Animal Rescue Konnection (ARK) bridges the gap between dogs in need and the organizations that can help them find new homes. We specialize in matching breeds that are hard to place due to discrimination and labeling with progressive shelters and rescues willing to take on the challenge of taking in these ‘at risk’ dogs and giving them what they need to succeed.
We are not a shelter or rescue organization. Rather, we are a networking organization enabling us to save more dogs’ lives by collaborating with existing rescues and shelters.
Since our founding in May 2012, we have helped save more than 1,100 dogs in need of transfer, by finding them a shelter or rescue and giving them a second chance at the life they deserve.
Available for Adoption
The dogs listed below belong to shelters, pounds, other rescues, and private owners in the MA and NH area. Therefore, each dog’s point of contact and/or instructions to apply will vary. Please check the end of a dog’s bio for the correct information.
Before bringing home your new four-legged family member, please learn how to help him or her acclimate to a new life. All dogs go through a transition period. Some adapt quickly, while others take months to feel at home. Do yourself and your dog a favor and read our Adopter’s Guide to Rescue Dogs.
