What is ARK?

Animal Rescue Korea (ARK) is an English-language resource for helping animals in South Korea. ARK is not an official organization or charity and doesn't have an animal shelter of its own.

How ARK Helps Animals

Adoption Listings

ARK maintains a courtesy adoption listing service to help animal caretakers connect with potential adopters. By creating adoption listings, ARK members help find permanent homes for homeless cats, dogs, rabbits and other furry friends living in shelters, foster care, or boarding at vet clinics throughout Korea.

Animal Shelter Listings

People interested in visiting a Korean shelter to adopt, foster, or volunteer can search the listings to find a shelter and program nearest their home.

Resources for Caretakers

Resources to support the needs of pet guardians include a user-submitted list of vet clinics across the country, a directory of Korean and international links on pet care, pet travel, online pet supply shops, etc, and a growing collection of articles about animal rescue and companion animal care.

Getting Involved

ARK provides a list of ideas about how to help animals with links to various active groups throughout Korea.
