-ality™ Matchmaking program, which increases the potential for successful, permanent dog adoptions. The program—which includes a Canine-ality behavior assessment of each dog and a Dog Adopter Survey of each adopter—results in a color-coded matchmaking system that brings compatible companions together. The result is a reduction in the number of adopted dogs returned to Noah’s Ark because they aren’t a good fit. Click here to view the color-coded matchmaking system and find out how you can find your perfect animal companion.

Midnight. Raven. Jellybean. Those are just a few of the names that signal our beautiful inky coloring. Sometimes our photos don't do us justice, but don't be fooled. We black cats and dogs are the equivalent of that little black dress or a pair of fabulous dark "shades"—classic must-haves for every wardrobe—or in our case, every loving forever home! And don't you think our eyes look especially soulful in contrast to our silky black fur? Luckily, there are a lot of us around—so no one has to be without one.

Please take a moment to check out the beautiful black cats and dogs currently residing at Noah's Ark. They make loving, kind, faithful and loyal companions. Will you be the lucky one who gets to take one of us home?
