| Noah’s Ark truly believes that every animal deserves a chance at a happy and healthy life. If a medical condition can be treated to ensure a favorable quality of life, then we do everything we can to offer these extraordinary veterinary procedures. These second chances do not come without cost. The animal has already endured the trauma of the events leading up to his condition. Noah’s Ark believes so strongly in its adoption focused solutions that no animal is euthanized for a treatable medical condition. But, we need your help. Although we wish these extreme cases were few and far between, they are not. We need your financial support to help these wonderful animals find their forever homes where they can be spoiled with love, affection and attention.
The Cobi Fund is set up to designate monies for these extraordinary procedures. Cobi was a dog whose knees were out of their grooves and required several surgeries. He has since been adopted and is living happily ever after with his family. We have kept his name on the fund since he is such a great ambassador for second chances.
Diablo was abandoned at the shelter at only 8 weeks old. During his initial evaluation the staff noted what appeared to be chemical burns on his eyebrows, whiskers and in and around his mouth. It was obvious he had personality and we immediately got him to the vet’s office where he could be further evaluated. The vet confirmed that Diablo had sustained acid burns in his mouth and throat and around his eyes. Diablo has since been adopted and is flourishing in his new home. “He has more toys than I did as a child,” says his fur-dad. The cost of this second chance: $1,020.

Five little Mastiff puppies clung to life as their dead mother’s body kept them warm. One of their siblings wasn’t fortunate enough to fall asleep underneath their mom and he froze to death too. It was freezing cold in this garage in Netcong and it wasn’t until a worried neighbor checked on the dogs that these five survivors were discovered. Shortly after the puppies arrived at the shelter, they showed symptoms of Parvovirus. Since their mother had died before they could be weaned, they were not able to get the necessary maternal antibodies to fend off this virus. Parvovirus is characterized by sever, bloody diarrhea and vomiting, high fever and lethargy. This often leads to severe dehydration and ultimately death. There is no cure – only the symptoms can be treated with IV fluids and antibiotics. This can prevent dehydration and the loss of protein. Sadly, one sick puppy succumbed to the virus. The four remaining puppies now, however, are thriving. All have been adopted to their forever homes and are being loved and snuggled like all puppies should be. They are growing fast and turning out to be great pets! The cost of this second chance: $6,532.

Nacha, a 7-year-old Chihuahua, was brought to Noah’s Ark from Associated Humane in Newark to get a second chance at being adopted. As an older dog, she was overlooked for cuter, fluffier puppies. It was apparent after the staff spent some time with her that she would do better in a foster home. One staff member agreed to take her home for a few nights. It was then that he realized that she was straining to go to the bathroom and it became more and more evident that she was in pain when going to the bathroom. Nacha ended up showing large crystals in her urine and had to be treated for kidney stones. She’s been adopted to a wonderful home and has several other doggie siblings who are all loved and spoiled by their family. The cost of this second chance: $1,269.

May arrived from an overcrowded shelter down south where, because of overcrowding, she would have faced certain death. Shortly after her arrival, the staff noticed that she would frequently walk into walls, tilt her head and walk around in circles endlessly. A deep inner ear infection? A brain tumor? Our regular vet referred us to a veterinary neurologist who diagnosed her as having brain damage in the base of her brain. This was most likely caused during birth. May has since been adopted and it is obvious that she will live a long and happy life and get lots of love and attention. The cost of this second chance: $2,178.

Violet, a three year old purebred yellow lab, had a seizure one morning. After several extensive tests, she was diagnosed with chronic hepatitis and the seizure was secondary. She spent three weeks at the vet trying to get her liver under control. She is back at the shelter and she is on a regiment for medication and special prescription food. She is now feeling fantastic. Violet is looking for a foster home where she can get some extra TLC. She is in need of round the clock medical attention. She is great with children, cats, walks on a leash, and loves to play with other dogs. Please come down to the shelter and volunteer to foster violet. Come open your home and your heart to Violet. The cost of this second chance: $10,000
