You must be 18 years of age to adopt a dog from Noah’s Ark. If you would like to adopt a dog, an adoption counselor is available during most shelter open hours. If you would like to visit us outside our regular hours, please call us at 641-472-6080 to schedule an appointment. If you have any questions about the dog you are interested in, please call us at 641-472-6080.

If you are traveling some distance to Fairfield and desire a “same day” adoption, please call us in advance to set up an appointment. The completed Adoption Application can be e-mailed to dogs@noahsark.org, faxed to 866-289-0897, mailed to us, or completed at the shelter. Adoptions will be completed after the application is processed, and after the health and medical work is up to date for the dog you wish to adopt.

NOTE: Multiple applications on the same animal are processed in the order in which they are received. Adoptions will be completed after the application is processed and the health and medical work is up to date for the dog you wish to adopt.

All animal intake is by appointment only.
