Support Noah's Ark Society by Eating at Ruby Tuesday!

We try to make supporting Noah's Ark Society fun AND easy...and what's easier than enjoying a great meal in order to give?  You have to eat, right?

So...we've signed up with Ruby Tuesday to be part of their community give back initiative.  We had an amazing turnout two weeks ago in Brentwood, and there are still 2 Tuesdays to go....

Tuesday May 14th AND Tuesday May 28th. 

Here's how it works.

1) Print the attached form
2) Eat At Ruby Tuesday
3) Give the form to your server

DONE....  Yes, it really is that simple!

On May 14th the Green Hills Restaurant will be supporting Noah's Ark Society and on May 28th the Mt. Juliet Restaurant will be serving in support of Noah's Ark Society.

Oh, and did we mention?  Ruby Tuesday takes reservations, so no worries about getting a date night table, or enough room for the whole family....why not do a department outing at work, and get your coworkers to go?  It's good good, awesome salad bar, and a good cause.

Here's the link to the flyer: http://image.rubytuesdayrestaurants.com/lib/feb915797d6d0278/m/21/448404082013.pdf

Win Tickets to Walt Disney World by Becoming a Member!

We are right in the middle of our 2013 membership drive, and this is an exciting one for Noah's Ark Society.  Maybe you adopted a dog, cat, chicken, rabbit, turtle, horse, goat, donkey or pony from us... (Yes, we really did rescue, rehabilitate and adopt out all of the above last year!!!).  Maybe you follow us on Facebook or on our website, and just believe in what we do.  Maybe you are new to Noah's Ark Society, but just want to support a GREAT cause.  Whatever has led you here, we are just very glad that you found us.

So about that Membership Drive....we have 4 levels of membership as follows:

Individual - $25
Family - $50
Sponsor - $200
Patron - $500

With each membership level you can get amazing rewards from Noah's Ark Society.  First and foremost, everyone who joins will be entered into a drawing to win a family 4 pack of park hopper tickets to Walt Disney World.  That's a $600 value!!  For every increment of $25 you donate with your membership you get 1 entry to win.  For instance, with an individual membership of $25 you get 1 entry, but maybe you want a family membership, and want to donate an additional tax deductible $50 for a $100 total donation...you'll get 4 entries into the raffle.  All Members will also receive our gorgeous monthly newsletter.

The drawing for these tickets closes on June 14th, and we'll draw the winner June 15th, in plenty of time for you to plan your Summer Vacation.

If you support Noah's Ark Society at the sponsor level you'll automatically receive a Noah's Ark Society T-Shirt, and if you are able to support us at the Patrol level you'll receive a T-Shirt, Coffee Mug, and our Canine Cookbook; Sniff the Cook.

We'll include the names of all sponsors and patrons on our website, and include your business in our links and referrals page if you are a sponsoring business. 

So, what are you waiting for?  Help us keep up the lifesaving work we are doing by supporting Noah's Ark Society and becoming a member today.

Queenie Is Home!

We have to give a HUGE thank you to everyone who kept an eye out for Queenie and shared her information.  The entire neighborhood was aware that Queenie was missing from the network of volunteers who went door to door and the shared posts through Facebook.

Thankfully through storms, flooding, and days of beautiful Spring weather, Queenie never left the area, and today Queenie was caught, safe and sound.

Queenie will be coming back to Noah's Ark Society, and back to her original foster mom, Megan.  We have a feeling Queenie may life with Megan forever, but we'll know more on that in the near future.  In Megan's words, Queenie is a little thin right now, but the GREAT news is she is safe, and on the way home.

DOG AMBER ALERT - Queenie Is Missing!

Please help us find Queenie!  Queenie was lost near her home in Greenbrier, TN this afternoon near Swift Rd and New Hall Rd, close to the New Hall Rd and I-65 junction. She is wearing a Brown Collar with Green Spots and Noah's Ark Society Tag. Queenie is a blue tick Catahoula mix. She is very shy and timid. She was only in her adoptive home for 2 days before getting lost, so will not know her neighborhood well. Please DO NOT CHASE Queenie. If you see her, call Noah's Ark Society at 615-438-7184 immediately with detailed information on where she was spotted.

We DO have a search party going out to look for Queenie on SUNDAY APRIL 28 AT 10:00 AM. The meeting address is  7540 Swift Rd, Greenbrier, TN.  If you have any time at all on Sunday, please join in the search.

Love Is Pawsible (Noah's Ark Will Not Be Attending!)

APRIL 26 Update - with the weather forecast of 80% Chance of Rain and high temps in the 50's tomorrow we have decided that it would not be in the best interest of our volunteers or dogs to attend this event.   We have made apologies to Happy Re-Tales, and hate to back out, but we also must do what is right for all of you who give so much of your time and support to us.  Thank you for your continued care of our rescue dogs, and we look forward to seeing you at our next adoption event.

 
Please join us for the 1st Annual Love is Pawsible Pet Adoption Fair this Saturday! It will be held at the Lakeside Center in Maryland Farms with dogs and cats from over 11 different Middle Tennessee Rescues including Noah's Ark Society looking for their Forever Homes. This is a FREE Pet and Family Friendly Adoption Fair with contests, face painters, balloons, samples of food and of course, shopping. We hope to see you there! We would like to thank our sponsors, Humane Healing, Nutrisource, WKRN and Nashville Paw for helping make this event possible.

We're still working on our list of dogs who will be in attendance, but right now we have confirmed that Harper, Barnabas, Dobro, and Bella will all be present. 

We hope to see you there!

We're Recruiting...Join the NAS Team!

Want to be involved with Noah's Ark Society in a bigger way?  We are recruiting for some great volunteers to be a part of what we do.

Some of the current needs are:

• Dog Adoption Coordinators - we're looking for 2 people who love dogs, and have about 5 hours a week to work on helping approve applicants for dog adoption
• Cat Adoption Coordinator - We're looking for 1 person who loves cats, and has about 1 hour a week to work on our cat adoption team.
• Horse Adoption Coordinator - We're looking for 1 person who loves cats, and has about 2 hours a week to work on our equine adoption team.
• Horse Training Volunteers - We're looking for 1 person in the Gallatin area and 1 person the Franklin area that is horse experienced and willing and able to spend hands on time with our rescue horses in foster.  This role takes a commitment of about 2 hours per week.
• Photographers - If you have photography skills and a camera that takes better photos than a phone, we need you!  Anywhere in Middle Tennessee is helpful, since our foster dogs and horses are scattered among great homes throughout the region.
• Ebay Manager - If being an online afficionado is your forte, then we would LOVE you to manage our online Ebay store.  We'll send you the details on all donations for sale, and you simply list, the items so we can raise $ for the animals in our care.

There are lots of other ways to be involved as well, so if these don't interest you, but you do want to volunteer, please just email us at noah@noahsarksociety.org.  We'll happily put your skills and experience to work to help the animals!
