FRIENDS OF ANIMAL ADOPTIONS INC

Friends of Animal Adoptions, Inc. (doing business as Animal Ark) is a long-running, donor-facing 501(c)(3) animal welfare organization founded in 1977 that operates a no-kill shelter and adoption program in Minnesota. The organization explicitly follows a no-kill policy and accepts sick and injured strays who require medical care.

Animal Ark operates an on-site shelter and community programs (including neonatal care, foster and volunteer programs, and a Community Emergency Medical Fund), and reports placing well over 1,000 companion animals into homes each year while maintaining a shelter capacity of roughly 180 animals. The organization has been active in recent years with community fundraising (emergency fund appeals and local partnership events) and reported fiscal-year 2024 activity consistent with mid-to-high six-figure annual revenues and multimillion-dollar total assets.
