ARK’s Spay-Neuter-Rabies Voucher Event

On June 22, 2024, ARK’s SNR team had an event to provide low-cost spay-neuter vouchers to the community. Joining the SNR crew was the Foster team along with some adorable, adoptable kitties. The event was very successful, with lots of happy members of the community getting vouchers for their pets. Huge thanks to Dr. Green at Riverside Animal Clinic, Dr. Ray at the Leitchfield Vet Clinic, and the good folks at Barren River Animal Welfare Association (BRAWA) for working with us to get some many critters fixed - helping solve the pet overpopulation problem and providing better health outcomes for the pets.

Bissell Pet Foundation Grant

ARK is proud to announce we have received a spay/neuter grant from @BISSELL Pet Foundation! Out of BISSELL Pet Foundation's partner network of over 5,600 shelters and rescues, we're so excited that we were chosen to receive their support! With a mission to find every pet a home, they focus their efforts on adoption, spay/neuter, vaccinations, microchipping and emergency support. The grant will help us spay-neuter 155 pets through our SNR voucher program. Woo-hoo! The next SNR event will be on December 10 from 10:00 to 12:00 at the Munfordville Baptist Church, back entrance. We will also offer optional microchips with each voucher purchase, thanks to BPF.

This grant helps ARK serve more community animals. We are now able to offer as many vouchers as you need, with the only limitations being how many our wonderful county vets can accommodate. More critters are getting fixed than ever, thanks to the Bissell Pet Foundation! Learn more about the Bissell Pet Foundation here. Thank you @CathyBissell #BissellPetFoundation #cathybissellsavespetslives #ark4hart

Grand Opening - Hart County Animal Shelter

The new Hart County Animal Shelter had its ribbon-cutting on June 24, with local officials and interested pet-lovers in attendance. Following the ceremony, ARK sold SNR vouchers in Floral Hall (behind the shelter) for a discounted rate, with funds provided by a matching grant from the Hart County Fiscal Court and Kentucky Department of Agriculture. We had a great turnout, with guests able to learn more about our foster and TNR programs, and to learn about the new pet life-saving equipment secured by Wes England for Hart County’s emergency services. ARK was able to sell 100 low-cost vouchers - great work, everyone!
