- Animal Rescue Konnection

Animal Rescue Konnection (ARK) bridges the gap between dogs in need and people and organizations able to provide them with new homes. We specialize in helping breeds that are harder-to-place due to discrimination and labeling, behavior issues, and any condition that limits their opportunities such as working breeds, dogs with medical issues, and senior dogs.

We do not have a shelter or foster system of our own; instead, we are a networking and resource organization that supports and collaborates with progressive animal controls, shelters, and rescues that take on ‘at risk’ dogs.

Since May 2012, we have helped save more than 1,200 dogs in need of a new home, transfer to an appropriate shelter or rescue, or financial support, giving them a second chance for 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.
