"In Home Surrender/Foster Program"
For Southern Aroostook County, Maine
The Ark Animal Sanctuary has implemented this program to work in partnership with pet owners who have the need to re-home their pets due to unexpected circumstances, whether brought on by health concerns, financial issues, etc.
Under this program, the animal will remain at home with his/her owner/guardian while photos of the pet are networked through the Ark's online system.
Keeping a pet in his/her own home environment while networking for a new adoptive home is beneficial for the animal in reducing the stress and confusion of suddenly being in a strange place, cared for by strangers. A calm pet is a healthier pet and more appealing to potential adopters. This also alleviates the financial burden and space requirements on the sanctuary/rescue/shelter where the pet would have been placed.
