【1/19 Update】Noto Peninsula Earthquake - reaching out to animals in need【2】

【1/19 Updated on January 19】

Dog Taken in for Boarding
With the owners rendered unable to look after their dog due to a lack of pet friendly housing for evacuees, ARK took in a dog on January 17th while the owners looked for a pet friendly home. We will take good care of their beloved pet until they are able to rebuild their life. 

Requests for volunteers closed
We put out a request for foster volunteers, we received much support and cooperation. Currently, there are not many pets in need of fostering, so we decided to end incoming applications for fosters. We greatly appreciate everyone’s assistance.


After the earthquake early in January 2024, many people and their pets were left stranded. We opened our helplines on January 5. We will assist those in greatest need first, but will help as many people and animals as we possibly can.

Dog Taken In

This 17 year old dog’s owner became unable to continue caring for him in the aftermath of the earthquake. He was brought to ARK on January 10. We hope to find him a loving home.
