About

The Ark of Hope Rescue, Inc. is a rescue organization, located near Cumberland, MD, that takes in abused, neglected and/or abandoned animals. Together Dianne Care, her husband Bobby, their son Bobby 3, and their daughter Elizabeth are the folks who take care of the animals and run the Ark -- you can find out more about them in the "About Us" page. Over the years Dianne has been rescuing animals, but the cost of vet bills, food for the animals, spaying and neutering, as well as the numerous other supplies needed to do this became too financially prohibitive; so, they decided to set up an organization where others would learn about caring for dogs, cats, etc., and hopefully people would decide that they wanted to help. They have built a new building suitable for some long term rescues. These are the animals that come here in need of medical attention, or with slight behavior problems that need to be addressed before they are placed in new homes, as well as other reasons.
