Animal Shelters

ARK does not have a shelter of its own. This is a list of private and municipal animal shelters throughout South Korea where you can adopt, volunteer, donate, foster, or possibly find your lost pet. You can help a shelter find adopters and volunteers by adding them to our list! Read 5 Ways to Promote Animal Shelters on ARK for more ideas.

Thank you!
