Over the past several years concerned citizens have formed different organizations to solve the increasing problem of unwanted, abandoned and abused animals in the Gainesville area. Under the leadership of Dr. Shelly Gomulak, Noah’s Ark, S.P.C.A was organized. With support from the City of Gainesville and donations from the community, Noah’s Ark Animal Shelter opened in February of 2006. Noah’s Ark S.P.C.A. is dedicated to providing humane treatment for unwanted and abandoned pets in the Cooke County area. Our Shelter facility operates in cooperation with the City of Gainesville to accommodate impounded animals and will accept animals relinquished by local citizens in return for a small donation. It is our mission to find proper homes for the many healthy and loving animals that find their way to our shelter. All our adoptable animals are temperament tested, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and micro-chipped. In addition to our adoption services, Noah’s Ark has combined efforts with compassionate local veterinarians to offer low-cost spays and neuter services for low-income households.
