Noah's Ark Animal Shelter
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.
Noah's Ark Animal Shelter
Noah's Ark Animal Shelter is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing humane treatment for unwanted and abandoned pets in the Cooke County area of Texas. It was established by private citizens and the city of Gainesville to address the growing issue of unwanted pets in the region.
History
Prior to its establishment, the city's animal control facility was a dilapidated building where animals were often euthanized after a short holding period. Noah's Ark Animal Shelter opened in February 2006 under the leadership of Dr. Shelly Gomulak, marking a significant improvement in animal welfare in the area[1][3][5].
Operations
The shelter operates in cooperation with the City of Gainesville, accommodating both impounded animals and those relinquished by local residents. All adoptable animals are temperament tested, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped before adoption[1][4][5]. The organization also collaborates with local veterinarians to offer low-cost spay and neuter services for low-income households[1][4][5].
Mission
Noah's Ark Animal Shelter is committed to finding permanent homes for the many healthy and loving animals in its care. Despite being often described as a "no-kill" facility because it gives every adoptable animal a chance to be adopted, the term is somewhat misleading as animals deemed dangerous or carrying contagious diseases cannot be adopted out[1][3].
Financial and Community Support
The shelter's annual budget is approximately $225,000, and it takes in about 2,800 animals annually[1][3]. Funding primarily comes from community donations, as city support is limited[1][3]. Donations play a crucial role in maintaining the shelter's operations and ensuring the care of its animals[1][3].
Awards and Recognition
While specific awards are not listed, Noah's Ark Animal Shelter is highly regarded for its community efforts and animal care services in North Texas.

I work in a nonprofit and listing our organization on Eduo.org helped us reach new audiences and even new volunteers. It’s easy to use and feels built with love.
