Noah's Ark SPCA/Humane Society

For nearly 20 years, Noah’s Ark Animal Shelter has been a safe haven for thousands of unwanted, abandoned, and abused animals in Cooke County. What began as a small group of concerned citizens determined to make a difference has grown into a lifesaving nonprofit. With support from the City of Gainesville and donations from the community, Noah’s Ark Animal Shelter opened in February of 2006, operating under the leadership of Shelley Gomulak, DVM.

Noah’s Ark SPCA 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 accept impounded animals, as well as owner surrenders, and we strive to find proper homes for the many healthy and loving animals that find their way to our shelter.

All of our adoptable animals are temperament tested, spayed or neutered, vaccinated, treated, and microchipped before adoption. We’re proud to have earned the Platinum Seal of Transparency from Candid/GuideStar, showing our commitment to accountability and ensuring you can give with confidence, knowing your support directly impacts the animals in our care.
