Noah's Ark Society is very excited to be working with the Managing Ourselves Conference, a Summer camp and conference for teen leadership development. This conference is an invaluable opportunity to gain experience in collaboration, creativity, and innovation. Noah's volunteers Charles and Carrie will be leading a program for 16 and 17 year olds at the conference. One of their projects will be a developmental study on the rescue and rehabilitation of animals through Noah's Ark Society.
The conference runs July 15th to 21st. There are still seats remaining. If you know any academically gifted students in this age range, follow the link below to sign them up today!

Big New Additions!
Noah's Ark is very excited to announce that we are now able to rescue, rehabilitate, and rehome horses! After several meetings with volunteers who were ready, willing, and able to coordinate equine rescue, Noah's Ark officially accepted the first three horses into rescue on June 11, 2012.
Three additional horses are coming into the program next week. At the present time, we have foster capacity for 18 horses, but expect that number to grow.
With the addition of equine rescue, we can use volunteers for some new responsibilities.If you are horse experienced and interested in evaluating horses to determine if they are broke and/or to what level, we need you! Our equine team is committed to using natural horsemanship methods in order to not stress horses that have already been through far too much.
With that said---meet our first equine friends:
Jewel -7 year old Arabian Mare - Jewel is like a puppy dog with her mischevious personality and overly friendly ground manners. She is broke to ride, and uses a bitless bridle. She is extremely clever and a joy to be around. She had a beautiful dark bay coloration. Her adoption fee is $500.
Evangeline - 9 year old Arabian Mare - Eva is a little shy with new people, and takes time to get comfortable. She was seized from a neglect case when she was pregnant, and gave birth the Aurora, who is also adoptable. We do not know if Eva is broke to ride, but she has really great ground manners. Her adoption fee is $150.
Aurora - 5 Month Old Arabian Filly - "Rory", as we call her is a sweet little goofball. She loves to show off an play, and will nuzzle a human like another horse--you just have to watch that she doesn't bite your nose, as even though she is just playing, it would hurt. Rory has grown up in rescue and never known abuse or neglect. She is ready to be weaned from her mom and go out into the big world on her own. Mom is Evangeline, the sorrell Arabian mare, and Dad was a gorgeous Gray stallion. Rory is turning Grey already and will be spectacular. This girl has great form and conformation, and could grow into a perfect eventing horse.

Mazie - Needs Adopting!
This little girl has been through a LOT. She was found on the side of the road, had been hit, and was picked up by Cheatham County Animal Control. X-Ray’s showed that she not only had a broken hip/leg, but she also had two MASSIVE bladder stones. Everyone was shocked at how mild mannered and sweet she was, even under so much pain. Mazie went into surgery, had the stones removed, leg amputated, and now she is up for adoption! She is the happiest, sweetest little girl, and is adapting very well. (Please note, Mazie's name was changed from Lulu. The photos below are of her.)
This is one of the stones that were pulled from Mazie's bladder. Each stone weighed a full pound. Poor girl.

Bella Marie - Cherry Eyes Fixed!
Thanks to wonderful donors, we were able to fix Bella Marie’s cherry eyes!! She was also adopted. 
Abandoned Farm
7 dogs, a horse, a donkey and 3 cats have been abandoned on a farm and are in need of your help with TEMPORARILY fostering some of these animals. The animals are currently being fed and watered, but are in need of a more stable environment, consistent food, socializing and some have medical needs.
The DA on this case is currently working on the best direction to deal with the owners, but the animals don’t have the time to wait, they need your help now. If you have the room to foster, please let your heart help these wonderful animals.
Supplies will be provided. Please contact Noah’s Ark Society at 615-438-7184.

Hay Day 2012
What a successful day! Hay Day is all about making local dogs’ living situations more comfortable and livable. This was Middle Tennessee Pet Resource Center’s event, put together by Tamasine Singer, but we had a great turnout from Noah’s Ark Society’s volunteers!
Due to the overwhelming response from the Annual Hay Day in December 2011 and the numerous additional requests for help we’ve received, MTPRC went back out just in time for Valentines Day to show the cold and neglected dogs that they are loved. “We want the cold and neglected pups living outside year round in Middle Tennessee to know they are not forgotten,” says Singer of MTPRC.
We went out into the community and delivered free hay, dog houses, dog toys, dog treats and winter weather advisory tips for owners.
Keep checking back for updates on our next Hay Day event, or “like” us on Facebook!
